Equine Sessions
Vermont Professional Equine Photography
Your equine partners are an important part of your life and owning professional images of them is something that you will cherish forever.
I know the love we have for our horses since I own them too. They are a part of my family. Allow me to capture the beauty of your horses and the love you share with them. These sessions are an investment in memories and a way to remember our partners long after they have left us. Equine sessions can be done at your barn, or any location you choose and you can change horses or wardrobes as many times as you like. Together, we will make a series of images that you will love forever and want to share with your friends and family. Not every photographer can make these type of images. I am comfortable working with animals because I have owned them for a long time and I have worked around horses since I have been shooting professionally.
Your Vision
When you book your session with me, I want to learn about you and who you are. What disciplines do you practice with your horse? What's your vision for your equine portraits? Is there a special place or time that will help us create those unique images? Consider how we are going to capture the bond you have with your horse. Knowing what you want in your portraits allows me to create the photos that will 'wow' your friends and family. Magazines or Pinterest are great places to find images that you like. Although I won't commit to making copies of other images, I always enjoy inspiration from other sources!
Once you book a session, we can decide on a location that helps us bring that vision to life. I have done sessions inside barns, in pastures, parks, and no location is beyond my consideration. I also love when someone brings props and I encourage my clients to do so. When we include personal items, it creates images that are unique and tell your story, which is what we really are trying to do!
After the shoot:
I will contact you via email with a link to view your proofs. I usually deliver between 40-50 edited images that are the best from the day. These are unretouched images in your own gallery where you can select your favorites (ten are included) that you want to have printed. You can select your favorites from this gallery and place your product order right from the site. The products and digitals you receive will be retouched and I promise you will look great! I do my own retouching and I am very experienced in the use of Photoshop for skin softening, blemish removal, minor body adjustments and eye enhancements.
Investment and Booking
The portrait session fee includes the initial consultation and the photographer time during the shoot.
