Custom Wall Art That Screams ‘Best Horse Ever’
(Because We Both Know They Are)

 

Looking for the perfect piece of art to showcase your beloved horse? At Ride the Sky Equine Photography, we know your walls deserve more than a bland print from some big-box store. They deserve something that boldly proclaims, “Yes, I have the best horse ever!”

Whether it’s a professional studio session capturing every majestic muscle or candid moments of your horse living his or her best life galloping (or napping—we don’t judge) in a field, our equine photography sessions are all about turning your horse into wall-worthy art

Picture This: You walk into your home, and BAM! There it is—a portrait so stunning it practically stops time. Your walls? Officially the best looking part of your house.  Your friends are all like, “Wow! You’re horse is stunning!” Meanwhile, you’re secretly grinning because, yeah, you do have the best horse ever.

From Tennessee’s rolling hills to North Georgia’s scenic pastures, we’re here to help you celebrate your horse’s unique spirit. Because let’s face it, your horse deserves to be celebrated in style.

So, let’s ditch the dull decor and create something so remarkable that even your horse would approve (if, you know, they could talk).

Equestrian Portraits That Actually Get It

 

Dreaming of horse & rider portraits or high school equestrian senior portraits that capture the real magic between you and your horse?

Wonder how you can get images that aren’t the stiff, awkward ones where you look like you’re auditioning to be a mannequin and your horse looks like they’re about to stage a snack revolt…or possibly just fall asleep from boredom?

Whether you’re looking for heartfelt equestrian portraits, or equestrian senior portraits that scream “legendary,” we’re here to deliver.

Let’s be honest: taking a fantastic image of both you and your horse isn’t a job for amateurs.

You need a pro who understands that horses are more than just props—they’re personalities. Big ones. And you? You’re the human they somehow tolerate. (Congrats on that, by the way.)

At Ride the Sky, we create portraits that celebrate your bond and make both of you look like you belong in a magazine spread.

These aren’t just pictures you’ll post once on social media and forget—they’re the kind of portraits that will make you stop and stare at your walls for years to come.

Hi, I’m Betsy!

Hey there! I’m Betsy, the horse photographer behind Ride the Sky Equine Photography.

When I’m not out in the field, capturing the perfect shot by doing some crazy antics (yes, I’m a bit desperate for attention), or editing like a madwoman, you’ll find me hanging with Nitro, the best dog ever.

Ride the Sky Equine Photography provides a full-service portrait experience, from start to finish. I’ll be by your side every step of the way, helping you select the perfect wardrobe, choose the ideal location, and strike the right poses. No worries about what to do with those awkward hands here.

And when it’s time to order your gorgeous artwork, rest assured, I won’t leave you hanging. With my knowledge of equine behavior, and expertise and guidance in posing both horses and humans, we’ll make the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Together, we’ll create stunning artwork that captures the essence of your equine companion and tells the beautiful story of your bond.

Whether you’re seeking senior pictures with your horse, equestrian portraits, artwork featuring your horse, or pet portraits I’ll ensure that your entire experience is customized, fun, and luxurious.

With a background in entrepreneurship, marketing, and teaching, I also love working with photographers who are ready to level up their businesses. That side of my world looks a little different: I create digital tools, online courses, and mentoring programs that take the migraine out of marketing, business workflows, goal setting and in-person sales. Translation? I teach photographers how to build profitable businesses with the overwhelm (and definitely without the ick). Because everything is digital or online, photographers can access tools, courses, and mentoring no matter where they live.

I’m based in Chattanooga, TN, and can frequently be found in Knoxville, TN, Dalton, GA, Rome, GA, and nearby regions in East Tennessee and North Georgia.

You can learn more about me here and what it is like to work with Ride the Sky here. Ready to make some magic together? Click below and let’s chat!

Pet Photography for Chattanooga’s Fur Families

When our horse-loving clients started asking, “Hey, can you photograph my dog, too?” we couldn’t resist. Because honestly, how do you say no to those puppy-dog eyes—or clients who know their pets are the real MVPs of the family?

Every day, we either find hay in our hair or dog hair in our mouths (and on especially good days...both). We’ve been accidentally French-kissed by more dogs than we can count and had entire afternoons stolen by packs of puppies.  Pets aren’t just part of our job – they are part of our lives.

From a portrait of your goofy Golden Retriever, your cat who thinks they’re royalty (spoiler: they are), to a goat with a knack for photobombing, every pet has a story. And that story deserves to be told—with style.

 

We’ve been creating custom portraits for pet lovers around the East Tennessee and North Georgia areas for years. 

From Chattanooga’s scenic spots to cozy sessions at home, we create portraits that showcase the unique charm of your pets – either solo or with their favorite humans.

These aren’t just snapshots—they’re art pieces designed to make you smile every time you see them. And yes, of course, your pet deserves that kind of spotlight.

For Photographers Who Want to Rein in the Chaos

 

 

 

Running your business doesn’t have to feel like a hot mess. With evergreen tools, courses, and mentoring, I’ll help you price with confidence, market with personality, and sell without the ick.

I know how overwhelming it can feel to wear all the hats: photographer, marketer, salesperson, bookkeeper, scheduler (and maybe even dog wrangler). I’ve been there too, and let me tell you – winging it only gets you so far.

That’s why I created simple resources that guide you step by step, so the business side of photography feels more like a roadmap than a migraine.
