Celebrating a Horses Life/ Equestrian Family Portraits/ Palm Coast, Florida
I’ve had the opportunity to Photograph Ilana several times. I’ve photographed her with her horses, her friends horses, at my photography workshops, with her dogs, when photographing horse tack for my commercial work, and just for fun! But when Ilana contacted me about capturing images of her horse Ruler in his final days of life…. my heart just sunk for her. One of the hardest decisions we have to make as horse owners is when we have to make end of life decisions for the horses we love. Ilana wanted to capture Ruler doing the things that they enjoyed doing together so we chose a lake side location where they could splash and play together one last time. In addition, Ilana wanted to have a full family portrait while Ruler was still with them. I will always feel honored to capture the connection between horses and their humans… but especially honored when equestrians choose to work with Fast Horse Photography for their end of life sessions for their horses. Hugs to anyone who has had to say goodbye to a horse.
“I have worked with Cara at Fast Horse Photography for many years so when I made the hard decision to put my horse down I knew I had to ask Cara to get some final photos of my family with my special boy. These photos will always mean a great deal to me. I’m grateful I had a chance to capture some amazing memories with him before we lost him. Cara captures the most magical moments with her camera. I now have a very large picture of my family hanging on my wall that I look at everyday and smile. I miss my boy terribly but now I will always have something to remember him by and that’s worth every penny. Cara is so good about making you feel comfortable in front of the camera even if you’ve never had photos taken before. She knows all the tips and tricks for your horse or dog too. She will go to any length to get those ears up! She personally delivered my order to my house this past week and I really appreciate that she goes the extra length to do that. I love one of the photos so much that I will be getting it turned into a tattoo so my boy can be a part of me forever. Thank you Cara!”
