Manitoba Cowgirl A Dazzling Delight

I had the great pleasure and incredible luck to find the woman who is the story, behind this Manitoba Cowgirl A Dazzling Delight photography session. It was one of those shoots where everything went right - and I could do no wrong. Definitely love those scenarios when they come up.

I happened to meet this "True Cowgirl" by way of a Facebook request, where I was looking for some models that lived in and around Ste. Anne, MB. The Lovely "Lorraine" answered my ad - and it was a great connection right from the start. I should also mention that this gal has not modelled before - which was fine by me. I was really just looking for a Positive Upbeat girl who I could rely upon to be professional. I scored a 10 out of 10 on my checklist!

The setting for this Manitoba Cowgirl A Dazzling Delight session was at Lorraine's parent's farm out near Richer.

It turned out to be Perfect Weather - and a Perfect Location.

The first part of our shoot took place outdoors, in and around the horse corral.

I can't recall the names of all the horses - but they were very friendly and cooperative.

Prior to the session, we discussed wardrobe - including colours and styling.

I pay a lot of attention to detail - which I think goes a long way to making the final images look amazing.

I have to give a HUGE "THANK YOU" to Lorraine's sister "Sherry".

She held the lighting stand for the outdoor portion of the shoot - and as a bonus - she was super funny and entertaining during the entire set.

Once the first outdoor set was done - we then set up inside the old barn.

When I saw the inside of this barn - I knew I had the Perfect setting.

I loved the bare bulb lighting on the ceiling - and the barn had a beautiful atmosphere to it.

We decided to start off with some sexier looking poses for our interior location.

Lorraine was absolutely fabulous. The camera lens totally loves her - as you can see.

We went through a variety of fun poses and ideas through this Manitoba Cowgirl A Dazzling Delight session.

Lorraine was great in giving a variety of expressions that wanted for each shot.

Almost all of these images (including the ones outside) were shot using professional studio strobe lighting balanced with the ambient light.

I am Nationally Accredited with the PPOC (Professional Photographers Of Canada) in both Studio Lighting and Environmental Lighting - which has a lot to do with the quality of all the photos.

Big Sister Sherry saw how amazing Lorraine was doing in her shoot - and suggested we try a few Cowgirl Boudoir shots.

Lorraine was feeling very confident at this point and agreed to pose.

We kept it fairly tame - and they still turned out so well.

This part was unplanned - so luckily Lorraine happened to be wearing something that worked for the shoot.

After we put the "flames out" on this Hot portion of the shoot - we went back outside for a few more Corral shots.

These last images were photographed differently than the first set of outdoor images.

These were all done without a studio strobe - instead using the Sun as the "Key Light".

Shadows are harsher - but it gives a more editorial look to them.

Lorraine is definitely a TRUE COWGIRL in every sense of the word.

That's what makes this session perfectly titled - Manitoba Cowgirl A Dazzling Delight.

She knows her way around a horse - demonstrating some amazing riding and handling abilities.

The horses obviously trust her as well - as you can see by some of the following images.

I also included a couple of B&W edits just for a different creative look.

I have to say that this has been one of my top favourite shoots for 2021.

I loved how all the images turned out so well.

I also had the amazing experience of hanging out with Lorraine and Sherry for the afternoon.

Wonderful people - they are both a Dazzling Delight!

That concludes this Manitoba Cowgirl A Dazzling Delight blog posting.

I don't think I've ever had so many images from a session that "I just had to edit".
