"I pledge my head to clearer thinking,
my heart to greater loyalty,
my hands to larger service, and
my health to better living,
for my club, my community, my country and my world." - 4-H Pledge
Saturday May 10, 2025 I had a gracious opportunity to photograph the 4-H Open/ Northwestern District Qualifier Show hosted by the Golden Horseshoe Club based out of Frederick County, VA. It was my first official gig as a show photographer, and it was quite the experience that I am forever grateful to be a part of. Everyone did so well and it was a joy to see the teamwork on display between volunteers and show parents. 4-H is such a rewarding program and really sets the new generation of youth for the future instilling community, resilience, compassion, and confidence.
