ARTWORK Session
$500
A bespoke experience in which we focus on designing beautiful art for the walls of your home - and then plan our session around that vision.
It’s like consulting with an interior designer to design a custom art piece for you home - an archival handmade piece by artisan craftsmen for your walls only.
In an artwork session, your $500 session fee will be applied to any Signature Series art piece 20x30 or larger.
We all know that barn friends are the best friends, #amiright? Now you can host an equine portrait party at your barn and receive a complimentary session!
It's critical that you have a plan to print your images. Otherwise, they are going to slowly fade to obscurity in the deep, dark corners of your computer's hard drive and that is sadder than forgetting where you buried that big juicy bone.
I'm happy to create luxurious and archival artwork for you or if you are going the DIY digital route, I'm happy to recommend some great options for you.
So sit back, relax, and start to consider what you would love to wake up to in your home.

The extras
I love these images, but what if my barn just isn't very pretty?
I know, I have dreams of endless white fences, a driveway lined with towering oaks, and a dust-free barn with pavers and chandeliers too. However, horse ownership is usually held in normal barns with surroundings that feel more ag-chic than equine architectural digest.
Guess what? Almost all of the equine images that I’ve created have been in your typical barn surroundings - mud and all. We just need a pocket or two of good light and I can make magic happen.
If I have my horse photographed, can you photograph my senior pictures at the same time?
Yes! I LOVE photographing high school senior sessions with their horse….because that was me. I LIVED at the barn during high school and I don’t have the images to remember that time in my life. In addition to creating images of you and your horse, we can also create more traditional senior photos. We can even add a second location and travel to another locale for your non-horse images. I am happy to assist you in arranging a hair and makeup artist to help you feel your best.
Can my equine session include under saddle images or a black-background image?
Of course! All sessions are custom designed and tailored to exactly what you are hoping to create and capture.
How many horses are included in the session?
Your session can include all the horses owned by the same household. If you have friends at your barn that are also interested in having their horses photographed, consider holding a portrait party!
Can I be in the photos too? What about my human children?
Yes! Most equine photography sessions focus on capturing the relationship between you and your horse so you will be in many of the images. We can certainly create some headshot or at liberty images as well. If you would like to include any other humans in the photos as well, all humans from your household are welcome to be involved in the session as well.
Can you recommend someone to help me with my hair and makeup?
Of course! I am happy to recommend several local hair and makeup artists if you would like to book their services for our session.
My horse doesn't have much time left. Is there a special session?
I’m so sorry. Our horses are some of our very best friends! Tribute Sessions are available for those horses that are at the end of their time with us. They are regular sessions, but I will give every effort to adjust my schedule to squeeze you in as soon as possible.
Do you photograph any other animals other than horses?
Yes! I also specialize in photographing dogs. You can learn more about my dog photography services here.
How far outside of Charlotte do you travel?
I am based near Davidson, NC and will travel throughout the greater Charlotte region. From Fort Mill to Statesville and Gastonia to Waxhaw.
Just about any location within an hour of Davidson, NC. If you are interested in a session beyond the greater Charlotte metro, contact me for a customized travel quote.
Do you still offer horse photography services in Pittsburgh, PA?
Occasionally yes! I do make it back to the 'Burgh periodically throughout the year. If you would like to be notified of when either dog or horse Pittsburgh sessions are available, just click here.
Do I have to choose a collection now?
While it's helpful to have an idea of which collection you are interested in when booking your session, you do not have to make any final decisions until our viewing and ordering appointment when you see all of your final images!
How does the process work?
The first step is taking a peek around this website and deciding that you want to work with me! If you do, simply book your session here. If you have some questions first, get in touch with me here.
Once your session is booked, we will schedule a pre-session consultation. This is an online meeting in which we will choose a date and time of our session, discuss the details of the location, and plan all of the little details.
At our session, you and your horse's only job is to be yourself! Even if that means we need to stop for some grass nibbling or take a little walk. It's no problem! You relax as I guarantee we are going to create beautiful images and I've worked with horses that are more naughty than yours!
Approximately 1-2 weeks after our session, we will meet online over Zoom. In non-pandemic times, we would meet at my home studio in Cornelius. However, if there are some samples that you would like to see we can arrange a porch meeting.
At our virtual viewing and ordering appointment, we will go over all of your images, choose your favorites, eat chocolate, and finalize your order together. I will then move your files into production and produce gorgeous custom archival artwork that you will love for a lifetime. Each time you look at them you will be reminded of the unspeakable relationship that you and your horse share. Animals first, always.
I want to create authentic portraits of my horse! How do I book?
Simply click here to book a session! If you still have some questions, send them my way on this inquiry form or give me a call at 704-755-4590. I can't wait to work with you!
