Impromptu Horse Shoot

I photograph a lot of equestrians and I always enjoy working with them. On October 31st I stopped at the barn to pick up my niece to take her and do some photos when one of the boarders asked if I had my camera with me. She was trying to get fall shots and got excited.

Now I am not one to do shoots with no contract in place or promise of payment. But I said I would give her five minutes and shoot a few shots. Below are three from that mini speed shoot— if you have ever worked with a horse on a windy day you will know that getting perky ears and no hair in the girls face was a trick.
