Natural Equine Portraits

Natural portraits are wonderful for capturing the posed and also the candid moments between you and your equine partner. Natural portraits are a great way to document your bond with your horse or be a styled session showing off your horse's good looks and your favorite outfit. Or capture your horses galloping in a pasture or doing liberty work with the Liberty package.

You could dress your horse in your newest matching tack set and have them professionally braided. Or you could wear a flowy dress for some golden hour portraits. Your session could consist entirely of portraits and candid moments of your horse if you choose. Or it could celebrate your marriage or graduation, or include your family and other pets. You can really make natural portrait sessions your own!

$850

Liberty

75+ images in total split between group and individual photos (depending on package) including action shots and candid portraits. Liberty sessions require a safe fenced area for your horses to safely run and play.

Additional fee of $50 per additional horse. 



Two options to choose from:

  1. Group: 30min - 1 hour including up to 6 horses in a group.
  2. Individual: 15 minute individual sessions for up to 4 horses total.

$50 print credit.


$350

Snow Liberty Session


40+ images in total split between group and individual photos (depending on package) including action shots and candid portraits. Liberty sessions require a safe fenced area for your horses to safely run and play.


Due to the cold and snow, I reserve the right to cut a session shorter for safety of the horses and humans, which is why it is a smaller package that includes less horses. Snow sessions also require some extra flexibility and understanding regarding travel, date/time potentially being a more last minute session, and being understanding of horse and human limitations due to weather.


Additional fee of $50 per additional horse. 



Two options to choose from:

  1. Group: 30min - 30 minutes including up to 4 horses in a group.
  2. Individual: 15 minute individual sessions for up to 3 horses total.

$50 print credit.


$300
