Your horse has shaped seasons of your life

in ways few people fully Understand.

The quiet routines, the trust built over years, and the connection that exists without words deserve more than photographs left on a phone.

My approach to equine portraiture is thoughtful, natural, and horse-led, creating imagery that reflects both the beauty of your horse and the relationship you share.

My goal is to create honest artwork, photograph with patience and care, and preserve the moments that matter most.

The result is artwork designed to be enjoyed for years to come.

If you really don’t like being in photos,

I Can change your mind

I promise.

“Can you photograph only my horse?”

Yes, absolutely. But,

Some clients prefer portraits focused entirely on their horse, while others choose to step into a few images together. Both are equally welcome.

I do often encourage clients to consider being photographed alongside their horse, even briefly. The quiet connection between horse and rider, the trust, familiarity, and small in-between moments, often become the images people treasure most over time.

And if being in front of the camera feels intimidating, you’re not alone. My approach to posing, light, and composition is designed to create portraits that feel natural, comfortable, and flattering without feeling forced.

Whether your session centers on your horse alone or the connection you share together, the experience will always be thoughtful, relaxed, and tailored to you both.

Which type of Equine Photography would you prefer?

  • A woman with long curly hair kneeling in a grassy field, touching the nose of a white horse with a dark mane during sunset.

    Outdoor on Location

    Natural, relaxed portraits created in open fields, wooded trails, and meaningful locations that reflect the beauty of both horse and landscape.

  • Close-up of a horse's head and upper neck against a black background, showing brown and white fur, a bridle, and one ear.

    Black Background Portraits

    Striking fine art portraits with a timeless black backdrop designed to highlight detail, expression, and the quiet presence of your horse.

    Senior Portraits

    A personalized portrait experience created to celebrate your senior year while including the horse who has been part of the journey along the way. For more information on Senior Portraits click here.

“My horse can’t be loose…”

That’s completely okay. Most horses are not photographed loose during sessions.

Your horse’s safety and comfort always come first, and unless we are working in a secure enclosed area, horses remain safely handled throughout the session.

I use a fine, unobtrusive lead designed specifically for equine photography that allows for gentle control while remaining minimal in the final image. Any visible elements can then be carefully removed during the finishing process.

There is often more happening behind the scenes than appears in the finished portrait, but the final artwork is created to feel natural, relaxed, and seamless.

    amazingly talented photographer!

    “Tricia is an amazingly talented photographer! Her style highlights the beauty of her subject, in our case it was my daughter and her horse. She was able to really capture the bond between these two in such beautiful ways! Her use of the natural landscape made for a beautiful backdrop as well. HIGHLY recommend Tricia Charles Photography!”

    I will treasure these photos for the rest of time!!

    I can not endorse Tricia enough. I am obsessed with my photos. She captured my horse in such a magnificent way. I am not comfortable in front of the camera at all and tend to HATE any pictures of myself that I didn't take, but she captured so many phenomenal photos of myself with my horse that i am proud to show them off!! She was so amazing to work with, such a calming presence for someone that is so uncomfortable in front of a camera. She was also so patient with my horse and me, as he was a little hard to work with, mainly just wanting to eat grass instead of looking at the camera even with the help of friends trying to get him to look. If you want equine photos, but are also a little self conscious like me, do it! She knows what she is doing. I will treasure these photos for the rest of time!!
