Forget pretty. Let’s make it powerful.
Let’s be real—most equestrian portraits all look the same.
Soft light. Serene smiles. Pasture perfect.
It’s lovely, sure… but is it you?
If you’re here, I’m guessing you want something with a little more grit.
A little more edge.
A little more you.
Unbridled Power was built for riders who show up fierce, not fragile.
These are bold, editorial-style portraits that capture strength, intensity, and fire—not just your horse’s beauty, but yours too.
If you’re the kind of equestrian who trains hard, rides harder, and wants to be seen as the athlete you are… this is your moment.
Not Your Average Barn Portrait
Soft smiles in dreamy fields? Not today.
You’ve seen those sessions—pretty pictures that don’t say much.
But you say something when you walk into the ring. Your posture, your presence, your partnership with your horse? It’s all earned.
That’s what I set out to capture.
Not just “a girl and her horse,” but the Rider, the Athlete. the Icon – the determined, driven, slightly sweaty powerhouse behind the reins.
These sessions are all about that edge.
The confidence. The connection.
The kind of portraits that stop people mid-scroll and make them say, “Whoa. She’s serious.”
Equestrian Art for Athletes
Because you don’t just ride – you train, you compete, you show up.
This isn’t just about taking a photo.
This is about creating something that reflects everything you’ve worked for.
A visual legacy of your athleticism, your grit, and your growth.
So many equestrian portraits lean into softness.
Unbridled Power leans into strength.
These images are designed to make a statement.
Whether you’re an ambitious teen headed to college, chasing sponsorships, or just want to feel how powerful you are… this is it.
This is your spotlight.
So What Makes These Portraits Different?
When you book an Unbridled Power session, you’re not just showing up to smile at your horse.
You’re stepping into a creative space designed to showcase you in full force.
Here’s what to expect:
Dramatic lighting, custom-crafted for impact
Confident posing direction (no modeling experience needed)
A focus on strength, emotion, and style—not perfection
These portraits feel more like an editorial spread than a traditional horse girl session.
They’re built to make you feel like the main character—because you are.
This Is Your Legacy Portrait
Maybe you’ve had photos taken before. But not like this.
Unbridled Power sessions are about capturing the version of you that shows up and gives it your all.
The version who rides through the setbacks, celebrates the breakthroughs, and leads with courage.
This is the portrait you’ll look back on years from now and say, “Yeah… that was me. And I was damn proud of her.”
So don’t book this just because it sounds cool. Book it because it means something.
To you. To your story. To everything you’ve worked for.
