I had spent an entire week out of town photographing planes, eagles, and many other fun shoot my heart out places in Alaska, but it wasn't horses, or animals, or people (people in planes doesn't count!) and I was so excited to go photograph Alyssa!
I was so happy to meet Alyssa and her horse Amira, her and her two fantastic high energy dogs Willow and Hazel. Her two dogs were so full of energy and her horse was a little peeved she had to get dolled up for photos, but they all stole the show soon enough.
One thing for sure, Alyssa has one of the kindest souls I have ever encountered! And for how gentle she is you would be surprised what she does for her job? A farrier! Yep! She works under horses, and trust me, that isn't a task for the faint of heart.
