Kat+Ian {Malibu Horse Ranch}

I think this photo shoot with Kat + Ian in Malibu, CA will always be etched in my memory as one of the best things I’ve ever done!  Looking back, I’m not sure how I did it because they were both on horses…and I was not. :)  It was A LOT of work running after them and chasing the beautiful light, but in the end…I treasured every moment and couldn’t get enough of this place.  Nothing beats Malibu at sunset!  God is good and I’m thankful He put Kat and Ian on my path.  I don’t think I could have done something like this without COMPLETE and radical trust from both parties. Love these two.
