i did arielle’s session on their property where she keeps her horse, tacoma. they have a great relationship and he’s such a calm horse. i’m not around them often, but i’ve never seen such a chilaxed horse before. 
a white speckled horse? how cool.
haha. i was jogging along side of them, not looking through the view finder as i shot. didn’t mean to decapitate you dear, but the image is pretty cool.
love your outfit. that color looks amazing on you.
generally i’m wandering around on private property using strangers barns. it was a nice change to take my time and not be worried about the owners comin’ out with their shotguns. ha!
beautiful. 
i haven’t know arielle as long as some of my other soccer gals but for the few years she did play for me, it sure was awesome. we called her “monster” for obvious reasons. she was our sweeper and most definitely a badass one at that. she definitely held our defensive line together and was always on her game. the best part about how strong of a player she was, is that she is so dang sweet and quiet off the field! all my girls were really! it’s always a pleasure to see you lady. good luck this year and if you become a Dr. like all your other siblings, you will be so successful!
heart, melanie.
woooork. it. out. girlfriend!!
your eyes pull me in so quick! so pretty!
she’s laughing because we were 100% trespassing in some crack house’s backyard. we ran over to use their barn and a guard dog ran at us. i had to talk down the dog who was especially fired up protecting her little pups just behind her. thankfully no one was home.
every now and then the wind cooperates for me! love it.
jordan had a hard time finding shoes to wear with her outfits because all she wears are toms, gym shoes and chucks. this is why i love her. 
just as we were wrapping up, this creep asked to be in a photo. well by asking i mean, he jumped in and smiled, then said, “hey can i be in a photo! can you email me that file? i’ll give you my address.” my reply, “ummm yaaa, no sir, that’s a bit strange. but have a nice night.”
i’m glad i got to spend some QT with you jordan. i had a really good time. you quickly became an adult before our eyes and being with you proved how mature you’ve become. i hope you chose a school in cincy next year and then you can come

she was done with standing still about the second we put her on the blanket. i decided to just let her chase me all over. 
after a bath in the water fountain, we played on the swings. buuuut she could barely stay awake so that was that!
