Hold on to this moment...
The bond you share with your horse is like none other, and it’s a feeling you will always want to remember. The touch of their soft nose, the way they make you laugh, how it feels to ride together through golden fields at sunset…
Now imagine spending an unforgettable evening together creating beautiful photographs that capture that feeling.
We never know how much time we have left to enjoy our beloved animals and as a fellow horse lover, I understand what it’s like to love a horse deeply and want to hold on to this moment forever. I want to help you always remember the simple, beautiful moments that make your relationship special.
Portrait Sessions
Custom Portrait Session
When you love your horse like family and want beautiful, heartfelt photographs, book a portrait session so you can always remember the remarkable bond you share.
Remember Session
We never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory, so book a special session for your horse who is over 24 years old or terminally ill.
Your Photos as Custom Artwork, Not Just Files
I know how busy life can get and how hard it is to find time to print your photos to get them displayed as art on your walls.
As a full-service studio, I personally guide you through each step of your photography experience until you have beautiful, custom art to hang on your walls and a custom-designed album to enjoy and share with family and friends.

“I still remember the first photo Shelley sent to me, and how I caught my breath at the beauty she captured, but even more, how she was able to capture the relationship between my daughter and her horse. These photos are lifetime mementos that we will treasure always.”

"Shelley Paulson is by far the most amazing equine specific photographer I have ever met! I had never had pictures taken of my horse and I, and was more than a little nervous and unsure of how they would turn out. Shelley created some memories, little snapshots of time, that I can hold on to forever. Without a doubt, I can recommend Shelley Paulson for any type of photography you may have in mind! I honestly can not wait until I get another opportunity to use Shelley's services!"

“Words are inadequate to thank you for the beautiful job you have done on Keara and Harley’s pictures. The album is so beautiful and will be a lovely reminder of this time in Keara’s life. We are so impressed too with the beautiful way you present everything - no detail goes unheeded. Thank you again, with all our hearts...”

“The images from our photo session not only will always capture memories and will be artwork for a lifetime in our home. As our 5-year-old daughter transitioned from her miniature horse to big horses you captured her heart and spirit with such beauty behind the lens.”

"Shelley is an amazing photographer with a special eye for glorious lighting. She sees right into personalities and relationships and her photos reflect the true nature of her subjects. She truly has a gift. Every photo she takes is a work of art. Not to mention that she is professional, personable, and makes you feel like you are her only client."

"I have worked with Shelley two times. My senior pictures with my first horse were amazing and my second session with both of my horses was even more wonderful! Shelley is able to capture the bond you have with your horse in a beautiful manner. The images have brought me to tears. Shelley is an amazing photographer with a huge warm heart! I am so glad she captured the pure joy and love I feel for my animals, as well as the silly moments I shared with them. I cannot thank her enough for being so kind, welcoming, and genuine. I recommend her 100%!"
