Lily’s connection with Willow, a fancy little Chestnut, and Murphy, a truly gentle guy, speaks volumes of her dedication and love for the equestrian life.
Read MoreGrowing up, horses were the heartbeat of my family, especially between my mother and me. They were our shared passion, our common ground, and the backdrop to many of our happiest moments together. Watching Kelly and Ava interact with Roland, Jake, and Pilgrim, I couldn't help but see reflections of the relationship my mother and I share. Like us, Kelly and Ava find their best times together in the company of horses, an experience I know all too well and cherish deeply.

They are a tribute to the horse that introduced your children to the world of riding, offering them their first taste of responsibility, trust, and the unbridled joy of equestrian life. These sessions honor the horse that has always been your reliable confidant, the one you could count on for safety, comfort, and an understanding beyond words. The place you disappeared to when life got a little rough and the barn was your place of calm.

Read MoreSeveral years ago I had the opportunity to create equine and equestrian art with Tina and her horses and pups in St. Augustine, Florida. We created a specific piece that was printed on a vivid metal surface and hung in her home. When her heart horse, Skip a gorgeous buckskin, came into her life she just knew she needed a companion piece to the one we created in the past. I was excited to work with Tina again and couldn’t wait to spend a little time in her positive energy and in the path of her big smile! Not to mention… Skip is such a gorgeous boy!
Read MoreI’ve never been a knick knacky kinda gal… personally, I like for the items I bring in to my home to have a story behind them. To bring back a memory of an experience I don’t want to forget.

Connie was attending The Great Florida Cattle Drive, Reunion Ride held at The Florida Agricultural Museum in Palm Coast, Florida.

Seriously, how amazing is that and why aren’t more horse friends doing it? Kira with Onsite Muse came out to the barn to do everyone’s hair and makeup and while I was waiting to start the session I kept smiling at all the laughter coming from them as they talked about their favorite times together spent with horses! We did a combination of green space images and black background portraits and Melissa did a couple of wardrobe changes to to fit the mood of the day. I hope they always remember this day and the laughter when they look at the wall art we created together.
Read MoreHave you ever thought, “When is the best time to gather the horses, dogs, and all the family together for a family portrait?” Is it too hot this summer? Should we wait until December for a Christmas card?
Maybe you’re holding out for the perfect time. When the kids or grandkids are old enough to pose. The horses are trained enough to stand still. And, the dogs can sit calmly at your feet.
Are you looking for the:
Perfect time.
Ultimate day.
Clearest weather.
Ideal situation to gather everyone together for the perfect photo.
Stop that thinking right now. Because that PERFECT scenario is never going to happen. And you will NEVER have family photos to cherish memories if you keep up this thinking. NOW IS THE TIME. Right now. Not next year.
Now is the exact time to hire a professional equestrian photographer for an equine family portrait session.
Here are 5 reasons why...
Read MoreWhen I met with Kirsten to discuss her session goals for her equine photography portrait session with Fast Horse Photography, one thing was very clear. She really wanted to attempt to create an art piece that showcased her beautiful horses all together! Working with five horses can be a bit tricky when you want them all to stand quietly right up next to each other, but most importantly, one of her horses wasn’t doing well health wise. We worked together to create a timeframe that would work to pull it all together and I’m excited we were able to get it all done! I can’t wait to see it in print very soon!

Earlier this year I photographed Rhylie with her family at Need More Land and Cattle Co. located in St. Johns, Florida. A full equestrian family portrait was one of our goals for this session and we nailed it by including Rhylie’s mom, Joni and her brother, Marek and of course horse, Brownie and her two dogs, Rocko and Rollo. Images from this session were used to create a mantle piece family portrait in a beautiful handmade frame and additional print products including the sweetest holiday card!

Read MoreI enjoy being who I am! I feel like God created people all different and I get to represent both black and white people because that is how he made me.

Maybe they will see me and know that all kinds of people can ride if you love horses.
