For a slimmer look, form fitting & figure hugging is definitely best. Look for clothes that give you shape or have structure of some sort. Items such as loose sweaters can add extra bulk to your figure.
Avoid patterns as they may detract from your face, subtle designs or accents are ok, just stay away from bold prints.
Think textures. Textures like lace, ruffles, sequins, or ruching add visual interest to your photos.
Bring a variety of layers to add to your look, layers add interest and dimension to your photos and can be a great way to add structure to your look. Think of a fun jacket or vest.
Avoid cap sleeves, sleeveless is great for toned arms, 3/4 sleeves are universally flattering and slimming.
Go for a v-neck or scoop neckline to elongate your next. High neck lines can make your neck appear short in photos.
Don't be afraid to go outside of your comfort zone and choose outfits you may not normally wear in your every day life. Express yourself. Go for GLAM with an epic dress, something unusual and extraordinary.
Add lots of fun accessories or jewelry for extra interest and dimension in your looks. Go for the fun necklace or earrings, add a hat for a few images, or even a jacket that is extra fun with rhinestones or fringe.
Choose shoes that you will be safe walking in fields and uneven ground with your horse. A lace up wedge or ankle boot look great in photos and are great safe shoes around horses. If you are wearing a long dress, your feet may be hidden depending on the dress so that give you some extra freedom.
Our most popular portrait session, our Basic Session, includes enough time for two different looks, where our Petite Session, includes enough time for one look, and our Whimsy Session, includes enough time for three looks.
Most of my clients choose two distinctively different looks, they may do a fun formal glam look with an epic dress for their first look, and an equestrian look for their second.
We have a Pinterest Board full of inspiration to help you get ideas on what to wear.

Everyday Equestrian Style with A Twist
I always recommend that my client hire a Hair & Makeup Artist for the day of their portrait session.
1. This gives you a chance to sit down and be pampered prior to your photo session, and just relax knowing you will look your best.
2. Know that your Hair&Makeup will last even outside in the elements.
3. Hair&Makeup Artists are freaking amazing. That's right I said it. They have super powers and abilities to make our faces look completely flawless, they also know just how to hi-light our best futures and hide our flaws.
4. I don't know about you, but I curl my hair and some days it falls flat in an instant + there is no way I can do those super fancy braids and pull my hair back like the pro's. I don't know what they do, but they have ways that just make curls last for days.
5. You want to look flawless in your photos right?
-Choose a Hair Style that is partially pulled back or tamed, it can be windy during outdoor portraits and having your hair partially pulled back, or braided to the side helps prevent the "I just stuck my head out of a window" look.
-Don't be afraid of eyelashes. Seriously ladies, fake lashes are your friends for portraits and really make your eyes pop.
-Typically makeup for portraits may seem like more makeup than you normally wear, but keep in mind that our portraits are bright and airy so it will appear less dramatic in your portraits.
You will receive an email with a link to schedule your reveal a few weeks after your portrait session.
At your Image Reveal and Ordering Consultation you will get to view all of your favorite images for the first time. This is also where you will choose how to spend the print credit that was included with your session fee, and add on any additional items you may wish to purchase.
- Go through all of your photos and talk about which images you love the most
- Design custom art displays for your home using images of the walls of your home that you send us
- Select image for any albums you would like to showcase your portrait session
- Choose any small prints you may want for end tables or gifts
Albums are one of our most popular items. I would say that around 95% of our clients end up with an album featuring their favorite images for their session. Albums are the perfect item if you fall in love with a large number of your images, and truly want something to tell the story of your portraits with us.
Our albums are all hand made in Spain and are truly pieces of art in themselves. Each page is printed on silk paper that does not finger print like a traditional photographic paper, and mounted on a hard substrate so that the pages do not bend or warp over time. I truly believe in the quality of this product. I have sample albums that have been displayed at horse shows outdoors on week on end for years that still look brand new and have not seen any wear or tear from the dirt or humidity.
When you purchase an album you can choose our Petite or Luxe size. Our Luxe size is a beautiful statement piece of a coffee table or book shelf, the largest images in this album are around 10 inches tall, and up to 28 inches wide. Our Petite album is perfect gifts for family members or as a complement to your main album so you have something for your office, or to take with you places.
We offer 2 different lines for our Wall Art, we have a Museum Line and a Modern Line.
Our Museum line is truly the top of the option. Our museum line includes our Canvas Gallery Wraps that are hand made by artisan craftsmen right here in the United States with the utmost attention to detail. These Gallery Wraps are finished by hand with brush strokes to give them a beautiful finish and add extra protection to your canvas.
