add horses to your session

add-on to your package

Incorporate the elegance and grace of a horse into your senior photos to create a truly unforgettable and unique session. Posing with a horse adds a touch of natural beauty and a sense of adventure to your portraits, making them stand out with a timeless, equestrian charm. Whether you have a beloved horse of your own or we arrange for one, this experience will add depth and character to your senior photos, highlighting your connection to these majestic animals.

During your session, we will focus on capturing the serene and powerful equine connection.  Rather than riding, you will pose alongside the horse in a variety of settings, from lush fields to rustic barns, allowing for a range of stunning backdrops. This approach ensures that the horse complements your presence without overshadowing it, resulting in portraits that are both beautiful and deeply personal.

I believe that every photography session should be as unique as the individuals we capture.  Combining technical expertise with a deep understanding of artistic storytelling, our goal is to provide you with an unforgettable experience that results in stunning, personalized images you'll cherish forever.
