Frequently Asked Questions
What does my session fee get me?
You’ll receive a white background fine art portrait session valued at $690.
You’ll also receive a private image reveal a few weeks after the show where we’ll review your portraits and select which images you’d like to purchase.
Additionally, you get your session fee back to you as a $95 artwork credit to put towards portraits you’d like to purchase.
What happens if I need to reschedule?
If you have a conflict during the show, you can reschedule using the reschedule link in your booking confirmation.
If it’s the day of, just swing by the booth and we’ll figure it out!
How do I prepare my horse?
You’ll already be ready to shine in the show ring which is 90% of the work! Keep your horse braided and ensure they are dry and free of dust, and sweat marks with a clean bridle!
How do I prepare my dog?
If you plan to get portraits of your beloved dog, we recommend a good grooming day or two ahead of the horse show with a bath included. Keep a brush and rag on hand for any last-minute tidying up! And, don’t forget the treats!
Are wall art, albums, prints, or digital files included?
All wall art, prints, albums, and digital files are separate from your session fee. However, each session fee does include an art credit that you can use towards any artwork you’d like to purchase at your reveal. We’ll custom design wall art to fit the space in your home (or office/barn/wherever you want to enjoy your art!) so you’ll see exactly how it will look when it arrives.
How much am I going to spend?
it’s honestly up to you! There is no minimum spend requirement after your initial session fee, so what you want to invest is going to depend on the products you want to display in your home.
Ready-to-hang, heirloom Wall Art begins at $795, our Signature museum-quality framed canvases begin at $1995, and fine art Albums begin at $3000.
If smaller prints are more your speed, we have stunning, small archival prints offered at an exclusive horse show price of $195!
Can I just get the digitals?
Creating heirloom art to go on your walls that you can be inspired each day is a huge part of our ethos. These images aren’t meant to hide away in a folder on your hard drive, therefore we do not offer digital files as a stand-alone item. However, digital files for social media are complimentary for every artwork portrait purchased at your reveal.
Do you offer white background portraits outside of horse shows?
White background fine art portraits are a horse show exclusive. However, we offer stunning black background fine art portraits on location all year round! (We travel nationwide!)

Relive the Moment
Your daily reminder of why
Your horse is so much more than just a horse. What they give us is beyond anything we could hope to put into words. These portraits will bring you back to those moments, that feeling every time you look at them. Especially when you need it most.
