AN INTENTIONAL, HORSE-FIRST APPROACH...

Every horse is different — and I photograph them that way.

I travel to your barn to capture your horse in their calmest environment. During your session, I am simultaneously working to read body language, adjust to light, and allow horses to settle into the session naturally, as well as coach and encourage you along the way.

Years of experience photographing horses means knowing when to wait, when to step back, and when a fleeting expression is worth everything.

My editing style is intentionally refined, emphasizing depth, softness, and emotional presence rather than heavy effects.

WHO THIS EXPERIENCE IS FOR...

This equestrian photography experience is ideal for: 

  • Horse owners who see their horse as family

  • Riders who want to honor years of dedication

  • Those who appreciate natural light and intentional composition

  • Clients who value artwork that lasts beyond trends

Jessica went above and beyond...

"When it was time to schedule my daughter's senior pics we did not even think twice.  Jessica went above and beyond to capture some amazing pictures that we will cherish forever!  She is extremely easy to work with, personable, and so much fun during the photo shoot."

sessions

with soul

invest 

in your memories

Time doesn’t slow down — not for senior year, not for the horse who’s carried you through it all, not for the fleeting seasons that define your story.

When you choose to invest in photography, you’re not just booking a session--you’re preserving the feeling of right now.

 

The quiet confidence. The laughter in the barn aisle. The touch of a soft muzzle against your hand.

Years from today, you’ll be grateful you pressed pause — that you chose to remember this chapter as it truly was. Because memories fade, but art keeps them alive — warm, tangible, and ready to be relived every time you walk past the frame.

This is your story — let’s make sure it stays vivid. ​​​

 Each investment reflects not just the time spent capturing your session, but the care and artistry applied in every photograph, edit, and final product. The result is art you’ll treasure for a lifetime. 

 

Sessions begin at $647. Most clients invest between $900–$3,000 in artwork that becomes a centerpiece in their homes.

 

The initial session fee of $647 includes:

 

✔️ 90 minute on-location session with your horse(s)
✔️ Pre-session wardrobe & tack consultation
✔️ Professional editing & artistry
✔️ Private cinematic reveal & ordering appointment
✔️ 3 gift prints (8×10 or smaller)


✔️ Lifetime Legacy of your Horse

FAQ

Do you offer albums or wall art?

I regularly travel throughout Wisconsin. Extended travel is available upon request.

Yes. My work is designed to live as tangible artwork, not just digital files.

What should I wear for my equestrian photos?

Clients receive my prep guide for guidance focused on neutral, timeless pieces that complement both you and your horse.

When is the best time of year for equestrian photos?

Each season offers something different, from fresh spring light to warm summer evenings and quiet autumn tones. I help clients choose timing based on light, location, and what best fits their horse and story.
