The Equine Session
Your story deserves to be told
You are a part of your horse’s story and we can’t wait to help you tell it through your images.
Imagine having a day dedicated to celebrating you and your horse. You’ll set aside the whole day and have a beautiful, special time together. As a professional horse photographer we specialize in relationship portraits and equine branding images for your small business.
There’s a perfect sessions for you, or the horse crazy person in your life! We’ll capture your special relationship so that you’ll have these memories forever.
Video can be included in your photoshoot!
The horse and rider relationship sessions will showcase your special bond and highlight your horse’s sweet temperament. We can take pictures in long flowy dresses or show clothes- the more variety the better! We can even include some riding images too!
As always, there is no time limit! Feel free to include your dog, husband, wife, partner or kids. The more the merrier!
These sessions take place in a barn aisle or arena opening and typically last less than 1 hour. These session will work even if your horse has a black coat! I can also combine multiple subjects into one image so feel free to include all of your horses!
For the high school or college senior who loves her horse.
These session are very customizable! We can capture you with your horse, include black background images, riding images, and of course individual images!
These sessions include 3-5 wardrobe changes. I have a pop up tent that we can bring on location that you can change in!
I can find pretty locations almost anywhere and have worked with a wide range of facilities. The most important thing for pretty images is good light!
Any location within a 1.5 hour radius from Lexington, KY is included in the session fee!
After that I add on my travel fee if the distance is drivable or an extended travel fee if I need to fly to you.
** If you get a friend to book a session the same weekend the travel fee is reduced! **
Senior year, whether high school or college, is such an incredible season full of memories that will leave a lasting impact on your heart: memories with friends, senior events, formals, finals, college night, campus visits and graduation.
It’s such an exciting time in your life and one day you’ll treasure these memories
I want to capture you in beautiful, natural photos that reflect your happiness!
When we book your session we usually pick a couple of rain dates. This is KY and the weather changes quickly- so even if the weather is terrible in the morning we might have beautiful weather by the evening. I know a lot of work goes into getting your horse or pet picture ready so we try to make the call as early as we can.
My Favorite Locations For Portrait Sessions:
Do you have dogs too? Bring them along and we will get the whole family!
Are you nervous about posing? I will guide you through the process so you will feel comfortable and beautiful!
Each session includes:
“Obsessed. It’s been so long since I got new photos with my boy. If anyone in the Lexington area needs photos with their horses, dogs, family, I can’t recommend Molly Evely Photography enough. She made the whole experience so fun and easy including when my very hungry horse decided he needed to lay down and get a snack in the middle of the shoot… not once… not twice… but THREE times. Haha! These animals are such characters and require a sense of humor from both owner and photographer to get gems like these.”
Before For Your Session
General Outfit Rules:
Consider professional hair and makeup for yourself!
Bring a friend, your mom, or another horse person who can help you during the session and hold your horse while you change clothes.
Getting Ready For Your Session
Start with exercise
Next your horse needs a bath and good grooming.
Braids look stunning in white or black background images.
We’ll take pictures with your horse in their bridle so don’t forget to clean the bit! We can also take pictures in a leather halter and lead rope too.
Nylon halters are not recommended.
If you are having unicorn pictures taken I have floral garland and pink or white halters for ponies.
Your Session
Whether in a fairytale dress, sundress, smart casual attire or you’re dressed for a show I want these pictures to capture your style.
If you want bareback pictures make sure you practice prior to the session!
All sessions will begin two hours before sunset for the best light.
Schedule your hair cut, color or style about a week before the session.
Have a friend, or spouse, or partner who wants to come? Bring them along! Everything is more fun with friends

The black background sessions are some of my favorites!!
We create these images in the barn aisle or opening to an indoor arena- so it’s usually a fun and low stress way to start a session.
These images are perfect for people who want to create stunning portraits that are truly a work of art! You can create large statement pieces or series of images. Then you can create an albums so you’ll have all these beautiful pieces of art that really tell the story of your horse’s personality!
