Tango. Black Background Equine Woodlawn, TN

Part of Kelly’s session as the winner from my Facebook giveaway was an equine black background session, and she decided she wanted to use her Appaloosa gelding, Tango. Tango has a sweet, old soul that has unfortunately been showing his age a little more, so we took some time to capture him in all his aged glory, so Kelly would always have a few classic images to look back on. We met at Hutchinson Stables in Woodlawn, TN (just outside Clarksville, TN) where she boards and wandered the beautiful pastures, using that golden light and older buildings around the property to create magic. I hate that we can’t slow down time when it comes to our animals, but it’s always an honor when I’m asked to capture that bond and give owners photos to always remember their four-legged best friend.

Black background sessions are 30 minutes long and include 5 hand edited images. This classic style is a great way to capture your horse in a timeless manner. A barn aisle, indoor arena or shaded area are all that is needed for these types of equine shoots, so don’t let the fear of not having ‘good enough’ facilities stop you!

Interested in your own portrait session? Let’s chat! It’s never too early to start planning. Currently, portrait sessions are booking 4-8 weeks in advance, throughout Western Kentucky and Middle Tennessee. Sessions can be taken on location, or we can work together to find a suitable location for you and your horses to trailer to.

I travel throughout western Kentucky and the middle Tennessee area. I’m located directly in Hopkins County, Kentucky, but frequently visit Clarksville, Hopkinsville, Cadiz and Paducah. Black background sessions are offered at a discounted rate when multiple sessions are booked, making these a great option for barn photos.
