Bella

This photo is of my new Lipizzan mare, Bella and my dog Ollie.
I took this photo with a lensbaby to give it a soft effect and I also applied some filters in photoshop.
Bella is a real sweetie and very photogenic, I am looking forward to photographing her this summer!
Here is a photo I took of her for the EPNet winter solstice shoot. She seems to like to strike that pose!

Happy New Year!

My daughter Trina and I took a short trip to Florida to visit family recently and it was nice to enjoy some sun and warm weather and walk on the beach. We also spent some time at the American Orchid Society.
Back home we are in winter survival mode and the usual battle against the elements of snow, wind, ice and cold that we get every January. The days are getting longer and and this is the time of year to catch up on the thousands of photos taken over the year before.
I recently joined facebook and am enjoying connecting with friends, family and clients there.
