Horses and Their People

Creating art for horses and their people in the greater Boise / Treasure Valley, ID areas

The bond between a horse and their person is unlike any other.

It's built through quiet mornings at the barn, countless hours in the saddle, whispered conversations, hard-earned trust, and a partnership that often can't be put into words.

Whether you've grown up together, competed side by side, or simply found your heart horse, these portraits celebrate the relationship you've built and the memories you've created together.

With more than 30 years in the horse world, I understand those moments because I've lived them too. My goal is to create authentic, heartfelt portraits that preserve not only how your horse looked, but what it felt like to be together.

My daughter had a session with Shannon that was not only joyful, creative and professional, but that yielded incredibly beautiful senior portraits. Shannon is a true artist. She beautifully captures both the essence of her subjects, as well as her settings, in her photography. My daughter's portraits looked like they could be published in a magazine!

We live in Georgia but we flew out to Montana where Nancy’s horse now lives and are we ever happy that we did. Once there, we met with Shannon and learned she had completely staked out the shoot location beforehand and knew where and when the best backgrounds and lighting would be. She suggested an early morning start time so the lighting would be perfect.

During the shoot she led us through all the motions, poses, locations and expressions and knew exactly what result she wanted to achieve. She made us all feel very comfortable and we had a ton of fun. The resulting photos are absolutely stunning - I would recommend Shannon to anyone thinking of getting highly professional portraits taken.

Shannon is the rare photographer that captures the essence of what she is photographing. Her images are a window to the soul of the subject she is photographing. Amazing!
