Being a high school senior can bring a mixed bag of emotions. Excitement about the future - leaving home, learning in a new environment, choosing a career; but it can also bring about changes that aren't easy - less time for riding, or even having to give up riding altogether for a season.

Audrey and her Horse Delilah
This was one of my all time favorite sessions! Audrey and Delilah made me laugh and smile through the whole thing, and they made it possible for me to make some of my best senior/equine images to date!
