The Process
1.
Before The Session
Since the photoshoot takes place at your location of choice, there’s minimal preparation required on your part, except for ensuring your horse or equine is clean and ready for their photo session. If you plan to have them braided, make sure they are ready for the start of the photoshoot.
For a black background photoshoot, we need the barn aisle as clutter free as possible, and the door on the opposite end to be closed so it is dark behind the horse.
2.
The Photo Session
During the session, your horse will be positioned in the barn aisle, away from direct sunlight, with the barn lights turned off to create the perfect dark backdrop needed for stunning photos. We’ll capture a range of images to ensure we have options with ears forward, legs positioned beautifully, and expressive, engaging facial expressions. To achieve those lively and joyful expressions, we’ll use a variety of noise makers and props to keep your horse’s attention and bring out their best look.
3.
Image Enhancement After the Session
After the photo session, I carefully refine and enhance each image to reveal its full potential. I focus on color correction, composition, and overall quality to ensure each photo is truly stunning. Any blemishes, flies, or other unsightly areas on you or your horse will be skillfully edited out for a flawless result. Your final images will beautifully capture the essence of the moment, showcasing your horse’s elegance.
This is also when I incorporate wreaths, garlands, or other holiday accents for a festive touch.
4.
Proofing & Delivery
I provide an online gallery of all proofs, allowing you to conveniently view your images from the comfort of your own home. This eliminates the need for in-person meetings, saving you valuable time while ensuring easy access to your photo selections.
Image enhancement will take up to 2 weeks to ensure every photo is perfected for your review. Your online gallery will showcase all the best images from your session. Typically, the gallery includes more photos than the package covers. Only images that don’t meet quality standards or are too similar to others are excluded; the rest are available for you to view and purchase. Your gallery will remain accessible for download or purchase until the end of the current calendar year (or at least 2 months).
If you share your photos on social media, it would mean so much to me if you could tag my Instagram or Facebook (@UnaSchadePhotography).
