Maine Equine Photography

By Jennifer Bechard 

After more than twenty years working with horses, I’ve learned that the most meaningful images come from truly understanding them, their movement, their personality, and the bond they share with their people.

That understanding shapes every session I photograph. Each experience is thoughtfully planned from start to finish so both horse and rider can feel comfortable and the process never feels rushed.

Horse owners wanting to preserve something deeply personal and equine business owners needing imagery that reflects the quality of their work will find the same thing here: a photographer who cares as much about your horse as you do, and a process designed to feel easy from the first conversation to the moment your finished images are delivered.

Every horse deserves to be seen exactly as they are

Say Hello

Your horse is not just a companion, they’re part of your heart, your story, your everything. Capturing this bond requires someone who truly understands the moments highlighting their beautiful spirit. Every session celebrates your partnership, resulting in timeless images that honor your connection and become lasting treasures for your home.

Horse & Rider

Fine art sessions beautifully capture your horse’s elegance in the natural setting of your barn aisle, detailing them through a variety of angles. For individual  horses, multiple horses, or other beloved pets, every image is crafted with care and enhanced through meticulous editing. The result? A timeless work of art that celebrates your horse’s beauty and grace, creating something truly unforgettable.

Equine Fine Art

Your horses are your business, and the way they are photographed tells potential clients everything about the standard of care you bring to your work. I come to your barn as an equestrian who understands what you do and why it matters, which means I know how to photograph your horses, your facility, and your work in a way that feels authentic rather than staged. From website imagery to social media content to a statement piece for your barn wall, every image is made to reflect the quality and character of what you have built.

"Really enjoyed working with Jennifer and man is she great at what she does! She is, and always will be, my go to photographer. Her photo sessions are tailored to fit exactly what I am looking for in a stress free, productive manner. Instead of “quality over quantity” you get both…a large quantity of only the highest quality images.”

testimonial

With years of experience capturing the deep connection between horses and their people, I’ve learned that every equestrian has unique wants and needs for their portraits. That’s why the process begins with a conversation.

We’ll discuss your vision, your horse’s personality, and the details of your session. I’ll answer any questions you have and help guide you toward the perfect way to showcase your images—whether for your home, barn, or business. From the start, we’ll plan with the end in mind, ensuring your portraits are as meaningful and timeless as the bond you share.

LET's CONNECT

What To Expect

Once your date is reserved, we'll connect to discuss potential locations for your session. I typically recommend choosing one location to keep things focused, but if it’s somewhere I haven’t worked before, I’ll visit ahead of time to assess the light and determine the best time of day for the shoot.

If you're unsure about the perfect spot but have a general idea of the look you want, just let me know! I’d be happy to recommend a few locations that align with your style and the atmosphere you're aiming for with your equine portraits.


LOCATION


I've put together some helpful tips for selecting your equestrian outfits, and I'd be happy to share them once you book your session. Think about showcasing your unique style—whether it’s a polished riding look with tailored breeches and a fitted jacket, or something more casual like a favorite sweater with your boots, or even a classic western vibe with a great hat and denim. The key is to wear what feels like you—something that makes you feel confident, comfortable, and proud of your connection to your horse. I want your outfits to complement the natural bond between you and your horse, so that it really shines through in your images!

Your session will be fully planned out before we start shooting. Together, we will make sure that you love your outfits, the location, and that the season fits your aesthetic. We start with beautiful light either early morning or a few hours before the sun goes down.

On the day of your session, we'll connect to make sure the weather still looks like it's going to cooperate. We'll exchange numbers and finalize our meeting location. Please plan for your session to take about two hours from start to finish. 

The SEssion

What you want is what you will buy, there is no hard sell. My job is to take beautiful photographs that you will love. After your session, your photos are carefully hand-edited by me to achieve optimal imagery. Then we will meet again at your viewing & ordering appointment so I can share the best of what we captured. This is the time when you will finalize your portrait order, and I’ll be right there to help you sort through the images and make final decisions on what will look best with your decor. I’ll show you actual size and pair images together for a stunning album or wall gallery. I can’t wait for you to see!
