Timeless Equine Photography

For the Atlanta Equestrian.

Because the greatest rides deserve to be remembered forever.

Does your heart still skip a beat when you see your horse in the field?

It’s more than

  • Mucking stalls

  • Pulling hay from your bra

  • Cleaning tack

  • Early morning rides

  • And hours spent with the equine love of your life

It’s a love like no other.

Your horse doesn’t have to be a champion, and your barn doesn’t need to be fancy to deserve beautiful images and artwork.

You simply have to love your horse.

By decorating your home with custom equine art, you’re not just adding to your décor; you’re making a profound statement about who you are and what you value.

When you share your life with a horse, it's more than just rides and ribbons. It's quiet barn moments, it's trust earned over time, it's memories too rich to live on a phone screen.

For the ones who grew up in barns instead of backyards.

If you’re here, I already know one thing about you:
You don’t just own a horse.
You love a horse.
And that love deserves more than snapshots.

It deserves art you can live with—art that lets you hold onto that feeling every single day.

“Courtney is a skilled photographer and very professional. She is kind, empathetic, timely, and willing to work with your schedule. There is absolutely no doubt that she has a passion for her line of work! For those who are specifically looking to have images made into beautiful artwork and are willing to invest in the quality, I would HIGHLY recommend!”

Imagine walking into your home and seeing your horse—

not just captured in a photo, but felt in a piece of art that feels like it belongs there.

Soft sunlight glowing on a polished coat.

You can practically feel the late afternoon breeze.

Feel their breath, warm on your hand.

This is the kind of artwork we’ll create together:
➔ Timeless.
➔ Personal.
➔ A reminder of what made you fall in love with horses in the first place.

Why hire a pro?

You could keep taking photos with your phone…

and have 700 images from between their ears & lots of snapshots that will never be printed.

Or you could call your friend who photographs weddings…

but has no idea how to work with horses, and is honestly terrified of your 1,000 lb best friend.

And you can order all the show photos…

which are GREAT, but aren’t truly portraits that capture the bond you share.

But there is a better way to have your horse photographed.

Imagine instead:

  • An experience crafted by an expert

  • 15+ years of horse experience

  • A selection gallery of 35+ images

  • Heirloom quality custom album options

  • Professionally designed wall art for your home

  • $1,000 credit towards any collection

  • A stress free photo shoot experience

  • And digital files to archive and share on social media

What Makes This Different?

Horses First, Always
Your horse leads the day, not the camera. Sessions are designed around your horse’s comfort, safety, and authentic personality.

Artwork Designed For Real Life
We're not chasing pixels on a screen. We're creating artwork—pieces you’ll see, touch, and treasure for a lifetime (not just scroll past), plus you’ll get digitals files to match.

A Seamless, Guided Experience
From what to wear to what to print, you'll never be left wondering "what now?" You’ll be guided every step of the way, making sure it's easy, joyful, and fully customized to you and your horse.

Because someday, these moments will mean even more.

The rides, the routines, the quiet companionship—they might feel ordinary now.
But one day, you’ll look back and realize they were extraordinary.

“But, my barn isn’t fancy.”

And other Frequently Asked Questions

  • YES! And even better, you’ll get both — digital files AND art. Because you DESERVE both!

    You don’t smile every time you walk pass that drawer of CDs, but you absolutely do when you walk pass your horse’s photo on the wall. Flipping the pages of your album you can feel his furry body while you pet his powerful neck. Your hands remember how warm his fur was after an afternoon in the sunshine. This is what physical artwork can do that digital just cannot.

    Don’t get me wrong, I love digital files too. I want the home screen on my phone to be my horse and I want to share her photos all over social media.

    That’s why collections include high resolution digital files.

  • Yep!

    Your reservation fee covers ALL the animals in your immediate family (including dogs & horses) and I’d be delighted to meet them all!

  • I have one simple rule — I photograph people so long as they bring a pet too!

    I encourage you to get in the photos with your horse. Even if you don’t love being photographed, most of my clients find they love images that show their relationship. And these are the photos that become only more valuable with time.

    I also photograph equestrian high school seniors, families, and children with their horses, ponies, and/or dogs.

  • First, I am so sorry.

    I make every effort to photograph end of life sessions as soon as possible and will do everything in my power to see you quickly. Please letme know when inquiring if you need an urgent session.

Hey horse people!

I have one goal: to create the kind of meaningful artwork I wish I had of the horse who shaped my life for more than 30 years. My heart has always belonged to the ones with four legs.

I’m Courtney – horse girl from the age of 4, dog mom, Atlanta based professional equine photographer, animal rescuer, & official crazy dog lady of the family.

  • I believe the best art starts with real connection.

  • I believe your home should reflect your heart—and your horse is a huge part of it.

  • I believe photos belong in your hands and on your walls, not just on your phone.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve been incredibly honored to take home international awards like:

  • International Pet Photographer Silver Award

  • Silver & Bronze Awards at the Portrait Masters

  • Multiple Top 10 & Top 20 placements in the Embark & Emerge Pet Photography Challenges.

But the real achievements? When my clients say, “This is everything I never knew I needed.”

I know trusting someone with your horse’s story is a big deal. You need someone who knows horses, someone who knows that special connection you can only share with the equine love of your life.
That's why every part of your experience—from your first email to when we meet at the barn to the moment you hold your finished artwork—feels easy, supportive, and celebratory.

This is equine photography designed for you.

There’s a reason you scrolled this far…

You want more than “just a few nice pictures.”
You deserve something better.

Something you can live with.

“I found you on Instagram and completely fell in love with your work. Your love of animals pours into your images. I absolutely love the photos, the love you have for animals translates to your work.”
