Keylee Jacob's Senior Session at The Ranch in Dixon

Hello!!! my name is D.J. and I am Rose's Husband (I can not say better half, for those of you who know Rose, she is a tough act to top!) I went to this session with Rose out on a farm - If you want to remember how America was built - spend some time on a farm with people who know how to work it!!! It was a beautiful day and as we drove down the dirt road to the location - we were surrounded with beautiful trees and pastures full of livestock on one side and a field being prepared for planting on the other, the sights and sounds reminded me of home. After we got to the location Rose was drawn to the horses as she has owned some in the past and absolutely LOVES Animals!!!!!!

We were greeted by the family and I could not help but notice our subject to be photographed (Keylee) was working on her steer calf. We started the shoot discussing the lighting and backgrounds and Rose getting her plan of attack ...... soon we were heading down the road ....calf in hand..... shooting away!

The entire shoot went amazing as this entire family is a hard working American family and we were in there realm. I have had the pleasure of meeting Kevin and Becky before and both of there girls Keylee and Kassie are strong and beautiful people. about 1/2 way through the shoot Kevin asks Rose if she wants to ride one of the horses.... that was a question even a newbie like myself could have answered for her.... YES! and away they went.... then Kevin puts Rose on his other Horse and a few moments later from behind the barn I hear Rose calling for me.... SO EXCITED!!!!! she wants to show me a trick Kevin showed her on his horse..... so she gallops in a circle and picks up some speed.... then .... pulls back on the bit and the horse skids to a stop!!!! it was awesome..... it had been some time since she had last ridden but she looked so at home up there in the saddle...then she decides to try again....... builds up speed....pulls back and .... OOOOOPS her foot slips out of the stirrup and she is sliding off the horse.... BUT!!!!! the horse stops.... she gets a little help to put her foot back in and she is good to go!

As we concluded the session everyone is getting hungry so we decided to go to Chevy's resteraunt for some cold drinks and great food with a great group of friends. Thank you Kevin and family for dinner and a great time, as you can see your session turned out amazing!!!
