Now that we've completely skipped fall and moved onto winter (), here are some of my favorites from Jadyn's 16th birthday shoot. It had me feeling alllll the fall vibes!

Maggie Sue makes 27 years old look good! Our older horses have a special place in our hearts and it's never too late to have a session for and with your friend. @shelleypaulsonphotography . . . #jessicaannaleephotography #EarsUpPhotographers #horsesofinstagram #equinephotography #equineportrait #horses #teamcanon #equine #senior #friendsforlife #goldenyears #goldenpony

Jadyn and Sunny giving me all the fall vibes!

Horses and dogs. Wine and chocolate. Peanut butter and jelly. Just a few things in life that are better together! Whether your dog is working with you or enjoying life at the barn, they need a collar that's easy to clean and comfortable to wear. Inspired by our rescue pup Oliver, OLIVER & ASH delivers a collar that is both! These vegan leather collars are waterproof, lightweight, and extremely durable. Plus there are almost 30 vibrant colors to choose from! Handcrafted in Cal...ifornia, these collars are made to order for the perfect fit. So pick your favorite color (or match your barn colors?!) and enjoy a dog collar that's tough enough for work and pretty enough for the spotlight.

Although I'm sure it's considered business suicide, taking a break from social media for my business this summer was one of the best things I've done for myself in a long time! Not having to think about content, or plan posts, or comment and like on accounts I follow (though I do love to see what people are up to and progress they've made with their horses!!) was so refreshing. Just to enjoy my husband and daughter and dog and connect with friends in person was a true delight. But I wanted you all to know this account is still active and I still love doing shoots with clients. Here's an image I loved capturing for my friend @shelleypaulsonphotography Stay tuned for an exciting announcement next week for all my dog-loving horse owners out there!!

Every time a client hires me to create memorable photos with their horses is special - but when that client is your BFF who was first your mentor and is an awarded equine photographer....well, that ups the special level just a little! And the pressure, lol! Thank you Shelley for trusting me to capture you and your very special girls!

Life is so much better with a friend by your side! Excited to fly out tomorrow and see one of my best friends @spaulson! Her friendship, beautiful Minnesota, and time on her farm refreshes me deeply!! . . .... #jessicaannaleephotography #naturallight #portrait #makeportraits #storyteller #chasinglight #canon #grassvalley #california #twoofakind #matchmadeinheaven #bestfriends #teamwork #partnership #hunterjumper #divine #bff #besthorse See more

Don't mind my quiet IG account, I'm just over here being introverted!

Anyone else feeling these California vibes??

Having a tiny dog makes the risk greater (and makes me more nervous!), but I'm happy to say that Oliver is doing so well around the horses! He LOVES coming out and going for trail rides - it's doggy paradise. Here he is chilling with Luna on this gorgeous spring day, our first (and snowy) trail ride, and following our daughter around the pasture. Horses + dogs = . . . #jessicaannaleephotography #spring #horsesandhounds #puppylove #traildog #pasture #snowventure #sunshine #chill #bff

It's National Puppy Day! Share a favorite photo of your pooch (puppy or not!)!!

The most desired gift of love is not diamonds or roses or chocolate. It is focused attention. Richard Warren ... But maybe it's horses!

For my birthday ride I cantered bareback across a snowy meadow. Perfection! My @arctichorse wool skirt kept me toasty warm. More weather on the way this weekend so I am hunkering down with coffee and a sticky bun from @cakebakeryandcafe
