Equine Photography

Just to be in the presence of horses is intoxicating and thrilling, and if I lived in a perfect world, all my clients would love equine photography as much as I do.  Posing with a horse is always a challenge but working with Brittany, Chester and Reid we found the perfect combination of silly sounds to keep Chester engaged, ears and head at the right angle and Brittany holding a perfect smile the entire time to get this beautiful shot featured in the Go Horse Show Magazine this month. 
Best of luck to this team in all their up coming shows and competition!

Magazine Cover Shoot

Congratulations to Brittany Boyd and her horse Don't Skip My Charms, best known as Chester!  They are featured on the March 2010 cover of "GoMag" photography by Annette McPherson.  


One of my favorite places to shoot is the beach, working with Brittany is always exciting given she brings a horse or two into the equation.   It didn't take the trainer long to assure Chester the beach was a fun place and we were able to capture some incredible moments just before sunset.

Playing for Change

Art is one of the few universal languages. It can bring us together, make us laugh, make us cry, and sometimes it can change the world. Just as we show the beauty of the world around us through visual art, there is a group trying to bring the world together through music. The project "Playing for Change" brings together artists and performers from around the world on the streets of the cities they are from to record beautiful music. Their founder describes it thus:
"Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world."

Here is the result of their work:

Visit playingforchange.com to find out how you can get involved.

To show our support, anyone who supports Playing for Change by donating or buying PFC merchandise will get a free session at Annette McPherson Photography. Call us to schedule your appointment. Lets change the world, one smile at a time.

Lego the Stress, and Play Well! I want to play too!

Anyone getting busy, Tis the Season, don't let the turkey's make you crazy in all the chaos.  The last thing any of us need right now is more stress.  I was watching TV tonight and was so inspired by something so simple...remember Legos the plastic little bricks that would allow us to create anything we could image.  Those same little pieces that would get scattered on the floor and hurt you back when met on a midnight run to the fridge with the bare foot.  Isn't there a song to go with that dance, "barefootin" the dance starts out   with a choice word, pulling up one foot, jumpin around on the other leg, spinning and swearing cause you now have at least 4 tiny indents that hurt really bad. As a parent I would throw them right in the trash, (ask my kids and I'm not sure they would remember this toy in our home) and year after year I would buy them a new set and put it under the tree.
Legos are an important part of our past and future, how did the Lego shape our world?  Who knows. how many adults are who they became because of the Lego?  It could be millions...did you know that the word Lego means "play well."  I love it and so now I would like to capture the magic.  If you love Legos and have a set or two I want to talk to you, I have an idea, let's talk!

Trash The Dress! Any Volunteers?

I am all about new ideas and creativity. I think that posing for pictures is great, but why not set up a fun situation and getting pictures of what happens in that situation? The newest trend in Bridal Portraits is now coming over the horizon and I am totally in love with this idea! It is called a Trash the Dress session. Watch this link and tell me what you think! It is a bit from the Today show that highlights the popularity of this new trend!
