I was awed and honored to be able to photograph the best Christmas gift EVER yesterday when my BFF and her family surprised one of her daughters with an early present! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was photographing Kelsey with Leo for what she thought would be the last time she rode him because he had been sold. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are a few of my faves, along with the series of her reaction when her family unveiled the surprise to her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side note: Leo\u2019s show name is \u201cWildest Dream\u201d. Best Christmas ever ! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a> Two souls connected<\/p>\n\n\n
