It’s Playtime

Nothing makes me happier than to see my girls playing together. Since it was a windy day it was perfect for playing with the… parachute man? Ok maybe they need new toys, but whatever they do, they always have fun! =)

Daddy The Horse Trainer

Daddy Trains Daddy Trains

Watching daddy train horses is always fun for my girls and for me to photograph. This day was Ravijoe’s time to get trained but things didn’t go so good for him. The saddle came half off and he ran around bucking forever trying to get it off. Even though I got some nice photos. I did feel bad for him but everything had a happy ending. He soon calmed down and he was able to get the saddle off. He was unharmed but the round pen got a few more boards knocked off. ;)

While all this was going on my girls and I got to see something better than TV for once.  What can I say, every horse trainer likes an audience and this day daddy got the best audience in the world! =)

Babygirl and Shiloh

Babygirl Shiloh Babygirl

These girls are pretty much loved and spoiled and just wanted to post my most favorite photos of them. While we do love all our other horses and have tons of photos of them, these two girls are always posing for me… I guess because they are just so loved and spoiled and gorgeous! =)

Mommy’s Girl

While I’m usually the one taking everyone’s photos, sometimes it’s nice when a couple are taken of me.  I specially love when my girls are with me.  In these photos only one of my girls is because my Sophie is being my amazing photographer. I just wanted to post some photos she took of her mommy and sister. It’s never too early to start learning! =)

Mommy's Girl
I love teaching any and everything I know to my girls and they always love to learn! =)

My Playful Horses

Watching my horses run is such a fun time for all of us specially me. I usually just grab my camera and try to catch up to them. I’m not sure why they take off running other than they are just so happy to see me or running scared away from me… but that’s only what I think. What to do I know! =)

While I try not to get in their way I do run around, trip and fall like a crazy person. I love trying to capture them when they seem to me they are so happy and free. =) I love it! It doesn’t last long so I only try to do my best. They can be a bit lazy sometimes. I was happy with these photos and I only fell once… When will I learn never to chase horses wearing flip-flops! =)

Shiloh Gets Saddle Broke

IMG_6125

Getting Shiloh saddle broke for her first time was so fun to watch and her sweet and trusting personality made it easy too. At first she had no idea what that thing on her back was and began bucking until she realized it wasn’t going to hurt her. She soon calmed down and she began following Gary around the pen. Now came the fun part… Trying to ride her! I was hoping for some fun next but even then she was such a good girl. =)

And now she is ready! =) I was hoping I would get to see some bucking off action but she was so good she trusted him on her back. I kept telling her “It’s ok baby girl, you can buck him off if you want to” I was just trying to help! Ok, no, I was just trying to get him bucked but he likes it, though. =) He’s a pro!

I was so proud of her and she looks adorable with her saddle on. I got her as a present when she was a baby and the first horse I fell in love with. =) She has a perfect lightning bolt on her forehead and is the sweetest horse ever… you can’t help but love her. =)

Sweet Kisses

We got Shiloh when she was just a few months old and we all fell in love with her sweet personality. I knew one day she would be the horse I would ride and now that she has begun her training she is doing so good! I’m beginning my training too so we’re going at it together! She is loved, spoiled and always loves getting sweet kisses from all of us. In these photos my girl Sophie even got some sugars back from her. =)

My Girls Enjoying Their Horse Riding Fun Day!

I love to see their happy faces when they ride their pony. While Sophie has been riding her pony Flipflop for a while, Camila is in training right now and she seems to be a natural at it thanks to daddy’s family… they are amazing horse riders! =) Now if only it could rub off on me a little bit, that would be great! My girl Shiloh is being trained right now… she will be my riding buddy… I have some photos of her training soon! I might just start with a more experienced horse for now though. When that happens I will sure post photos… I can’t wait! =)

I Got Bunnies!

These little guys are the sweetest things ever… they are free and they all play together all day in the ranch. =) This guy here his name is Phantom and Gracie and I can’t remember the other’s name but they all have a name of course. =) What I love the most is that they are so friendly and they love to pose for me! I Love My Bunnies! =)

All Things Cute & Tiny

My love for all things cute and tiny has led me in this insatiable search to photograph birds. This Spring I will try my best to get one of those adorable close ups I’ve been dying to get.  Right now I’ve only had far away shot so I’m not so happy. There’s so many branches and being so far away I can hardly even focus on the tiny thing.  They are adorable and I wont stop trying!  =)

Does anyone have any tips on how to photograph these adorable tiny creatures? I almost got a wood pecker but I was so slow it flew away! Right now so many birds are singing around I don’t know them all by name but I just want their picture! It’s time to refill the bird feeders! Wish me Luck! =)

My Red Cowgirl Hat


IMG_5241  IMG_5311
A few days before the Houston Rodeo which will come later, (I’ve got Kenny Chesney photos!) my girl Sophie had the chance to try on her red cowgirl hat. Although it was cheap, she loved her red hat and looked adorable at her school’s Western Day dance. =)
I kick myself on the head for not taking a photo of both girls with their hat on… you know how it is, they are never still long enough. I will try to post more photos in my Facebook page later.  For now I just wanted to show how cute Sophia looked with her hat.  She’s a proud country girl and she’s been practicing her horse riding skills to prove it.  I’ve got some photos of that, too of course, I will post soon. =)

My Birthday Girl

IMG_4041 IMG_3912 

I recently realized I never posted photos of my babygirl’s birthday as well as many other ones such as Valentine’s Day. Apparently I am a little bit behind.

I was so proud of my little girl… she is now a raging toddler with tantrums and everything! She’s not my little baby anymore and makes me kind of sad… but in a good way of course. =)

She has entered the “terrible Twos” and what can I say… BRING IT! I will cherish every single day because they go by so fast and before I know Camila will be as big as Sophie.

IMG_4012 I Love you Sweet Babygirl! We went to ITZ and she got to ride all kinds of fun rides and eat all the sweets and cake she wanted.  She was spoiled and loved so much on her special day. =)
Here's a couple more photos of my girl
