Minnesotans like to talk about the weather, and I’m no exception. Boy, did we Minnesotans have a lot to talk about this summer and fall! Some days, I feel like I should have minored in meteorology, because I am pretty much at the mercy of weather from May to November…

Leah and I board our beautiful horses together at Windward Farm. I have really enjoyed riding with Leah and getting to know her better over the past few years. She’s a smart, strong young woman with excellent horsemanship skills and a smile that lights up a barn. 🙂 For this…
Alli and I board our horses together and this is the second time she has agreed to be in front of my camera during a mentoring session. I find one of the best ways for me to teach is to shoot alongside the person I am mentoring, and I like…
