📸 2027 HORSE SHOW PHOTOGRAPHY — BOOKING NOW!🐴

Planning your 2027 horse show? Now is the time to get your date on the photography calendar!

I’m now booking 2027 horse show photography and would love to help capture the action, the beautiful horses, the big wins, and all those moments exhibitors will want to remember.

From the show ring to those special in-between moments, my goal is to provide your event with high-quality photography that captures the spirit of competition and the bond between horses and their people.

A 2027 Booking Update

I introduced a booking fee for my horse show photography in 2026, but for 2027, I’ve decided to waive the booking fee.

My goal is to make the process as simple and accessible as possible for show management, especially smaller shows and events working with a limited budget.

I also want to keep photography affordable for the exhibitors who make these events possible. I know what it’s like to want amazing photos of your horse while also being on a limited budget. **I want the average equestrian to have access to quality photos without feeling like they have to break the bank.**

For 2027, show committees receive:

📷 Event photography coverage
📷 A gallery of up to 10 watermarked, web-resolution images
📷 Images perfect for promoting your show online and sharing with exhibitors, sponsors, and your community

🚗 Shows located more than 30 minutes from Poplar Grove, IL will include a $0.65/mile travel fee, based on the total distance traveled to and from the event. Mileage is paid by the show committee at the conclusion of the event.

📅 *July & August availability is LIMITED, so if you're planning a summer show, don't wait to reach out!

Whether you're planning a horse show, pony show, mini show, breed show, or another equine event, let's talk!

📩 Reach out today to check availability and get your 2027 event on my calendar!
