Mia + Magic : a girl and her horse | iowa city, ia portrait photographer

Photobucket
 I love getting the opportunity to photograph something new,
 and doing a shoot with a horse is definetly new and fun!
Awhile back Mia asked me about doing pictures with her and her horse, Magic.
I was excited--this was another morning shoot, which was beautiful.
 
I took horseback riding lessons for several summers when I was younger,
but haven't been on a horse in years, and I actually rode on Magic with her a little when we took these.
I need to get back in the saddle again soon! ;)
 
Mia is a beautiful girl, and seeeriously cracks me up.
she goes from looking like she's 16  in some shots [she's actually 12],
to hilarious expressions, then back looking like a little girl.
[all in the same shoot--impressive talent]
My stomach was about hurting from laughing so much by the time we were done--
fond memories of taking these back in October.
 
We tromped through the timber behind her house along with her mom, and made some art...
meet Mia + Magic, everyone.
 
[p.s. is this horse photogenic or what?!

  5. ahhh! So much fun! I absolutely LOVE all of these photos. Definitely one of my favorite photo shoots by you. :) I see what you mean, she really can look older than she is. She's a beautiful girl, and I love how she wanted a photo shoot with her horse. These photos are really sweet and I'm sure she'll treasure them for years to come.

    Blessings!
