Session Types

What We Offer

Every session is outdoors on location — we come to you, or meet you at a chosen spot in North Idaho. All horses are groomed and handled by our team.

Family Portraits

Your family, our horses, and the North Idaho landscape. Mini sessions are ideal for Christmas cards and casual portraits. Full sessions give you time for multiple setups and outfits.

Clydesdales or minis available

Senior Portraits

Senior portraits with a horse are a standout in any grad announcement or yearbook spread. Whether they're a horse person or just love the look, we make it work beautifully.

Popular in spring & fall

Equine Portraits

A dedicated portrait session featuring our horses — or yours. Our handler and photographer know how to capture movement, personality, and presence. Your horse or ours.

Bring your own horse too

Engagement Sessions

An engagement session with a Clydesdale or carriage creates images that stand apart from the standard park bench or skyline shot. Ranch settings available.

Perfect pairing with carriage booking

Children's Portraits

Kids and mini horses are a natural pair. A session with Lainey, Leia, or Minimus captures genuine joy — the kind you can't pose or plan. Great for milestone birthdays and holiday cards.

Mini horses perfect for small children

Photographer Add-On

We also work with your photographer. If you have a photographer you love, we supply the horses and handler and coordinate with them directly. No conflict, no competition.

Horse-only rate available

The Experience

What to Expect at Your Session

1
We confirm your date and horses

After booking, we confirm which horses are available and any specific requests — breed, size, color.

2
We arrive early and set up

The horses arrive groomed and ready. Our handler gets them calm and comfortable in the space before your session begins.

3
We introduce you to the horses

No horse experience required. Our handler shows you how to stand, where to put your hands, and how to interact naturally so you look relaxed — not stiff.

4
Two ways to receive your photos

Your photos go out the same day — choose whichever delivery fits your session:

Private Gallery

We upload your images to a private, password-protected gallery you access anytime. Simple link, no account required.

Facial Recognition Delivery

For group sessions, we use event-grade facial recognition software so each person gets only their own photos automatically. No data is stored — the software deletes face data after delivery, and you keep full ownership of your images.

Tips for a Great Session

  • Best light: Golden hour — one hour after sunrise or before sunset. We'll help you pick the right time.
  • What to wear: Earth tones, neutrals, and layers photograph beautifully against the horses. Avoid busy patterns.
  • Footwear: Closed-toe shoes are required around the horses. Boots are ideal and look great in photos.
  • Kids: Let them approach the mini horses first — they're sized right for small hands and build confidence fast.
  • Pets: Dogs are welcome with prior notice. We assess compatibility with the horses case by case.
