Kringle & Vanya

On Saturday I had a pet portrait session with Mike & Kathleen's dogs, Kringle & Vanya at Eagle Island State Park. We had great weather and beautiful light for their session. I had a great time getting pics of Kringle & Vanya with both of them being so well behaved and photogenic!  

Mike & Kathleen own Kringle's Korner Pet Health Food in Star. Their store carries all natural and organic pet food with great prices. The store is named after Kringle who they rescued on Christmas Eve. They have a couple of great goals to benefit the local community - to build a no-kill shelter called Kringle's Haven and to collect donations for the locale law enforcement K-9 units. Stop in and see them when you are in Star!

Hank, Hailey & The Kids

Yesterday Ben & I went over to Chad & Katie's house so I could use the kids as models again. Our friend Adam was over there with his kids too.  All the girls were kind enough to let me follow them around snapping pictures and I even got them to pose with the dogs, Hank (the pointer) & Hailey (the yellow lab).  I had to bribe Addie to smile by letting her use my big camera to take pictures after we were all finished. LOL!

On Saturday I will be at Wag 'n' Walk at Eagle State Park and some of the cute kids & their dogs pictures will be on display.

Boise Pony Club Jumper Show

Over the weekend I photographed at the Boise Pony Club's Jumper Show at the Idaho Horse Park.  This is one of the big shows for the pony club kids.  Everyone did a fantastic job with their rides, even if it was a little windy and cold!

For me personally it is great to see the kids riding better and moving up in the levels as the seasons pass.  It is a testament to the their hard work and dedication to riding.  Keep up the good work!

The Pony Club is a great organization that teaches riding and horsemanship in a safe and fun environment.  If you are interested in learning more about pony club or would like to join, please go to their website at www.boise.ponyclub.org

Idaho Dressage Festival

This past weekend I had the honor of being the official photographer for the Idaho Dressage Festival at the Idaho Horse Park.  This year we had fantastic weather unlike past years when it has been cold, windy and wet. 

I want to say I am sorry to anyone I did not photograph that signed up.  My shoot schedule got messed up with all the scratches and ride time changes especially on Sunday.  

Here are a few of the many great shots I got this weekend.  All the horses and riders looked fantastic!  Great job riders!
