A Rodeo Princess & Her Handsome Horse | Oregon Senior Photographer, Kari Rae Photography

This session has been a long time comin'.... Rebeckah and I have been chatting and dreaming about it for months, and I'm thrilled to be creating this post! Beckah is a 2013 Senior, and although she already had senior photos taken, her desire was to have a special shoot with her gorgeous boy Jet. And it was made extra special because she is a real-life princess with him! Beckah was crowned a 2013 Interstate Rodeo Princess.... exactly 60 years after her grandmother was given the title of Rodeo Queen in Molalla.

The beautiful purple western shirt we started the shoot in belonged to her grandmother. And they were sure to order some extra products of these images just to give to grandma. :)

Okay. Enough from me.

ENJOY this beauty!!!

Oh! And check out these first 3 images. Look at their feet. So IN SYNC!! I love ittt! What a team.

Behind the Scenes - Portland Senior Photographer | Kari Rae Photography

Yesterday was amazing. I can't believe how blessed I was/am to work with such an incredibly talented and beautiful team of women (and one man; my handsome husband!) 13 Senior Models. 10 Hours. 6 Hair & Makeup Stylists. 2 Locations. 1 Wardrobe Stylist. 2 Assistants. 2 Horse Owners willing to share. 1 Hospitality Specialist ;) 1 Videographer. 1 Handsome husband with a camera. 1 Me.

You put them all together and what do you get? Apparently magic.

I'm still smiling...still in awe...still so thankful for the day that God provided us! It was unexpectedly freeeezing out, but the girls handled it like champs and the light and weather were actually PERFECT for the visions behind the shoots.

My oh my, I'm so excited to work on all of these images! But for now, some sneak peeks and behind-the-scenes images to how it all happened...

Video to come soon! :)

As soon as we were done, the horses did a valiant lap around the pasture... they were celebrating with us! (My husband captured these last two shots...LOVE the motion!)
