Barrel Racing, Buckles, and Beautiful Light in Ormond Beach, FL

Leianne’s Senior Portrait Session With Horses

Senior portrait sessions with horse girls always bring something special, and Leianne’s session in Ormond Beach, FL was no exception. With her three horses—Romeo, Roman, and Taz—by her side, and a collection of rodeo awards in hand, this session was full of heart, horsepower, and golden light.

Leianne is a dedicated barrel racer, spending weekends traveling to compete, and she knew she wanted her equine senior photography session to celebrate everything she’s accomplished in the arena. Her first look was a soft, light pink dress that gave a sweet, classic vibe to her portraits. Then, she changed into her western riding gear and brought out her rodeo awards, including belt buckles, plaques, and a sash all of which tell the story of years of hard work and success.

We photographed a mix of portraits, candid interaction shots with her horses, and some exciting action images as she did a few barrel runs in her home arena. The property was a dream to work on. As the sun began to set, it lit up the oak trees lining their lawn, giving us the kind of glow that every horse photographer in Northeast Florida hopes for.

At her viewing and ordering appointment, Leianne and her family selected one of my favorite heirloom products—a farmhouse keepsake box. It includes all of her digital files and printed favorites, beautifully organized and ready to be shared and displayed for years to come.

Working with equestrian seniors like Leianne is one of the best parts of what I do. These moments deserve more than just quick snapshots. They deserve thoughtful, professional images that reflect the bond between a girl and her horses.
