Growing up I always wanted a horse. I mean, what girl doesn’t? I read a lot of historical fiction and my favorite time period was the mid-1800’s and I would imagine myself riding bareback through the fields with the wind in my hair. So when I get a chance to be around a horse, I am pretty excited but slightly intimidated. Apparently there’s more to it than just “get on and ride.”
Anyways, I know this girl who always wanted horses and now she has them. She takes her little boys to little rodeos and they are so stinkin’ cute. I have been taking her family pictures for the past 2-3 years (she believed in me before I thought I should be believed in, and I am so thankful for that!) and this year she wanted to include their horses. Yes, please!!!
I love that the boys were in their cowboy pants, cowboy shirts, cowboy belts, and cowboy hats. Her shirt was a spin off the old song “Mamas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys.” It made me chuckle and that mama looked adorable in her cowgirl jeans, cowgirl boots, and crocheted cardigan!!
They showed off their horses, ran around their little arena, loved on their mama, and showed off their roping skills. I always enjoy when I go to family’s house and they’re just themselves and I can just capture them being “them.”
