As a lifelong equestrian herself, Ariel combines her passion for horses and photography to create images that represent the strength and beauty of our equine partners.
Let’s create amazing memories together!
I offer a few different services for the individual horse owner as well as the equine business owner.
Horse & rider sessions are equine styled photoshoots that capture the bond between you and your equine partner. Black background sessions are available as well.
Horse & rider session’s are focused on capturing the amazing bond between you and your horse. I come to your farm (or boarding facility) where your horse will be most comfortable. My goal is to create a mix of lightly posed images along with amazing candids of you and your horse that capture your unique bond.

$450
If you're looking for images of your horse that are timeless and capture their individual beauty + personality then black background portraits are the way to go!
Black background sessions include multiple poses with a variety of angles that show off your horses best features! Each image is beautifully hand-edited so they look stunning online as well as on your walls.
Black background sessions begin at $250.
Day in the life sessions are perfect for the equestrian professional; trainer, breeding farm, boarding facility… I want to showcase you + the services you provide. Let’s spend the day creating imagery that showcases your equestrian business for your website, marketing and social media content.
Package includes:
Day in the life pricing start’s at 1450 for full day and 900 for half day.
Most clients choose to wear show clothing or a dressy outfit and a more casual outfit. Don't worry, shortly after booking you will receive an email that will include more tips on styling to help you decide what to wear! I recommend including a towel, water, a snack, lots of jewelry, shoes, a brush/comb, and powder foundation.
Whatever you usually do to get your horse show ready! Don't forget the little things like cleaning adding a little oil on the hooves. Also be sure to clean any tack you want to use during your session. Leather halters and bridles are recommended over nylon. Also don't forget a damp rag, fly spray and your horse (or ponies!) favorite treats!
Yes, yes, yes... I highly encourage it! Feel free to bring along a family member, trainer, friend, spouse, etc. Just make sure they are comfortable handling your horse!
I always recommend that you lunge or exercise your horse in the morning before you start prepping him for your photoshoot. Once you've ridden/worked them down, start getting him/her show ready. Don't worry, I have 4 kids which has taught me an unending amount of patience. I promise we'll get amazing images even if your horse needs a little extra time to relax!
Just about every equine session I do is at the barn where your horse lives. I promise, even if you think your barn is ugly, something I pride myself in is finding beauty in all situations!
If you do have a location idea I'm always open to discussing!
Session pricing varies with packages starting at 450. Clients normally spend between 500-2000 on their photography experience. In addition to digital delivery of images I do offer canvases, fine art prints and albums as a beautiful way to display your images.
I offer payment plans to break up payments!

Your final balance can be paid by check on the day of your session or credit card online. Ask me about payment plans. Your images and products are delivered when your balance is paid in full.
