If you're a sales barn, you know how important it is that horses move in a timely manner. How do you do that in the most efficient way? Well, by investing in it. But, you've already invested tons of resources into feeding, training, and housing so why do you need to invest more? Allow me to explain. ⬇️

Sales horses who have professional videography, and professional portraits are 80% more likely to sell 𝘧𝘢𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳 and at 𝘩𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘦𝘴 than a horse who was offered for consideration with iPhone photos and video.

The reason why simply boils down to human psychology, which in the end is all that marketing is about.
According to a research panel created by KISSmetrics, a whopping 93% of consumers consider visual appearance to be a key factor in a purchasing decision.
Humans see with their eyes first before reading. Catching them with the first look, follows with a higher conversion rate. If you're selling high quality horses, you need the high quality ads too.

✅ Visually appealing, eye-catching photos will drive the "WOW!" factor that every business needs to generate efficient sales.
✅Equine Portraiture is not only visually appealing, but it showcases the horse's conformation, beauty, and unique personality through and through. It also tells your potential buyers that they have patience, discipline, good ground manners and are capable for whatever is thrown their way.
✅Equine Portraiture is solely focused on the horse, this takes away any background distractions that may be off-putting to potential buyers.
✅Professional video showcases your horse in a different light, it tells a story. Think of it like your very own ad video, but catered specifically for one horse. These videos will highlight their best features, showcasing their potential, while remaining completely authentic to the horse in 4K for the most visible detail.

Always remember, we buy with our eyes first. If you're a sales barn and are interested in my services either for marketing your business, or sales, contact me to discuss some great deals you won't want to miss.

While our session time may be short, a lot goes on after the fact as soon as I get back to my computer.
Difficulty in editing the session images varies, but some of the most common processes I do is:
• Basic blemish/stray hair removal: This creates a uniform look throughout your horse’s coat.
• Lead rope/rein removal
• Ear replacement: Sometimes ears don’t always go in the direction we like, I typically only do this in situations where the ears are back.
• Tack/bit clean up: I know just how impossible it is to make your tack look like it’s brand new, there are limitations to this (very dirty, old tack I will not touch) but I always freshen up the tack a bit in editing.
• Eye enhancement/replacement: Your horse’s eyes are the window to their soul, we always want them to stand out in imagery. Sometimes this requires a bit of extra work with complete replacement if they decide to become a chameleon in an otherwise great shot.
• Floor editing/total replacement: Barn aisles are probably the most used and abused part of a barn, it’s hard to make them look spotless. Sometimes it’s not possible to make the aisle as clean and tidy as when it was brand new and barely inhabited, and that’s okay!

Depending on difficulty, it can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to edit a single image! Your preparation is key to a simplified process (excluding out of control instances like ears, and sometimes aisles). Upon reaching out to schedule, I always send an in-depth guide to help you prepare for your session, and am available nearly 24/7 for any questions or concerns to make sure your portraiture session goes as smooth as room-temp butter! 💙

One industry’s trend becomes another industry’s treasure.
Took a trend from the gun industry and thought I’d apply it to horse industry products for some fun. Needless to say, I’m beyond happy with the results!
