When contemplating the cover image for Farm Life, I always knew I wanted it to be a cow—the quintessential farm animal. Hazel was covered in the most gorgeous maple gradients and wore her windswept hair like a fashion model in an editorial magazine. Her warm tones and sun-kissed tips are a timeless and charming glamorization of these beautiful creatures that I love, and this portrait is a perfect expression of my work as a photographer focusing on beauty portraits of animals. Hazel gives the viewer so much to take in—from her beautiful Highland textures to her captivating charm to the many ways the light finds and spreads across her features. Her portrait serves as a timeless classic and beautifully honors farm life across the world.
