A Lovely Lady, Her Horses and Her Dog - {Marty's Corvallis, Montana Portrait Session}

I got a note all the way back in December from Emily who was so excited to surprise her twin sister Marty with a Christmas present of a portrait session for her and her four-legged friends, Patches and Cricket, her two horses, and Pele, her trusty dog. Patches and Pele are getting up there in years, so this was especially meaningful for Marty.

And it was such a pleasure to photograph this session for Marty and her very well-loved animals. As it turns out, Patches likes to “work it” for the camera (I swear, she struck a few poses for me), and Cricket…well, she’ll put up with the shoot, but she gave us some pretty hilarious expressions, which had us both cracking up. Pele is such a sweetie, though a little camera shy, but you can see how much she loves Marty.

Marty – this was such a treat to document how much love you have for your animals – I’m a big believer in the great joy they can bring to our lives, so to be able to capture this for you was super special. I hope you had a safe trip to Jackson! :)
