info about the shoots
Sessions are photographed outdoors, somewhere where your horse feels comfortable, which is usually around the barn.
Black background images are done in a barn isle or at the barn doors. If you don't have a barn isle or larger covered area but would like black background portraits, please let me know beforehand so we can discuss what options there are.
During the session I will take photos of your horse by him/herself and photos of you with your horse if you've booked the Horse & Human package. We'll discuss everything we do because you know your horse best!
Don't stress or be nervous about whether or not your horse will behave during a shoot. Working with animals is always unpredictable and I have a ton of patience with them. I know horses, I'm around them almost daily, so don't stress, we'll do fine!
I would very strongly advice you to work him or her before the shoot, to get some excess energy out of their system.
Whether you want photos of your horse in tack or not is entirely up to you. Whichever you feel represents your best friend best and we can do both too. You will receive a PDF with info to prepare you and your horse for your session.
I also have a special photoshoot package for Mustang trainers who are training a wild one for a TIP challenge or Extreme Mustang Makeover. This contains 2 shoots during training and one portrait session of you with your Mustang and just the horse at the end of the training process to tell the complete story of your journey with special horse whose life you have changed forever by taking a chance on them and getting them out of the holding pens.
I'd be honoured to create these heirloom pieces with you and for you.
