Equine Fine Art:
Black/White Backgrounds & Natural Portraits

These sessions take place at your barn, ensuring a comfortable, familiar environment for both you and your horse. All we need is a shaded doorway to the barn or arena—no distracting backdrops or bright lights! You’ll hold the lead rope, and using my extensive knowledge of equine behavior, we’ll position your horse to highlight their best features, whether for breed standards, riding disciplines, or simply to capture their unique personality. The images are then artistically retouched, with a custom backdrop added in post-production.

These portraits, often enlarged as Fine Art, become stunning centerpieces for your home, sparking conversation and admiration from all who visit. With their modern yet timeless appeal, they seamlessly complement both rustic and contemporary interiors.

Each session includes complimentary preparation guides for both you and your horse, sneak peeks on social media, and retouched, watermarked, low-resolution digital images within 3 weeks. Fine art prints in various sizes and styles, along with high-resolution, un-watermarked digital images, are available for purchase through your private online gallery. Custom collections can be curated upon request.

If you’d like to be included in the portraits with your horse, consider booking a Horse & Rider Package to accompany your Equine Portrait Session. Those can be located [here].
