About the Backdrop & Props
For the best results, your horse should preferably be able to stand semi-still and calmly in front of the 10' × 7' American Flag Photography Backdrop.
Patriotic props are completely optional! If your horse is comfortable standing in front of the backdrop, you're more than welcome to bring additional patriotic props if you'd like to incorporate them into the photos, but you are not required to bring anything.
However, if you feel your horse wouldn't be able to comfortably stand semi-still in front of the backdrop, please have a patriotic-themed prop available for us to use instead so we can still create portraits that fit the theme of the session.
Optional DIY Equine Photography Halter
I will also have a DIY Equine Photography Halter available for optional use during the session.
This is completely optional and should only be used if you feel your horse will remain soft, responsive, and comfortable while keeping everyone safe. We can start the session with your horse's regular halter and, if they seem comfortable and relaxed with the backdrop, equipment, and activity around them, we can switch to the photography halter.
Your horse's comfort, responsiveness, and everyone's safety will always come first. If at any point the photography halter doesn't seem appropriate for your horse, we simply won't use it.
Location & Travel
📍 Based in West Jordan, Utah
I am happy to travel up to 15 miles to meet clients at their preferred location at no additional charge.
Locations 16+ miles away will require a travel fee. The travel fee will be calculated based on mileage and current gas prices and will be discussed and agreed upon before your session is scheduled.
