I just have to say that it is very, very exciting to be flipping through the pages of the Miniature Horse World magazine and see these gorgeous ads.....and in the fine print down below, it says "Images by: Lisa Dales." That just thrills me!!!!! LOVE photographing these exquisite animals!

Finally did it!!

I took the plunge and my new camera is on its way!!!! Canon 5D Mark III, baby!!! With the 24-105mm lens! Oh yeah...so excited!!

Class of 2013 - Collin {sneak peek}

Just in case you were wondering if I'm still posting on this blog...I am!

Super quick preview of an awesome senior shoot I did yesterday!

Outside My Box

Just look what happens when I decide to venture out of my safe little "editing-box" and try something creative :)

Hilarious shoot with the F Family {sneak peek}

How can you help but have an awesome shoot when these are some of the shots you walk away with?

This family is downright hilarious. I have laughed out loud looking at some of these. More smiles to come!

This was one of those where I laughed out loud....

My first Christmas present!!!

Without fully knowing why, we took a slight detour off the beaten path and each opened a present last night on Christmas Eve Eve.

The rest of my family got really neat things....new mountain bike, new bling purse, super bright flashlight, coffee mug with family picture on it......but mine was the best!!! (in my opinion)

My wonderful parents bought me the Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens!!!!!!!!!!! (for those of you non-photographers this isn't going to mean anything...just think of the thing you would want the very most)

I am so crazy excited to start shooting with it!!! Look forward to lots of beautiful pictures with deliciously shallow depth of field and yummy bokeh!!

R Family Photos 2012

Yes, I got a little behind on blogging!

We have known this family for about 10 years...they live in our neighborhood, help us train horses, help us with injured horses...pregnant horses....you name it. They are so helpful and willing to share their knowledge and skills at any time of day - or night :) We have been known to call them in the middle of the night with a ripped up horse and they are there in minutes to help.

We did their shoot right in our front yard....enjoy!

They brought along their nephew and his adorable little girl...

I think it should become mandatory that a family should always bring a little one along to a shoot. They lighten the mood and make for fun all around!
