Clients love the Equine Portrait Collections, but sometimes upon booking, they aren’t sure which package to choose, the Classic Equine Portraits or the Luxury Equine Portraits. I’m here to help answer questions, and to show you an example of these packages!
What is the biggest difference between the Classic and Luxury Equine Portrait Sessions?
The Classic Portrait Session is 15 minutes long, and provides you with 7 classic poses of your horse, in one tack option (you can choose either a halter, a bridle, or use my photography halter that is edited out in post production, leaving the horse looking “naked”), against your choice of a black or white background. These 7 poses include various head shots, one detail shot, and one full body shot.
This session is perfect for younger horses who are growing, sale photos, or clients who want a smaller collection of images highlighting their horse’s natural beauty.
Here is an example of a Classic Equine Portrait Session.
The Luxury Portrait Session is 30 minutes long, and provides you with 7 classic poses included in the Classic Portrait Sessions PLUS an additional 7+ artistic poses, highlighting your horse’s natural beauty and riding discipline, photographed against your choice of a black or white background. These sessions offer flexibility for multiple tack changers (a halter, a bridle, or use my photography halter that is edited out in post production, leaving the horse looking “naked”), and does include a print credit to kick start your collection of fine art for your home, office, or barn!
The Luxury Portrait Session is perfect for clients who want a much larger collection of images, desire more artistic poses for fine art, or are interested in multiple tack changes.

Here are examples of additional poses captured during Luxury Equine Portraits Sessions, focusing on movement and details such as hooves, brands, braids, ribbons, and tricks your horse may know.

For clients who have more than one horse, and desire photographs of them together…
Complimentary compositions of your horses together are available for clients who book multiple sessions (either the Classic or the Luxury), and available to include dogs (small fee applies for dogs, as composition posing and editing is more extensive.).
Compositions of multiple animals are created from photographing the everyone individually (for safety and to ensure your animals are comfortable enough to show their true personality). Using my background in equine and canine behavior, I choose images that display a realistic conversation through their body language, that matches their personality, to create compositions of horses (and dogs!) in a safe, and elegant manner.

No minimum sessions required!
If you want me to come photograph your horse(s), please don’t hesitate to reach out to reserve a date that works best for you. If fellow friends at your barn want to book for that same date, we can equally divide the travel fee. For 3 or more photoshoots booked for the same date and location, I do offer a $50 discount on each session. (Discounts are only available for Michigan locations.)
However, if you are the only one at your barn currently wants to book, I will still come to spend quality time with you and your horse. ♥️
Prep guides are provided for every client upon booking.
