Photography Sessions for Equestrians
Horses make our lives whole. They are our best friends, partners, therapists, teachers and so much more. And yet, we know all too well that the only guarantee feels like they are never with us long enough.
Your heart horse is with you for only a fraction of your lifetime, but they deserve to be cherished and celebrated long past that.
As a lifelong equestrian myself, ECP specializes in creating photographs and printed artwork of you and your horse, that helps you honor their legacy now and forever more.
A few weeks after the session, we'll meet online or in person to customize your experience via the a la carte menu of artwork and keepsakes. We also have a selection of pre-designed packaged to choose from.

The session itself usually runs between 1-3 hours, depending on your goals. During our session, my top priority is always a fun & relaxed evening out with your horse!
CREATE
NO.2
The first step is to reach out! I can get you the full session guide with all details. We'll take some time to go over your goals in regards to who we'll be photographing and how you might want to display your final images.

THE PROCESS
OUR THREE STEP EXPERIENCE
Some clients opt for one style of portraiture over the other, while some choose to include both. Regardless of the type of session you decide to pursue, our time and final artwork is completely customizable. Some clients want to be photographed along side their horse(s) while other clients want their horse as the solo star of the show.
We bring the studio to you! These can be done on a black, white, or custom color backdrop. You are welcome to join in on these too, although many clients put the focus on the horse for this style of portrait!
FINE ART
NO.2
Lifestyle portraits are taken outside in the open light and can feature you with your horse, or just your horse on their own! These are the perfect choice for senior photos, family photos, or your horse at liberty.
LIFESTYLE
NO.1
TWO WAYS TO CREATE
BRENDA, CHIEF & VALENTINA
"Ella is gifted, patient and tuned-in to each pet and person, capturing their personalities. There is so much effort, experience and beauty in her photography yet you feel like a close friend is behind the camera. As an equestrian and dog mom, she knows her craft. Thank you, Ella!"
HANNAH & MOZZIE
"Ella (and Austin) is amazing! She has a great eye, and seems to find just the right way to make every horse look as beautiful and special as us owners believe them to be, and Austin is enthusiastic, humorous, and tireless getting ears up, helping pose, etc. At horse shows, they are always happy and smiling, even if the weather is awful or have been on their feet all day. The PNW equestrian community is lucky to have them! The photos Ella has taken of my pony are among some of my most treasured moments!"
KIERA & HANNAH
"Ella is a fantastic photographer and a wonderful person to work with. She is attentive to your needs but also has lots of great ideas to share with you to make the photo experience even more fun. If you're taking photos with your horses, she can always get their ears up too!! I HIGHLY recommend Ella for all photography needs!"
JAIMIE & JIMMY
"Always stunning photography, full service experience. You basically hand off your horse and get stunning images. The expertise in handling to get the right expression and the ability to edit out imperfections makes Ella a superior equine photographer. Send her your vision and she will be committed to making it happen."

Most clients spend $1500-$4500 on their custom artwork.
The second part of your investment is highly customizable and made up of either a la carte purchases or by selecting one of our pre-designed packages. We know this is a big decision, so you won't need to commit to any specific pieces of art before your session. You'll first get the opportunity to see your session images and feel the quality behind each piece of art that we offer.
We have some more info on our artwork below, and you'll also receive a more detailed pricing guide after reaching out.
