New Name, Same Game

Not sure who reads this blog, but it's been A VERY LONG TIME since I've updated it. I'd like to try to start doing a weekly update, if nothing else at least every couple weeks. In case you didn't notice, I did change the name to reflect my new business venture. I went from BEAD Photography to Ashley Blegen Photography. BEAD stood for Blegen Elizabeth Ashley DeBoer, basically my initials. I've decided to start charging for my work, so to make everything as simple as possible, my business is just simply called Ashley Blegen Photography. Catchy, right?

Anyways, here's a few photos from my first paying jig.

Stay tuned for more photos in the future. I've got a benefit show I'm photographing this weekend. So I hope to have a nice turnout there.


 

Hoar Frost

Today, like I mentioned in the previous post, we had amazing hoar frost. The frost lasted til nearly 3:00pm. It was amazing ... and a great photo opportunity.

Here's some shots that are not equine-related.

Meet the Kerkvliets

Today I managed to snap some fabulous shots (least I think so ... and I don't like doing standing photography ie portraits) of Laura and Josh and their three ponies, Gernonimo, Ty and DaVinci.

So, without further ado, here's a few of the better photos.

Had to include this one ... check out Ty's tongue.

The hoar frost was amazing today ... it lasted until about 3pm. Made for AMAZING photos.

Thank you so much Laura and Josh for letting me photo your "ponies". They were so well behaved.

Trees

I just has to share a couple photos I took of a tree in the pasture next to Gringo. Was was out to the barn early Thursday morning and managed to capture some neat shots of this tree. Photos were taken with my cell photo's camera, so definitely not anything extraordinary... but I was pleased, nonetheless.

I'm actually thinking about getting the photo blown up. Or having my SIL's boyfriend do a painting of it. I've been trying to find a photo to put in either our living room or dining room and I'm having the hardest time finding what exactly what I want. I know I want some sort of nature scene, more photographic in nature versus a print. So, we'll see. 

Angel

So today was another photop out at Rocking R Farm. It was another windy, cold day out and conditions were less then ideal. This was to be my fourth and final photop out at the barn... yet it was the only day were I managed to get half way decent photos. Angel, a young Thoroughbred gelding, was my only subject for the day, along with his owner Mary.

Here's a few of the photos I managed to capture of Angel.

I was so please with myself. I finally managed to figure out some more editing tools! Whohoo! Anways, here's the link to the rest of the album.
