The Best Time is NOW for a Breathtaking Equine Family Photo Session

Have you ever thought, “When is the best time to gather the horses, dogs, and all the family together for a family portrait?” Is it too hot this summer? Should we wait until December for a Christmas card?

Maybe you’re holding out for the perfect time. When the kids or grandkids are old enough to pose. The horses are trained enough to stand still. And, the dogs can sit calmly at your feet.

Are you looking for the:

Perfect time.
Ultimate day.
Clearest weather.
Ideal situation to gather everyone together for the perfect photo.

Stop that thinking right now. Because that PERFECT scenario is never going to happen. And you will NEVER have family photos to cherish memories if you keep up this thinking. NOW IS THE TIME. Right now. Not next year.

Now is the exact time to hire a professional equestrian photographer for an equine family portrait session.

Here are 5 reasons why...

Amber and Emily/ St. Augustine, Florida/ Florida Horse Photography

Photographing Amber and Emily with their sweet horses was a special treat for me! I had photographed Amber at previous horse show events, but have never had the opportunity to photograph her sister Emily and NEVER in the context of an equine photography session. So it was a real pleasure to head out to their little farm located here in St. Augustine, FL to spend some time with them and their horses.

Personalized Equine Photo Albums and Equestrian Memory Boxes, Oh My!

Times change. Seasons change. Lives change.

You always knew you couldn’t keep him forever. Time to move on to a new chapter in your life that didn’t include a horse.

A mystical horse you’d never forget. For the rest of your life.

Your wonderful husband gifted you with a “Remember Me” photo session with a professional equine photographer in Florida to capture as many memories as possible before it was time to say goodbye.

Addie and Cruze/ Peak Performance Horses/ St Augustine, Florida/ Photography For Horse People

I was beyond excited to meet with Addie and her mother, Khela to start the planning process for Addie’s horse photography session with her newly leased horse, Cruze. Addie and Cruze spend their days at Peak Performance Horses, so it was the perfect location for their photography session. On the day of the session, the weather was bleak looking. Very overcast, windy, with a chance of rain. Well rain it sure did! The rain didn’t stop Addie and Cruze from having fun and finishing their session together. Scroll through to spot the last image of the day, just as the rain started pouring down!

Bria and Chance, Equestrians of Color Photography Project (EOC Project)

I enjoy being who I am! I feel like God created people all different and I get to represent both black and white people because that is how he made me. I am proud of who I am and all that I have learned so far about horses. I am excited to keep learning and spending time with horses and hopefully, I can help to show other people that want to ride to ride no matter what color that they are. Maybe they will see me and know that all kinds of people can ride if you love horses.

Equine Elegance on Display

Powerful. Refined. Celebrating the physical details, attitude, and expressions of the horse. Solely focusing on the animal. Capturing subtle nuances and emotions.

Endings and a New Beginning

Going back 4 years in your mind, you remember the day you saw one of the older girls at your barn having her senior pictures taken. What an awesome idea. You never heard of doing senior portraits with your favorite four-legged friends. Until you received a “Barn Bucket” from Fast Horse Photography loaded with goodies for you and your horse. When your mom picked you up after lessons, you shared your hopes of having your senior pictures taken with your horses. With tears in her eyes, mom said it was a lovely idea.

Stephanie Watko/ Equestrian Family Photography/ Hastings, Florida

Ok, so a little secret about me is that I love, love, LOVE getting the opportunity to photograph full equestrian families. What does that mean? Well for me that means including ALL the family animals into a single portrait! So when Stephanie contacted me about photographing her family I was so excited for the opportunity! Her fur family consists of three horses, three dogs, and a sweet little pot-bellied pig named Nacho. He has his own Instagram page, by the way, so if you enjoy following pig antics go check it out and enjoy.

A Black and White Collection of Images from the 2020 Foaling Season

New foals are hitting the ground all over NE Florida and I’ve had the pleasure to photograph several of them in their early days of life. The 2020 foaling season has left many expecting horse owners, with sleepless nights as they worry over the safe arrival of new colts and fillies to their stables.
