Red Mane Creative Co.

I have been designing ads and show programs for over 20 years. It's great when my passion for photography and design collide...and the client is open to doing something very "out of the norm".

Recent ad and photography work for River Grove Ranch in Hailey, Idaho.

...sometimes the magic just happens...the right amount of light, shadows, movement and a moment.

I have had the pleasure to shoot this magnificent stallion many times over the last 6 years in many different scenarios, landscapes, different riders & situations. Unfortunately, this time around, he isn't feeling his best, yet the beauty still found us, and we still managed to find the magic.

This photo wasn't mine to share, until Nicole Brass Horsemanship Nicole Brass wanted to share it, but it is not escaping me that it is also Easter week. I tried 3 different days last week to travel here and had impossible flight delays that made me change my trip to this week, completely missing the snow we had been chasing. Guess we know why now!

Look to the comments to see the series of photos un-edited, straight out of the camera. The only edited one is the black and white. The cross softly moved in and then out of sight of the lense.

The talented Kelly Powers is in town with her camera and the photo shoot that I’d imagined her taking with Suspiro has clearly dissolved in his health crisis

And yet yesterday, Kelly moved softly into his stall in the afternoon light that was shining through to capture a few photos of him while he was standing in all his magnificent glory

As she was scrolling through the photos afterwards, one caught my eye and I remarked that it looked like a cross was hidden in the dapples of his coat

I’m not sure what this means, although it took my breath away and I believe it’s his way of reminding me to keep the faith that the outcome is exactly what it’s meant to be 🤍

When a dusty driveway, the landscapers with blowers & a photographer are all in the same "room" together...sometimes magic happens...
