This was my first time shooting a session at the Buffalo Equestrian Center, and the Tudor-style of the barn as well as its location right in the city made for some unique portraits. My favorite spot however, was a small patch of grass between the two driveways, which provided a ton of greenery in the background and sunlight filtering through the trees. It was a perfect summer evening, giving us the most beautiful glowy golden hour light. We also did a black background session, with Flick being done up nicely with hunter braids.

Motion Picture "Flick"


Jackie has been leasing Flick from the BTRC for almost 3 years. She loves how he nickers at her when she comes into the barn, and he likes any and all treats. Her favorite memory with him is showing in Saratoga, as he is wonderful there and it is a fun time every year.
