Hello & Welcome!
I'm Sheila, a lifelong equestrian and artist turned equine photographer. I love working with horses and their riders to capture the special moments they share togther, and to capture each horse's unique personality.
I'm based in Houston, TX and regularly schedule photo sessions at barns and private farms in the greater Houston area including: Katy, Cypress, Tomball, The Woodlands, Conroe, Montgomery, Pinehurst, Fulshear, Brookshire, Simonton, Richmond, Rosenberg, Sugarland, Alvin, & Pearland. Outside of the Houston area? I regularly visit other areas, including Austin, San Antonio, and the Hill Country and am available outside of the Houston area for an additional travel fee.
Other Tidbits
My photography style for Horse & Rider sessions is light and airy, with soft watercolor and film inspired tones. My Equine Portraiture images are a little more dramatic, with their black backgrounds, but I aim for the same softness of film photography. I'll shoot these in your own barn aisle with available light to make it a comfortable and safe experience for your horse.
I make sure every photo session is a positive experience for horse and rider. With a lifetime around horses, I'm comfortable working around horses but remain very safety conscious. I like to give horses the time they need to get comfortable, without letting them get burnt out by the photo session process.
All my packages include all your horse's best photos as high resolution digital files that are perfect for printing large fine art quality prints and canvases. It has become popular for photographers to focus on print sales and limit access to digital files. I think that it’s a great way to sell prints, but I don’t think it’s a great way to serve my photography clients. I love to see your photos in print and I encourage you to order prints from me or to have your own printed, but I won’t limit your access to digital images or restrict their use. We live in a digital world now and that is how we share.
