HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
YOUR HORSE IS MORE THAN JUST A HORSE.
They're your partner.
The one who has carried you through good days and bad ones. The one you've spent countless hours with, learned from, laughed with, cried with, and maybe even grown alongside.
Maybe you've had them for years.
Maybe they're brand new to you.
Maybe they're the horse you dreamed about as a kid.
Whatever your story looks like, there's a reason you want photographs of the two of you.
And that's what we're here to capture.
Not just what your horse looks like.
What your horse means to you.
I'll guide you through the entire experience—from preparing for your session to helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera and creating images that feel authentic to the relationship you share.
You don't have to know how to pose.
You don't have to be a model.
And your horse definitely doesn't have to be perfect.
That's my job.
Your job is simply to show up with your horse and be yourselves.
THE EXPERIENCE
Your session begins long before I arrive with my camera.
Once you reserve your date, we'll start planning your session together.
We'll talk about your horse, your relationship, the location, what you'd like to wear, the kinds of images you're dreaming about, and anything you're nervous or excited about.
When we meet for your session, we'll take our time.
I'll guide you through poses and interactions, help you know where to stand and what to do, and watch for those little moments between you and your horse that make your relationship yours.
Because some of the best photographs aren't the perfectly posed ones.
They're the quiet moments.
The forehead touches.
The scratches behind the ears.
The look in their eye when they're looking at you.
The moments where you forget I'm even there.
We'll create space for all of it.
YOUR SESSION RETAINER

Your photography session.

Your private virtual image reveal.

Images are purchased separately after your session so you can see your photographs before deciding what you truly love.
THEN COMES THE FUN PART...
CHOOSING IMAGES THAT FEEL LIKE YOU.
After your session, you'll see your edited photographs during your private image reveal.
This is where you get to slow down, look through your images, and decide which ones you want to keep.
Maybe it's the photograph of your horse looking straight into the camera.
Maybe it's the one where you're laughing together.
Maybe it's the quiet portrait you'll want hanging in your home for the rest of your life.
You get to choose.
Digital images and beautiful printed artwork are available for purchase after your session.
DIGITAL IMAGES
Individual images and collections are available, including the option to purchase your complete gallery.
ARTWORK
Because your favorite photographs deserve more than a place on your phone.
Beautiful printed artwork, albums, and other heirloom products are available if you'd like to turn your photographs into something you can actually see and enjoy every day.
Because let's be honest...
Your horse's photographs deserve better than living forever in a folder on your phone.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT TO INVEST?
Because every client chooses different images and products, your final investment will depend on what you decide to purchase after your session.
Most clients invest between $500 – $6500, with an average investment of $3500.
This may include digital images, artwork, albums, or a combination of the things that mean the most to you.
What you purchase is entirely up to you.
There's no requirement to purchase a certain number of images, and there's no pressure to buy something simply because it's offered.
I'll be there to help you choose the photographs and products that make the most sense for you, your story, and your home.
THIS IS YOUR HORSE.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT.
You don't have to wait until your horse is older.
You don't have to wait until you've lost weight.
You don't have to wait until you've finally mastered that one riding skill.
You don't have to wait until everything is perfect.
Because here's the thing:
Your horse doesn't have to be perfect to be worth remembering.
The crooked mane.
The muddy nose.
The goofy expressions.
The scars.
The gray hairs that weren't there a few years ago.
The way they nudge your shoulder.
The way they look at you.
The little things that nobody else would understand.
Those are the things that make them yours.
And someday, those little things will be the things you miss the most.
I want to create photographs that let you remember them exactly as they were in this season of your life.
Not just the perfect portrait.
The relationship.
The story.
The horse you loved.
