Capturing the Heart of Every Story

Some moments are too precious to fade, and some brands are too unique to blend in. As an equestrian portrait and branding photographer, I specialize in creating images that are more than just beautiful—they’re meaningful.

Whether it’s the quiet, unspoken connection between you and your horse or the passion behind your equestrian business, my goal is to tell your story in a way that feels authentic and timeless. Every horse and rider share a bond that deserves to be preserved, and every brand has a vision that deserves to be seen.


Let’s create something unforgettable—something that captures not just what you look like, but who you are.

I want you to cherish every detail of your horse

—the tiny snip on their muzzle, the curve of their ears, the depth of their eyes. Because every moment is precious, and every photo is a testament to the love and care you have for your horse.

My goal isn't just to take pictures; it's to create timeless memories that will evoke the same emotions even fifty years down the road. I believe that every horse owner deserves to have beautiful photographs that capture the true essence of their best friend, just as you are right now in this moment in time.

A brand that speaks, a presence that lasts

Branding shoots are perfect for barns and businesses looking to enhance their social media and marketing presence through photography and video services. Sessions are tailored to showcase the unique personality and character of your barn or business. 

Whether you're looking to attract new clients, promote your services, or simply elevate your brand image, I’ll work with you to create striking images and impactful videos. From beautifully composed shots of your facilities to candid moments that capture the essence of your business, my goal is to create marketing content that leave a lasting impression.

Branding packages are based on your specific marketing needs and may include both photography and videography. To get started, please use the link below to book a Consultation Call.

Wondering If I'm The Right Fit?

behind the lens

As a proud horse girl myself, I understand that the bond between a person and their horse is more than just a hobby—it's a way of life. It's this deep understanding that sets me apart from other photographers. I don't just capture images; I create timeless memories that will evoke the same emotions even fifty years from now.

I was deeply moved when a client once expressed feeling intimidated by the glamorous images they saw on social media. Here's the truth: every horse and every owner has a story worth telling. Whether your barn is humble or grand, whether your tack is fancy or practical, your journey with your horse is beautiful, and it deserves to be celebrated.

Every horse owner deserves to have beautiful photographs that capture the true essence of their best friend.

“Sophia photographed my horse Oliver and I last summer. She has a way of making you feel so at ease and comfortable throughout the whole process and she really captured that magical relationship between Oliver and I. I will treasure these images forever and highly recommend Sophia to anyone looking to create a lasting memory with their best friend.”
