I remember the first time I met Olivia and Mickenzie! They were these itty bitty shy little girls (along with Olivia’s twin Sophia!) who rode the ponies at the barn I boarded Trudy at. Like every horse crazy girl, (and this family had three!) they wanted a horse so bad – and their parents finally caved! Several years into riding, the Wettles owned a property with their own barn and several horses. Being “horse crazy” was not just a “phase” for these girls!

I have watched them grow up at the barn from learning how to trot to winning championship in their hunter divisions. And now they are in COLLEGE and doing amazing things – including making me feel really old! I STILL have a drawing Olivia drew of Trudy hanging in my tack box! I am so grateful to have met the Wettle family through our barn family.

AND I’m so glad Olivia and Mickenzie agreed to help me test out my new camera last summer when I was in Ohio! This sunflower field was the perfect place to play around and have some fun! I have SO many favorites from their session but here’s just a few!
