Before Your Session

So, you booked a photoshoot with me! What comes next? Here are a few steps I recommend taking before the day of your shoot.


  1. Tack

When it comes to tack, you have a few different options. Please ensure that all tack is clean and oiled before your session!

  1. Nice halter

2. Bridle without reins

3. Bridle with reins (recommended for bridles with 2 sets of reins, and certain disciplines)

4. Naked Halter (provided by me)


2. Setup and Posing

Black backgrounds are shot in a barn aisleway, indoor arena entryway, etc.

White backgrounds are shot in a shady spot in front of a lighter background

When it comes to posing, I have multiple different objects and sounds available in order to find what works best for your horse. Starting in fall of 2025, I plan on having an assistant at as many shoots as possible to help direct and pose both horse and rider. If that is not possible, I recommend having a friend come who is able to help!


3. Grooming

Your horse should be prepared as if going to a show:

  • Full body groomed, or bathed & dry (weather permitting)

  • Green spots removed

  • Eyes, muzzle, and inside of ears wiped off

  • Hooves polished

  • Mane & tail brushed out and free of any shavings or dirt

  • If clipping your horse, please do so at least 1 week before the shoot

  • If you’re going for a more “show-ready” look, I recommend braiding or plaiting

“My horse cut himself last week, can you edit it out?”

I can edit out:

  • cuts/scars

  • hives

  • yellow stains on grey horses/legs (to a reasonable extent)

  • sunburns

  • sun bleaching on dark horses

I can NOT edit out (or will charge an extra fee):

  • full body mud stains

  • normal bridles/halters (besides naked halters)

  • a horse covered in dirt/still soaking wet


4. Compositions

Compositions are complimentary when booking an equine portrait session for 2 or more animals. Compositions can include horses and dogs, or just horses.

Step 1:

We photograph each animal individually

Step 2:

I create a couple mockups, and you choose your favorites!

And then the magic happens in Photoshop!


After Your Session

1 week after your session, you will receive a proofing gallery to choose your favorite images. Around 3-6 weeks after choosing your images, you will receive an online gallery link to view and download your photos. Your gallery will expire 6 weeks after the delivery date.

Wall Art

Want help with wall art? I can help you envision your photos on your wall using photoshop.

Two framed black and white photographs of white horses with bridles hanging on a wall above a desk. The desk has a small potted plant, a vintage camera, books, and a Marshall speaker.

All of your photos include a personal print release, which means that you can print them at the labs of your choosing. I also work with top quality labs, and offer prints from within your own gallery. So, if you’d like the convenience and quality guarantee that I can offer, go ahead and check out the print options within your gallery!


Do you feel prepared for your session?

If the answer is no, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!

I’m looking forward to meeting you and capturing creative portraits of your horse!
