Why you need to have fine art portraits of your horse!

Horse girls need hardly any convincing to book a horse and rider session, a 99th photo of me kissing my horses nose, COUNT ME IN! And I’m all with you there, horse & rider portraits will forever have the #1 spot in my heart and I delight at telling the magical story between a person and their heart horse. But today I want you to put aside your love for horse and rider portriats and take a minute to think about why you might need to consider booking a fine art session.

We focus on just your horse

These sessions may be short but they are extremely focused on just one thing, your horse. No two sessions are exactly alike and I take the time to tailor poses to make your horse look the absolute best they possibly can be. Plus, you get to save the time and effort of getting yourself ready for the photos and just worry about your horse. Bathing them might not be your favourite thing in the world but I bet it is easier than spending hours picking an outfit from your closet!

They are truly timeless

These images freeze a moment in time and they will not age. You won’t look back in 20 years and regret the hairstyle or outfit choice, all you will see is your beautiful equine partner, looking their absolute best and while it might feel like a lifetime ago, it will look like it was taken yesterday.

We can focus on all the details that mean the most to you

While you might think that black background sessions are posed and un-sentimental and only good for capturing excellent sale pictures, it is actually quite the opposite, especially if you book the P{Art}nership package. I take the time to capture the things that you love most about your horse, their soft nose, that unique marking on their flank, the way their dapples decorate their coat, their mane which has always been there for you to cry into when you need it, their soft eye which has gazed into yours with trust. While we may be capturing the things that you can physically see, what is really being immortalized in these images is a feeling of love for this animal. Each hair that has created this beautiful creature will be captured.

They make the most beautiful pieces of art

If you are wanting to have your horse displayed as art in your home, a fine art session is an absolute must! Working with your horse we will create stunning works of art that are perfect for hanging around your home. Equine portrait sessions seek to remove all the distractions that exist and focus only on one thing ; your horse. There is hardly a better way to express the beauty of this incredible animal.

One day it will be too late

While I know none of us like to think about it, one day our equine partners will cross the rainbow bridge. While I think it is incredibly important to have images that capture the bond you shared, I also see the importance in having a keepsake of images dedicated to just your horse. Images that are so pure and timeless that looking at them you feel you can almost reach out and stroke them, breath in that delightful horsey smell and hear their unique nicker. They won’t be around forever, so please immortalize them while you still can, because one day images and a lock of their tail will be all you have left.
