Equine or Horse Sales Photo Session
Designed with sellers in mind, these sessions are focused on presenting your horse in the most compelling and marketable way possible. From conformation to under saddle movement, each image is thoughtfully captured to highlight your horse’s structure, presence, and overall appeal to potential buyers.
Photographed in natural light, these sessions create clean, flattering visuals that showcase your horse with clarity and intention. The result is a collection of refined, professional images that not only capture beauty—but help tell your horse’s story in a way that stands out and supports a successful sale.

My 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.
Also be sure to scope out the areas you want in the background to ensure they are mostly clutter free.
2.
The Photo Session
We’ll spend time outdoors capturing beautiful images of your horse in natural lighting, whether portrait-style or under saddle. We’ll take a variety of shots to showcase your horse at their finest. To bring out lively and joyful expressions, we can use noise makers and props as needed to keep your horse’s attention and capture 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.
Please note in video, imperfections cannot be edited out.
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 for 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).
