Sara is my beautiful, wonderful cousin and I can’t believe she’s all grown up! This shoot was probably one of my favorites ever because Sara and I talked about doing it at two places that are very dear to her and to our family.
Every year our family, including grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, friends and whoever else happens to tag along get to go to the Frio River down in Leakey, Texas and just chill by the river. This is such a special time for us to all regroup and just be. Sara is an expert at this as she has mastered the art of simply loving life. We also got to get some shots with her guitar– music is Sara, Sara is music :).
Another thing that is so close to Sara’s heart is riding. So we got up early a couple days later and got some of Sara and the horse she rides, Kinetic. He’s kind of a character, but Sara is so great with him and he’s just gorgeous. I was so honored to be a part of this time of Sara’s life!
