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...

  1. Life is Fleeting

You never know where life will take you.

As much as you think you can plan for the future, you really can’t. There are changes and surprises around every bend. So, if you wait for a situation to fit your desires to a T — you might be waiting a long time. 





And then you’ll miss out on the things you wanted to capture in the first place. 





Like when you move into your first horse property and have your fence line and pasture to use as a backdrop. With gorgeous trees and green grass. The dream you held onto your entire life. Hoping and saving pennies every single day. 





Or when you buy two new horses for you and your spouse to enjoy the magical trails accessible from your back gate. Franny and Fritz — 16 hand Paints. Brother and sister from just outside of Tuscaloosa. Two total unicorns.





Don’t let life pass you by. Plan a custom equine portrait session with Fast Horse Photography in northeast Florida today.

  1. You are Beautiful

So many people struggle to get in front of the camera. Are you like that? Is this a struggle for you?





Let’s take a second and get real here. If you wait until you are a certain size, you miss out on life. This is a simple fact. If you wait to “fit” into your bathing suit, you’ll never jump in the waves. If you hang the black cocktail dress and watch it from afar, you’ll never dance at the party.





Do you want that to be your life story? 





If you don’t… you have to stop waiting for the right time. Now is the time to jump in feet first and grasp what life has to offer.





So, get in front of the camera and smile with joy. Let your equine portrait specialist capture your zest for life. Let her create artistic portraits of you and your horses. Ones to cherish for a lifetime. 





And when you look at them. Don’t chastise yourself for what you could or should be, think about and embrace who you are. Because you are beautiful just the way you are. You are unique and worthy of being in print.

  1. You Just Can’t Get the Shots You Want With Your iPhone

As hard as you might try, let’s face the truth. It’s hard to capture great shots of you and your family without help. If you are super lucky during the holidays, you get that one ok picture with your iPhone set on a ladder with the timer on. 







The kids are cheesin’, the horses are looking away, and the dogs are mid-stride. Not to mention, the lighting is off. 







But hey! You got a picture.







You can do that a few years in a row. But, once in a while, you need to hire a professional equine photographer who offers full-service photography. To help you define your family photo goals that result in gallery art for the walls of your barn, home, or office. 







You won’t regret having an equestrian photoshoot crafted entirely with your family’s needs in mind. 







Of course, you can have a friend join you at the barn to take some pictures. But, I guarantee, your friend doesn’t have the skills and expertise of a professional photographer who spent years gathering images of families with their horses.

  1. An Experienced Professional Knows How to Show Off Your Horse

Do you think “Every time I take a photo, my horse looks like a dork. Ears back and lookin’ awkward.”?







This might be true when you are taking a selfie. Or using a fancy camera and don’t know the exact settings for the optimal shooting of equines and humans.







But dollars to donuts, this isn’t true when an expert is behind the lens. 







A professional horse photographer sets up so many photo sessions a year, she can do it in her sleep. 







She knows how to flaunt your horse’s conformation and which side of your gelding’s face shines for the shot. She can get your horse to look at the camera and perk his ears just so. And capture the adorable expression that is so him and makes you laugh every time you see it. She is knowledgeable on what to do when horses and dogs are impatient and fidgety. She has tricks up her sleeve to get even the wiggliest of horses to stand. 







A gifted and seasoned equine photographer prides herself in pulling the best out of you and your horse. Showing them off, and making you look and feel great. 







You will walk away from your equestrian portrait session feeling like a million bucks. Feeling accomplished and thankful.







Resulting in astounding portraits you cherish and hang proudly on your walls. Gratitude and no regrets. 

  1. Your Photographer Has Great Ideas for the Ultimate Experience

When you work with a professional who specializes in equestrian portrait photography, they offer a myriad of benefits allowing for a wonderful experience. 







To begin with, a pre-session consultation guides you in your outfit and style choices. Don’t panic thinking you need to go out and buy new outfits for everyone so you match. Honestly, that’s not the goal. Focusing on a color scheme and style creates authentic and lifelike images. Take a look here for helpful tips on what to wear during your family photo session.







You discuss location options, shot ideas, and ultimately what your goal is for the photo session. 







You receive all the information you need to calm your fears and help you feel prepared.







Fast Horse Photography out of St. Augustine, Florida works with OnSite Muse, a group of talented hair and makeup artists. They come to the photoshoot location so you don’t have to worry about going one more place to do one more thing. Allowing you to put on a glow and feel amazing.







On the day of the shoot, your horse photographer knows how to calm the horses and humans alike. Helping everyone get through the session. Creating eager anticipation for the final result. 







Finally, you experience an image and viewing appointment where you watch a slideshow of your images set to music allowing you to select your favorite images. You discuss additional image editing needs and design your custom wall art.







What’s INCREDIBLY EXCITING when you work with Fast Horse Photography through a sophisticated computer program, you get to see your wall art on your walls. How cool is that? Enabling you to decide which framing medium and frame design is the perfect fit for your home. 







Fast Horse Photography also offers special keepsake items. For you, and to share with your family.







Essentially, a one-stop-shop for an all-inclusive gallery experience. 







Don’t wait until next month or next year to have a luxurious experience with your family and beloved animals. Don’t hold out until your 6 year old’s teeth grow in or your horse stands at attention. Do it now. Plan for your exquisite equestrian portraiture today.
