Horse Show Photography
The experience I offer as a horse show photographer is focused on creating personalized, artistic, images that capture an equestrian's show day in a new light.
Your horse show days do not start and end as you walk through the in-gate, so why should the memories stop there? The style of event photography that we provide is designed to create a more personalized & full-service experience for competitors.
Every image is created intentionally with regard to the correct biomechanics of the sport and happy equine athletes. Every flick of the ear, movement of light, and changing backdrop is carefully considered with utmost detail while working behind the lens.

NEW: VIDEO REELS
We are now offering reels at select shows!
Video coverage is $299 per horse. This can be combined with photo sign-ups or booked separately, and includes:
- 1 edited reel with mixed audio, approximately 45-60 seconds in length
- Private gallery with your ready-to-download edited reel (plus your proofing images if you signed up for photos too)
Please keep in mind this is not a full video of your entire test. We are taking 2-3 seconds clips of video between photos, throughout the weekend, with strong emphasis on candid moments outside the ring too.

At some events, including out-of-state shows, you'll see we offer something different: All Inclusive Private Client Coverage.
This works differently than our traditional sign-ups at shows where we are the official photographer. For Private Client shows, you are able to sign up for full coverage at one flat rate, which includes *all* of your high resolution digital images from the week. Shows where this coverage is available is indicated on the above schedule.
Private Client Coverage
*
All images are uploaded into an online gallery 72 hours after the show ends. This gallery functions as an online store where you will be able to make your a la carte digital, print, or keepsake purchases. Your total investment is made up by the $49 booking fee + your customizable image purchase. The most popular package are between $99-299.
After the Show
03.
During the show, we are onsite all day every day - warmup to awards - capturing your tests, candids, and more. Your personal paparazzi! My job is to turn this weekend's best moments into artwork that you'll cherish for years to come.
At the Show
02.
Riders must sign up ahead of time to receive coverage throughout the weekend. Sign-ups are confirmed with a $49 booking fee, which secures your spot on our schedule.
Before the Show
01.
How Does This Work?
Your total investment is made up of the $50 booking fee + image purchase. The most popular packages are as follows:
40 Digital Images . . . $299
20 Digital Images . . . $199
10 Digital Images . . . $149
5 Digital Images . . . $99
Prints, wall art, keepsakes, etc. are also available for a la carte purchase. Basic loose leaf photographic prints start at $29 including shipping. Wall art begins at $249.
How Much Does it Cost?
The main photo gallery is accessible by those who have signed up with me for photos, and any associated owners/trainers/etc. This gallery is listed on this website, but password protected.
A private gallery is an optional upgrade if you would like your photos to be unlisted and viewable by only you (separate from all other riders at that show). Private galleries are an additional $10 per gallery.
What is a Private Gallery?
Sometimes yes, but not always. We prioritize delivering a complete gallery with as much variety as possible.
We might not catch a test if...
* You go in the ring earlier than your ride time
* You sign up after the show has started for the day
* You are riding the same horse 4-6 times in one weekend
* Your horse enters the ring reactive/spooky/etc. and we feel our presence ringside would not be conducive
If you have a special request such as...
* You're wearing a special/new outfit for a specific test
* Your grandmother will be coming to cheer you on, but only for a few minutes on one of the days
* Your horse is much spookier in one arena vs the other
... Just let us know! I can take this into account when building our schedule.
Will You Photograph All My Rides?
Show proofs are all uploaded by Wednesday after the show. Everyone who signed up will receive an email with the direct link to the gallery.
Proofs in this gallery are unedited previews and images are edited upon purchase; this means the delivery of digital images is not instantaneous upon ordering and orders will take a few days to process before you receive the finish product.
When Will Photos Be Available?
You can sign up for photos at any show using the form below!
Sign up for one show, sign up for the next few, or sign up to be a Season Pass VIP.
If you're showing at DevonWood, you may have the option to sign up via your EquestrianHub entry.
