Sarah Wheeler’s Senior Portraits at Dancing Horse Farm
It was fun to create portraits of Sarah with her horse for her senior portraits at Dancing Horse Farm near Lebanon, Ohio (only about a half hour from where I am based in Germantown, Ohio near Dayton, Ohio). Her mom and her little sister helped some with getting ears up. When shooting horses sometimes the most difficult thing is to get the horses attention. In this case, I think that Sarah’s arms were very tired from pulling his head up out of the beautiful green grass. I’ve done several sessions at Dancing Horse Farm including portraits like these as well as action photography of horses under saddle doing dressage. Here are some pictures of Sarah with her horse, but the last two portraits are her little sister who had been jumping around behind me to get the attention of the horse. I was able to sneak the shots before she could turn away. I think they are very cute. Sarah is in love with her horse and it shows in how she looks at him and leans into him for some of the portraits. I think everyone had a wonderful time and I think they are having a very difficult time not buying everything they see. Should I just show 20 images and make it easier for my clients to choose? I think not. I will just continue to make them work hard selecting their favorites.
Hey, are you taking pictures of ME? I was able to take several candid portraits before she turned away. How cute is this? To see more portraits from Sarah Wheeler’s senior portrait sessions go to Sarah Wheeler. As a senior portrait photographer and an equine photographer I truely enjoy bringing both of those areas into one portrait. For truely unique senior portraits, wouldn’t you love to have your senior portraits with your cherished riding companion?

Wow, beautiful! Love the one where she is walking with him!
Pics are beautiful. Hard to figure out which one will be best for framing.

Great pictures especially #1 where you captured a great profile of a very beautiful young woman. The 2nd picture of Emily says it all about her personality.

Awesome pictures! Always interesting working with animals (and teen-agers)

I love these pictures. They are so pretty. Nice shots!
These photos are wonderful, I especially like the one walking toward the camera.
I love the first picture of Sarah looking at Riley(somehow romantic). Love Emily’s smile very well captured. All in all great job Peter!
All these pictures are great! They really capture the feeling of how natural the relationship is between Sarah and Riley.
I loved these pictures. The pictures of Sarah with her horse were beautiful and did pick up the affection she has for Reilly. And, of course the two of Emily–you managed to catch a lovely pose with straight face but the one with her serious look and hands on her hip was priceless–and so much like her. This is the look she is famous for. My comments may be biased as I am their “Nana”!!!!
Great shots – I vote #2
Great pictures. No surprise with such a great subject.
What fantastic photos of natural beauty!
I think the first of Sarah and the last of Emily
capture their true essence. Beautiful!
Amazing photos of my amazing daughters.
I think that the picture of Sarah walking with Riley shows off the horse and Sarah best! All of the pictures are beautiful.
What great shots! I especially like picture #2, they are so comfortable with each other. And the last pictures of Emily are so adorable, what a ham!
What gorgeous pictures, no wonder Nana so proud
Beautiful girl, pony and setting. Super job to all involved!
