My new Friesian filly, Mirabella is on her way here! I have her stall all ready for her… <3 Mirabella is Willow's baby cousin... I've blogged more at the Velvet Willow Blog. Edited with Classic Workflow (Classic Color + 1968 & Pastel Haze) and color block & lace from the Color Matte & Design Kit)) Florabella Photoshop Actions   
It snowed here in Tennessee! Sasha had so much fun playing in the snow!
When the light is right, the location doesn’t matter… Here, she’s sitting in the barn garage. Looked good in color, but I couldn’t stop myself from converting it b/c in my mind the B/W hid the not so pretty background. I had wanted to photograph her on my horse wearing this fur vest, but she didn’t want to. So while we groomed the horses, she sat in the back near the barn garage and played with her little horse toy… I couldn’t help but snap this while she wasn’t looking. Edited with Colorplay Actions: Clean Base + Dramarama & a little Definition Palette
Do you get excited when you realize you’ve captured your reflection in your subject’s eyes? (I do!) And it’s much easier w/ large horse eyes and good barn light! ? Editing here is the new Colorplay actions… here I used the Recipe Maker (so easy and fun)… this was a combo of: Clean Base + Peace 100%, Ocean Air 35%, Alabaster 25% and Berry Wine at 80%
I love the Kwanzan Cherry Blossom Trees that grow here in Tennessee! Edited with Perfect Color + Ocean Air + Matte Toner from the Florabella Colorplay Actions set.
“Just one picture, Mommy. Just ONE.” Out by the barn in her nightgown, rainboots & messy hair… she cracks me up. ? Edited with Colorplay Actions: Subtle Color (as the base) + Brownish 43% + Sorbet at 85%
Reunited. ? It’s been 10 days since my husband fell while riding my sweet horse Paloma. While in the hospital with 5 broken ribs, he called me (in tears) worried about her… worried that she was upset and worried about him. Yesterday, the vet came to see Paloma, and Michael slowly walked out to the barn and into the stall next to her. She went right to him. He smiled at her and called her swe As for the processing… super quick… Clean Base (with B/W turned on) from the Colorplay Actions set. No tweaks… then placed Light/Sunflare Overlay #17 on “Overlay” blending mode at 40%. The barn window as blown out (midday) so the soft light stream softened the image with just enough hazy light from the window. Sometimes a little goes a long way. Video tutorial on them here: http://www.florabellacollection.com/video-tutorial-light-and-sunflare-overlays.html And Thanks to everyone who has been concerned about m husband and Paloma… as you can see, both are recovering nicely.
My husband took a bad fall off of my horse Paloma… as he lay on the ground not moving, Paloma stood by him for a long while before she finally ran back to get help. After a 911 call, an ambulance ride, and hospital stay, my husband is home in much pain with 5 broken ribs. Upon telling my daughter Sophie Lu about his broken ribs, she replied, “Oh, Mama… it’s a good thing he had those ribs. Otherwise, when he fell off Paloma he might have broken his heart. I’m so glad Daddy didn’t break his heart.” I am so so blessed… not only that my husband is alive, but also that I have the sweetest daughter and horse in the world. ?
Because flowers aren’t just for eating. Our barn is almost done… just needs to be white washed… I’m so excited! Edited with Florabella Classic Color + Hazy Teal 15%, Soft Pink Haze at 30%, and Peach Haze at 15%
Love how a good crop can entirely change the direction of an image. Florabella Actions: Classic Color + Yellow Out Brush + Vintage Clouds overlay

Horse + Kitty = Love. Imagine my excitement when my trainer Martha sent me this photo she took w/ her phone of Paloma & her barn cat Oliver!! Just when I was about to fly home because I missed her so much. She is just the most loving horse… glad to see she is making friends while I’m away. ? (quickly edited w/ Classic Color + 1968 + Noise Removal from Classic Worfklow and then the new Color Matte Actions).
Processed with Florabella Photoshop Actions: Classic Color + Add Some Drama from the Classic Workflow Actions set.
