Christie is my awesome new barnmate at Ingenium Farm in Moorpark, and her horse Luciano is a total dreamboat, so I was incredibly excited to shoot them in a recent sunset session.

Adult amateur rider Maryam is lucky enough to have four handsome geldings, and I was lucky enough to meet them all over two sessions recently!
