Celebrating Teens

I have really been looking forward to this week’s photo challenge at I ♥ Faces especially since I just did my first senior portrait session just over a week ago.  I made a deal with my friend to do her daughter’s pictures so I could practice, and hopefully she’d end up with some shots she really liked.
I can not even describe how much fun we had!
When I started thinking about locations, I remembered something April said when she was around 10 years old.  I had asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, and she answered, “I’m going to train horses, and marry a horse rancher.”    Her occupation ideas have changed over the years, as ideas often do, and I don’t know how her current beau feels about horses'.  But I still have this picture of her in my head.  There’s a stable near my house, so I told her to be sure to bring some cowboy boots along with her other changes of clothes.  This was my favorite shot of the day:

I think the result was pretty great.  If I do say so myself  ;)
