Using professional studio lighting and a variety of photography backdrops, including the ever-popular classic black, I create timeless portraits that showcase your horse’s beauty and personality.
The years we spend with our horses never feel long enough.
A portrait session offers the opportunity to slow down, celebrate your journey together and create lasting memories that you'll treasure for years to come.

With a background in equine science, coaching and international competition, I understand horses as well as I understand photography.
That means sessions are planned around your horse, allowing plenty of time, patience and flexibility to create portraits that are both beautiful and true to their character.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where do the portrait sessions take place?
Most sessions take place at my studio near Tullamore, Co. Offaly, where I have a studio large enough for a horse for creating timeless portraits.
Outdoor sessions may also be available for clients who would prefer a natural setting.
Please get in touch to discuss sessions on location.
Can I be in the photographs?
Absolutely.
Many of the most meaningful portraits include owners, riders or the whole family.
What should I wear?
Neutral, timeless clothing photographs beautifully and helps keep the focus on you and your horse.
After booking, I'll send you helpful guidance to make choosing outfits easy.
Do I need to prepare my horse?
Before your session I recommend:
- Grooming thoroughly and removing dust and stains.
- Cleaning eyes, nose and dock.
- Tidying or plaiting the mane if you wish.
- Cleaning tack if it will be included.
- Bringing a well-fitting bridle.
- Bringing a favourite treat!
Don't worry if everything isn't perfect !
What if my horse won't stand still?
Please don't worry.
I will start very slowly introducing the lights and giving your horse time to look around and get used to the surroundings.
I work patiently, allowing time for breaks and adapting the session to suit your horse's personality.
I have two horses - is that twice the price?
A typical session one hour session can be divided between two horses (same owner) and family.
I advise you bring someone capable to help you hold each horse if planning to shoot two horses or I can arrange an assistant in advance for an additional fee if required.
For information about session fees, wall art and digital images, please visit the Pricing page.
- Suitable for horses of all ages and breeds.
- Sessions are tailored to your horse's temperament.
- I find horses don't normally mind the flash of the lights at all!
- Multiple horses can usually be included by arrangement.
- On location sessions available by arrangement
