Taryn and I have been talking about doing an equine shoot like this for a long time. She has had her horse Jennifer since she was a kid herself, and has given her horse a wonderful retirement.
I looooooved these photos of Jennifer and her son Ricco. So cute!
“Chance of Rain”, or Jenny looks pretty darn amazing for being 32!
Taryn had groomed Jenny to the point she glowed! A horse photographer ‘s dream! <3
Next we got some pictures with Taryn’s daughter Brynn. We got some laughs in!
A picture perfect family! Love these!
Brynn is so darn cute. Every time I go to that barn she is on or around the horses!
She is so dang cute! Oh my goodness! Talk about pure joy!
Taryn fox hunts and does a lot of hunter jumper. She is an instructor at Windsor Farm and teaches so many young girls. It is a wonderful barn!
Taryn is very active in animal rescues. She has done one of the best things that she possibly could by giving Jenny a great home and retirement. So many horses aren’t as lucky as Jenny is!
Brynn has definitely inherited her mom’s love of animals!
When we were shooting it was SO DANG WINDY! We battled high gusts of wind during these sets!
I loooooooooooooved that photo of Taryn and Jenny! You can see the love in Taryn’s eyes for her mare!
You can tell that they are close and have that once in a lifetime bond!
Then we add Brynn and everything gets cuter!
Love all the monkeying around!
Taryn is already teaching Brynn what it takes to be a great horsewoman. She is setting such a great example to her!
After we were done, we let Jenny into her pasture and let her eat. Brynn fed her of course. <3
By far my favorite from this session! Isn’t Brynn ADORABLE?!
Sessions like these are always bittersweet, but Taryn and Jenny’s was especially so. They have been together over 20 years and have a deep bond together. It is so wonderful meeting responsible horse owners who not only provide their horse a home, but provide an amazing retirement to live out the rest of their days. The Garrett family is a shining example of that!
