A Celebration of Your Companion

Every partnership tells a story. Whether your horse has been beside you for a lifetime or only a season, these portraits celebrate the trust, devotion, and quiet connection that make your relationship unlike any other. Together, we'll create artwork that honors that bond for years to come.

Here what others say:

  • 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!”
    -Stephanie H.

  • 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!!”

Soft neutrals, earth tones, and coordinated color palettes tend to work especially well in natural settings. You'll receive wardrobe resources and inspiration boards to help guide your selections.
