The first half of Kati and Lex’s session was a non-snow session–even though, yes, she is supposed to be in the snow. We have a split session! {Why?} Here’s hoping for snow…maybe even this weekend!
While we’re all waiting on snow, ya’ll need to stop by Kati’s blog and see what she’s doing over there. She talks about God, life, and horses, and I even saw some sweets she was baking there too– and we all know how I feel about those!! Not to mention, Kati is an insightful and candid writer!
Thanks, Kati (and Lex) and to the best 2 assistants (Holly and Kristen) ever!!! Get ready for round 2! But for now… view more images here!!
It is possible that you may be a little confused seeing tid-bits of Kati and Lex here and there on the blog and on facebook. It isn’t unreasonable to think, “wait a second… she is the “SNOW model” and there is no snow?” LOL. We decided to split up the model session for them to make best use of the available light and get everything we need to get in accomplished. SO!! You will be seeing more of these two (we hope…start praying for snow to stick!!), but here’s a sneak peak at their first 1/2 session.
more of this first half will be on the blog later this week!!
As we’re all gearing up for the season, my head is swirling with fresh and new ideas! So this is an official call for snow-loving equestrians. That’s right, I’m ready for a model to try out some of these new ideas and THIS is your opportunity!
What it includes:
- if your application is accepted, (we can only choose one) you will have a creative session on the house (a $189 value) and (1) masonite mounted 11×14 sized print of your choice (a $224 value).
-you will be eligible to purchase additional prints if you’d like at a discounted price.
-(this is NOT a regular creative session. These are model images for the artist).
To be eligible you must:
- sign a model release (as usual)
- have a horse
- have a QUIET horse
- be ready and willing to get out with said horse in the snow at your farm for as long as it takes to get the shot (hopefully not much longer than 1hour depending on your horse).
- be open to trying new things aligning with the interpretation of the artist (that’s moi).
- be open to wardrobe and styling suggestions
- be mobile and flexible with the weather (we will be planning according to it). Once snow is on the radar, we will begin making our plans!
To apply:
please send your name, address, phone number and small photo of yourself and your horse AS WELL AS a small photo of your farm (no worries, you don’t need anything fancy– even a camera phone will do) to info@priddysweet.com. Subject line: SNOW MODEL. Also include a few sentences about you, your horse, and your farm and why you think you’d be a great candidate for the snow model.
Applications are on a first come-first serve basis for approval so don’t delay. Once your application is accepted, we will communicate all further details!
This year has been awesome. Amazing. An experience. And I can’t thank you all enough for your support, encouragement and true admiration of my incredibly hard work. It is such an honor to see my art in your homes! I look around as I sit here at my desk, on the last day of this almost too fast first year and I am teary-eyed. Your faces are on my walls. Your memories are held in MY heart as well as your own. Your lives have so greatly touched mine that I can’t leave them hidden on an external hard drive back in 2010… they’re coming along with me into this new year. As I sit here, there is beauty all around me. Your faces, your families, your relationships, your horses.. all just beautiful. I am so blessed. So very, VERY blessed.
So here they are. Here WE are. While you all know it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to pick favorites (its like choosing between my children), I did narrow them down to a few. Thank you, EACH of you… for a most amazing 2010. As we go forward I’m confident that 2011 will be just as incredible. I can’t WAIT for the next series of experiences to unfold!! Happy NEW YEAR to you all!!! Life IS sweet, and I’m so GLAD we’re savoring it!!
