Sunday evening I met up with the Volden’s at their farm. Marc’s oldest son is a senior and Marc and Lori just had a son this winter (now 5 months old). The 5/6/7 month age is one of my favorite ages to photograh, and then I think seniors are probably my second favorite. I was pretty delighted at the age combination, not to mention the farm location! You know I love farms.
I definitely wasn’t disappointed!
The wind picked up a bit just when I took this shot. I think he looks like a rock star! 🙂
I forgot to mention Marc’s other child, Haley (I hope I spelled that right!), the cutest Border Collie/Lab mix.
Another member of their family is Leo the rooster. Leo has quite the history. He actually went missing for a year and returned with no feathers. I guess only Leo knows what happened.
And, finally (but DEFINITELY not least) are Lori’s Percherons. She has 11 total! She said they are like “potato chips.” I think I feel the same way about lenses.
Lori actually does carriage rides for weddings and other events with her horses.
You can find out more about Lori’s business and horses, as well as a ton of information about their farm on their web site: Olson Century Farm.
I really enjoyed visiting with this family. This session is definitely what I imagined when I started up this business. I love that I am able to come to people’s homes, especially when it is someplace with so much history and a place that is loved so much. You definitely can’t get this in a studio!
Thanks, guys for inviting me. I’ll come back anytime! 🙂
