My youngest great-niece, Kennedy, is growing up...as children tend to do! She is 10 years old, and this year has been a big one for her. She finished fourth grade, joined 4-H and raised, exhibited, and sold her lamb "Lane" at the Eastern Oregon Livestock show. She also began riding in rodeo playdays in earnest, even moving from her faithful 25-year-old "Easy" horse to a new young gelding from Montana that she named "Diamond." I grew up riding horses, and I love seeing how much Kennedy has grown as a rider in just a year. Recently, I photographed Kennedy and Diamond at a local playday and edited the images with a watercolor texture.

I really like what you've done with these! You've turned great pictures into even better portraits that she will treasure always.
Evelyn, these are just wonderful - what a keepsake for her. My granddaughter was so interested in horses from about age 5-13. She rode and took jumping lessons at a local stable. However, high school and other commitments kept her from continuing. (She doesn't live on a farm and didn't own a horse, though she mostly rode the same one).
Fantastic!
