EQUINE PORTRAITS
A simplified process to creating luxurious portraits of your horse.
These sessions are completed in the comfort of your own barn, only requiring a shaded doorway to the barn or arena (NO spooky backdrops or flashing lights!). You hold the lead rope, and we’ll use a lifetime of equine behavior knowledge to pose your horse in ways that highlight their best features for breed standards, riding disciplines, or to match their beloved personality. From there, your images are highly retouched with a backdrop added in post production.
These photographs, often enlarged as Fine Art become the centerpiece of your home, creating conversation for all who visit. With a sleek look, these pieces are easy to incorporate into any modern or rustic home!
Every session includes complimentary preparation guides for both you and your horses, sneak peeks on social media, and retouched, watermarked, low resolution digital images within 3 weeks! Fine art of all sizes and styles, and high resolution, un-watermarked images are available for purchase through your private online gallery. Custom collections are available upon request.
If you are hoping to be photographed with your horse, please consider booking a Horse & Rider Package to accompany your Equine Portraits.

C O M P O S I T I O N S
Compositions are complimentary for clients who book multiple portrait sessions. All horses are photographed individually for safety purposes, with compositions created in post production. If photographing horses at different times or locations, please inquire about creating compositions prior to beginning the photoshoot.
Best time for Equine Portraits
Horse’s look best when photographed in their sleek summer coats. If your horse likes to play rough in the pastures, or you would like to avoid sun bleaching or a bug bitten coat, I would HIGHLY recommend booking your session following the shedding season or a week after being clipped.
Please keep in mind that I book 3-4 MONTHS in advance!
“Jesse Klein is truly an artist. She captured the essence of my horses 100% perfectly. His personality and beauty shine through in her photos. They brought me to tears the first time I saw them. I was caught off guard that someone was able to capture with a lens what I saw. Jesse is reasonably priced and prompt with her work. Highly recommend her to all equestrians to capture their beloved animals.”

Included in your collection is a Fine Art Print Credit. This can be used toward transforming the images into customized Fine Art for your home.
