Nowadays, we carry our phones with us everywhere we go and it isn’t that difficult to take a quick snap of our horses. I know my phone is 99% filled with photos of my dog!
What makes an equine photoshoot different?
If you take a quick scroll through those phone photos, how many are of you and your horse looking at your best, perfectly in focus, well lit, carefully composed and could be printed big to display on your wall? Not many?
An equine photoshoot is all about perfecting these moments between you and your horse, leaving you with beautiful memories to look back on for a lifetime.
Here are my top 8 reasons to have a photoshoot with your horse:
1. Gives you the power to freeze time.
I was listening to one of my favourite songs the other day and the lyrics go; “They say the best memories are the ones that we forget”.
If only we could bottle that feeling of the wind rushing through your hair as you gallop across the fields or those quiet moments, just brushing your horse after a long ride, the sweet smell of horse in the summer air.
Sadly, these moments don’t last forever. But, you can freeze time with a photoshoot and protect those memories.
2. It is something to look forward to
There is no denying that the last two years have been tough. The uncertainty and being away from our loved ones has impacted all of us. We have missed out on so much, from trips away to just catching up with a friend over coffee. Now things are starting to edge towards ‘normal’, why not give yourself something to look forward to?
I will guide you every step of the way, building your excitement from the moment you book all the way through to the delivery of your artwork. It is an experience you will never want to end.
3. A chance to celebrate everything you have achieved with your horse
After hours of training in the school, the early mornings getting ready for a show, the glorious highs and the humbling lows – isn’t it time you celebrated your hard work and dedication spent building the partnership that you have with your horse?
The rosettes on the wall and that quick print you got at a competition only shows part of your journey together. Let a photoshoot tell the rest of your story.
4. Find your inner confidence and have fun!
On the rare occasions I get fully dressed up, hair and make up done, brand new outfit and feeling really confident, I am annoyed that there isn’t someone to take a decent picture of me!
It is so important to take time to appreciate you and feel good about yourself. A collection of stunning images of you and your best friend, are the best way to find your inner confidence and appreciate how beautiful you both are.
I will be honest with you, I much prefer being behind the camera than in front of it. This is why I pride myself on keeping everything fun and relaxed on a shoot, so all you need to concentrate on is just spending time loving your horse.
5. A chance to get dressed up!
The last time you and your horse got dressed up, it was probably for a competition, right? A photoshoot is a chance to look your best and spend quality time together, without the pressure of trying to remember your dressage test!
Plus, it gives you the opportunity show off that beautiful hand made leather head collar with personalised name plate and your extensive Fairfax & Favor boot collection. Or use your upcoming photoshoot as an excuse to go shopping!
6. You will never regret booking a shoot
You might have it in the back of your mind “I would quite like a photoshoot with my horse” but never get round to booking it. We all have busy lives and it is easy to put off the things we really want to do.
It is a sad fact that one day our best friend might not be there in a few years. Some of the most important horses in my life were golden oldies and unfortunately, I only have some grainy phone pictures to remember them by.
Don’t deny yourself an amazing experience and the joy of seeing you and your horse at your very best.
7. Create art for your home
One of my favourite parts of your experience is creating artwork from your beautiful memories.
Images deserve to be printed and on display for all to enjoy. I have carefully chosen high quality suppliers to ensure your memories will be preserved for a lifetime.
8. Just because!
Have home renovations recently been completed so you now have plenty of wall space desperate for stunning images?
Maybe you have just moved to a new yard, which offers beautiful vistas of your favourite hacking spot?
Or have you completed a goal that you and your horse have been working towards for a long time?
Perhaps you just feel like treating yourself! Sometimes ‘just because’ is reason enough.
