Modern Equestrian Shop's Day at Mortgage Hall, Middleburg, VA
A few weeks ago I traveled to Middleburg, VA to meet up with like-minded equestrian business owners at an industry event at Mortgage Hall- a historic manor turned wedding/event venue. I am still on an equestrian high from all of the inspiring people I met!

One of the perks of the event was getting a mini photoshoot session with Georgina Preston. I was intimidated going into it because, let's face it, I built her up in my mind so high that I expected a pretentious artist with no patience for an amateur model. But that could not have been farther from the truth! She is such a lovely and sweet person and she made me feel so comfortable.

Oooh- that moment when Georgina showed me what my headshots were looking like and I kind of freaked out! Turns out I'm not a terrible model after all! Or Georgina is just exceptional.

Turns out her patience and good direction paid off. Here's the final result. What do you think?

One of my blankets even got to have a photoshoot as well, with Marie Roy.

We were visited by the cutest donkey who kept escaping from his pasture to crash our party. And his name was George! Can you believe it?
