Horse & Rider Portraits

fine art storytelling

The bond between you and your horse deserves to be celebrated in the most relaxed, authentic, natural way. The two of you have a story, and whether you're at the beginning, end, or somewhere in the middle of that story, it's beautiful and it deserves to be told.

The nicker when they see you coming. The silly begging faces, the quiet moments, the feeling you get around your horse that you could never quite put into words. That's exactly what I'm here to capture — the parts of your horse that only you truly know.

The Experience

YOUR HORSE IS ONE OF A KIND - YOUR PORTRAITS SHOULD BE, TOO

No stiff poses, no wondering if your horse will cooperate. Before your session, I'll help you style the perfect look, walk you through how to prepare your horse, and tell you what to expect — so on the day, all you have to do is show up and enjoy it.

A SEAMLESS
EXPERIENCE

Every image from your curated, fully edited gallery — yours forever at full resolution. No choosing packages, no ordering appointments, no paying extra for digitals. Just every beautiful moment from your session, delivered simply.

YOUR IMAGES,
DELIVERED SIMPLY

Let’s start with a conversation over email or phone to make sure we’re the perfect fit. I want to hear about you, your horse, and the vision you have for your portraits. Feeling relaxed and comfortable is key — and I want you to have fun too.

Say Hello

Once your session is booked, we’ll work together to plan every detail. From outfits and tack to how you envision displaying your portraits, we’ll make sure you’re fully prepared and excited. You’ll receive your Portrait Planning Guide — filled with prep tips, inspiration, and helpful checklists — so you can feel confident and ready on session day.

Your Pre-Session Consultation

Your horse is ready, you’re ready, and I’ll be there early to scope the property and plan the flow of your session. Together, we’ll capture a mix of timeless portraits, relaxed natural poses, and those candid moments that make your connection unique.

Your Photo Shoot

About four weeks after your session, you’ll receive a link to your private, password-protected online gallery. From there, you can download your digital images and order prints, wall art, or albums. Not sure what will look best in your space? I’ll help guide you to select pieces that perfectly match your style and decor.

Your Photographs

About two to three weeks after placing your print order, your one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted wall art and prints will arrive. These pieces are designed to be treasured — a lasting way to celebrate your horse and the story we captured together.

We had the best time working with Jessica on our engagement photo shoot. It was a super hot and muggy day, and Jessica went above and beyond to keep us cool and comfortable for the shoot - bringing along a fan and other props to help us cool down. She did an amazing job photographing Noelle (my mare), finding the best locations/light on the property, and was generally a blast to work with!

A picture is worth a thousand words, but Jessica’s portraits have left me speechless every time. Jessica surpassed my expectations and gave me stunning portraits that I get to enjoy every day. She is truly an outstanding photographer. She has the ability to capture the true bond between horse and rider.

I’m glad to now call Jessica a friend!

So amazing to work with, from our first initial encounter with her to the end and beyond. I had a complex photo shoot - 2 mares and 7 family members. The entire experience and the end results were priceless and full of every emotion I had with my older beloved mare, who was the main focus of this photo session. Exceeded all my expectations!!
