What to Wear Horse & Rider Portraits

Now that you have booked your session it’t time to figure out what to wear to your session! This is my favorite part of the process and I love helping clients pick the perfect outfit. Feel free to send me your ideas if you need help choosing the perfect outfit. I am going to include a few different ideas for what to wear below.

 I always recommend professional hair and makeup for your portraits! It can make all of the difference in making sure you look and feel picture ready. If you are in the Houston area I can send you my list of recommended hair and makeup artists.

Look #1: Lets Get Dressed Up

This is my personal favorite. Put on a gorgeous dress and get all dolled up for your portraits with your horse. My favorite place to find a dress is Rent the Runway. If you use this link to Rent the Runway you will receive a $30 credit towards your first rental. There is something so gorgeous about a girl in a beautiful dress in the middle of an open field or even in the forest with her majestic horse. Add some florals on your horse’s bridle, some garland around their neck, or even a floral crown for yourself if you want something a little extra. Check out my Lets Get Dressed Up Pinterest Board for more ideas.

Look #2: Equestrian Style

This is the perfect timeless look. Put on your best riding clothes and give them a high fashion twist! Leave off the stock tie, wear your favorite fashion belt, or even put on a colorful shirt. I absolutely adore this look, not only is it timeless but it is elegant and there are so many awesome ways to incorporate your own style and personality into this look.  For more ideas head over to my Equestrian Style Pinterest Board.

Look #3: Do Your Thing

I love my clients so incredibly much, because each and every one of you are so unique. This category is for you. Are you not too sure about wearing a big fancy dress? Thats totally ok. I encourage you to step outside of your box and wear something fun, different, something that you would wear in your day to day life! You never know, you may just end up falling in love with a new look. The most important thing about your pictures is that you look and feel amazing and confident in what you are wearing. Check out my What to Wear  Pinterest board for some other amazing ideas of what to wear to your session.

What to Wear

 

At the Pin Oak Charity Horse Show in 2022 we photographed 150 Horses, Dogs, & Goats and raised just over $10,000 for Candlelighters Houston. You can read the stories of each of the animals we photographed below that follow along with the Horses of Pin Oak Books.

 

I was 12 years old when I first truly learned the magical power of horses. Something about the way their eyes seem to pierce so deeply into your soul, almost like they are saying “I understand” without you having to explain anything to them. Over the years I have spent so much time hearing story after story of how horses have quite literally transformed and saved so many lives and healed countless souls.

 

It is my hope that each and every portrait and story in this book brings a little sunshine into your life, a little hope on your darkest day.

That each and every portrait you can feel the same peace that I have known to feel when I stare into a horse's eyes.
