Horse + Rider Shoot, Oceano Dunes in Pismo Beach, CA


Abby Sanchez & her mare, Poppy, photographed at the Oceano Dunes in Pismo Beach, California. This was another styled shoot that was put on by myself and fellow equine photographer and friend, Jeni Brunner of Jeni Jo Photography. We were also lucky to have Elena Geata with us getting some behind-the-scenes videos. The light during sunrise was absolutely spectacular!
