Little miss Riata is SO adorable!! We took these pictures a couple months ago, but she is turning 2 today so I figured today was the perfect day to post these! Little miss loves horses. Especially if you give her some grass to feed them or a brush to brush them. She is happiest on a horse, and looked absolutely adorable on Jello the pony with her pretty dress and flower crown. During this shoot, she had some pretty painful sores in her mouth. She was a trooper and let us get some pictures, but I guarantee there will be more coming of her in the future! This orchard in Hyde Park is one of my favorites. It’s a private orchard owned but one of my young women leaders from when I was growing up! Every time I come to this orchard I get a little nostalgic about the neighborhood I grew up in (you can see the house I grew up in from their orchard!)
I’ve taken pictures of Riata a handful of times. She is one of my favorite people to take pictures of (along with her whole family). Her mom, Camille, and I went to college together and have some pretty fun memories! We both showed horses on the IHSA team at USU, so it’s only natural that her daughter is a horse lover! They moved away to Kentucky for work for a while, and I am so glad to have them back!
