Maggie's Horses

I had the opportunity to photograph these two beauties this summer:

I found myself saying over and over, wow, you are just so gorgeous! (to the horses) 

They are mother and son, Arabians,
who hold a dear spot in the heart of my friend Maggie.

We chose to meet an hour before sunset on the most gorgeous day of the year. 

 Though I must confess I don't know much about horses, I approached this portrait session just as I would if they were people, looking for the spirit, the personality, the beauty, the relationships, the story.  

I believe you can photograph anything that way.

And it really doesn't hurt to have the most beautiful models around!

p.s. I must thank my friend Lelainia (@tatterededge on twitter) for the advice (and blog post) on this project.
