The Line | Emma

This is a personal session I have been working on, I have been waiting for the leaves to turn their beautiful colors of autumn.  Well, this weekend was it. With wind up to 40 miles an hour, needless to say it added a little difficulty my plans.  With no choice but to shoot since I had no more available weekends and already had a handful of people involved to help.

So on with the story.  My daughter was asking her great Grandmother who is 96  yrs old and (sharp as a tack) about her mother and her mother’s mother.  I have always been interested in genealogy, I guess the apple did not fall far from the tree.   Emma was fascinated to find out her bloodline includes American Indian.  So Grandma told her all she knew.

Thus started our adventure with my visual interpretation.

 

 

 

Thanks to my Mother-in-law Bonnie for loaning her Paint horse (Cookie).  I also am grateful to all of those that helped with this session including my husband who has grown up with horses and is quite the show stopping rider.  So it was not a problem for him to be on horse duty.  He also made the teepee.
My daughter Emma who complained the entire time that is was cold and windy, but never-the-less.. she came through.
My helpers Colleen (my oldest daughter). We have worked so long together,  we barely have to speak.

Dina who has been the newest helper, she is eager to learn and is coming along nicely.  She also managed to have her son  make the stick bow.

My friend Ginger who encouraged me to do this when I shared Emma’s interest in her lineage.

I made the head-piece and I have had the moccasins and boots for years.

The dress is from a costume store and leather hair braids from my MIL.

The blog  board is from EW Couture.

Thank you for stopping by,

Have a great Autumn!
