FAQ
How long do photoshoots take?
It's safe to set aside one to two hours for our shoot with up to two horses, and 30 minutes more for each additional horse. I’ll arrive 15-30 minutes before your photoshoot begins to take a quick look around your location and make a plan. Be sure that you and your horse are ready on time, so that we can take maximum advantage of the natural light.
What should I wear?
The short answer is – something you’re comfortable in! Riding clothes and casual streetwear both work well. I find that color in lighter shades often compliment your horse’s coat color better than strong, bright colors, and you can click over to my horse + rider portfolio to see some examples. Do you want to wear a dress? Go for it! Bring two changes of clothes? We’ll use both outfits. If we're working with more than one person for your shoot, make sure that everyone's outfits coordinate subtly, without being too matchy matchy.
Can you help me order prints?
Absolutely! I work with a recommended print vendor that produces very high quality prints in a quick turnaround time - much better than printing at Wal Mart! But wherever you choose to print your photos, I am always available to consult and advise throughout the process.
Do you have any tips on making my horse ready for his shoot?
I certainly do. Make sure your horse is show-ready groomed! Wipe down his ears and nose, and be sure that he’s had a thorough bath and is completely dry BEFORE I arrive. If you're braiding him, be sure he's fully braided too.
If he’s standing for a fine art portrait & there is a space in your barn that allows it, we’ll take his photograph without him wearing a halter or bridle. If needed, I recommend a clean, oiled bridle with neat straps, a simple bit, and no drop or flash noseband. A special halter works as well.
Every subject gets a little nervous for photos, and this includes horses. Consider your horse's mental state before the shoot; let him relax in his stall rather than stand in crossties. If he chews the bit, we'll put the bridle on just before the shoot, rather than asking him to wear it for a long period of time. If your horse isn't comfortable standing for long periods of time, I will make sure we use movement to keep his comfort level steady.
Can I extend the session on the day of?
I'm known for my flexibility and thinking on my feet, so whether you want to take some extra shots, add in your dog or other family members, I am up for all of it!
