Why Hire a Professional Horse Photographer When You Have a Great Phone

You can snap a picture of your horse in pretty light, catch a goofy expression at the barn, or grab a quick video during a ride and have it in your hand instantly. That’s pretty awesome, and I am not here to fight the phone in your back pocket. Heck, I love taking quick photos of my own horses with my cell phone. I have even heard it said that the best camera is the one you have in your hand, and let’s be honest, most of the time that’s our cellphone.

That is one of the reasons I care so much about making sessions feel enjoyable and COMFORTABLE from the beginning.
