Sessions For Equestrian Professionals

Professional pricing is structured to be efficient for advertising and promotion of your horses, breeding stock, and/or farm. This pricing is separate and different from portrait pricing due to the fact that these images used for sales or promotion and should be updated more frequently as the horse progresses in training, so the "shelf life" of these images is much shorter.

These sessions are a good choice for farms on a smaller budget with horses to sell or promote, and who want some options when using images for publication. Typically, the images chosen to advertise a horse are a headshot, a conformation shot, and either an under saddle or liberty shot.

Digital files are included with all of the Professional packages. Each file is a package of a high resolution one suitable for printing, and the same image in a low resolution file suitable for internet use. Click here for digital file information.

Travel fees will apply to sessions outside of Dane county. Please contact me for details.

Basic Professional Session... $75

This is a nice option for individuals with one or two horses to sell or promote or who would like to have horses photographed more frequently, such as young horses that change rapidly.

Visits subject to scheduling. Not transferable from year to year or person to person.

Equine Ad Design

Using Images

A good ad for anything - horse for sale, training or breeding services, stallion - anything, needs to start with good images. Whether I provide the images, or you have already have some, they have to be of sufficient quality. This means that, in addition to showing the subject in a favorable fashion, they have to be of a high enough resolution to reproduce well in print or on the web. Video captures, low resolution files, and images that do not meet the standard of good photography (dirty animals, poor choice of setting, poor lighting, etc.)  can appear unprofessional and may hinder your chances of a favorable client response. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it if you have questions about whether your images are suitable. I require that any images taken by a professional be supplied with releases. I can not use images that have not been released by their creators. 

Fees

The creative fees for ad design are variable and based on the complexity and technical difficulty of the ad. Ad materials must be received at least 2 weeks before the publication deadline. Requests and materials received after the deadline will be subject to a $25 late fee. Please This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
