Moments to Memories
Photography
Put your camera away and enjoy the moment!

"All my life I have loved photographs. Whether old or new, complex or simple, posed or unexpected, the very moment in time they capture is of great interest to me.  What is photographed and put to paper will never be seen again like that moment in time.  My goal is to capture these moments, so they may be remembered in the days, years, or decades to come."  Linda K. Toups

NATRC - Sweet Home Alabama - April 29 & 30, 2006

These are photos of Parelli Natural Horsemanship students and their horses as they strove to continue or finish Level 2 of the program.  Licensed 5-Star Premier Instructor, Carol Coppinger, lead the four Savvy days, and I was there for the last two days taking photos of my friend and her success.  If I can't be enjoying the company of a horse, my hands must at least be filled with my camera!  The remaining students were excited about pictures also, and so with the permission of Carol and all the students, I have posted their wonderful pictures here.

First off, it's been over 6 years since I've attended a Parelli Natural Horsemanship event.  Medical issues and two years in Hawaii forestalled my own PNH journey.  I wish for all the students of this clinic to know I had a fantastic time watching you learn and grow, as well as having the chance to submerse myself in something I love and have missed.  I hope all of you enjoy the intimate shots of your relationships with your horses.  To Carol, thanks for the fantastic amount of learning and inspiration.  I will use every bit as I continue on my own return with my horses.  If ever I can have the privilege of photographing again, please let me know!

These photos are my living, please do not right click and take them! 

Please note, I did not come to this event with the intention of taking photos to sell.  Therefore, without permission, these photos are only available to those that participated in the clinic.  If you would like one or more of your photos, I will print them for you at a reduced rate to cover the photographic, printing and mailing costs.  To purchase photo(s) at this time, please email me with the photo number(s) listed next to photos, size desired, and your contact information.  I will email you in return with photo total and payment options.  Purchased photos will not have the obnoxious copyright as shown here on the website.  Thank-you!
