personal | sleigh ride & sugar bush date

I think I will stray aside from photography for a blog post to talk about my amusing morning! I have this obsession with Livingsocial and Groupon - so one day I saw a 'Sleigh Ride thought he Sugar Bush' deal from Pinto Valley Ranch. I was familiar with this stable as I had been there a few times when I was younger to ride ponies in the ring.

I figured as it was $6 each, why not? Cute, cheap date! He loves the winter, I love horses, and we were raised to adore maple syrup. Perfect. We were pulled to the tapped trees, tasted 'sugar water,' then went back to the sugar shack to see where they boiled the syrup - and there they gave us maple taffy on snow! Before and after we adored the animals at the farm - including this cat who just wanted to live life cuddling.

I think my man has been taken by another woman.

Mmmm, maple taffy!

A double photography shoot today, lots accomplished. One again, my lovely Tracy Jeffery Waugh modelling for me! This time for Princess Merida from the movie, Brave. I felt stupid after asking around for a bow, that I never asked my model. I should have just assumed. She is wilderness girl, of course!

Wig from Costume Chik, clothing by Heather Erven.

I think it was this shot that I was stupid to subconsciously walk in front of her like this....

"How do you want me to pose?" "I don't! You're a natural model!"

How does one look so sexy with a bow?

This might be a final diptych? Too many cute shots to choose from.
