Teena Whitmore Portraits

Louisiana Equestrian Photographer

The bond between a horse and owner is a
partnership of the heart

- amy b.

Teena was amazing to work with and was so patient and wonderful with my daughter. She took her time and made my daughter feel comfortable. It was my daughter's first time having a shoot like this and her first time around horses. Teena put her at ease and didn't pressure her to do anything she wasn't ready to do. It was an amazing experience that I highly recommend,

I am passionate about creating heirloom portraits that capture the bond between you and your horse.  Whether you are a rider, horse owner, or simply a horse lover, these sessions showcase the connection between human and animal in a unique and beautiful way.

Horses show us grace, beauty, spirit, and fire.  Your experience will include these all.  From traditional black background portraits of your horse to highly stylized themed sessions, your equestrian experience will be one you will never forget.

Never worked with a horse?

I have had many clients that wanted to experience a photo shoot with a horse, but have no prior experience working with horses.  Not a problem!  I work with multiple equestrian centers that provide horses for photo sessions, along with a handler to accompany us throughout the shoot.  You will also have time to warm up to the horse, and I'll give you the option to get on or just pose along side these magnificent animals.  Horses come in many sizes, so I'm sure we can find one for you!

equestrian FAQ

The short answer - YES!  Although my studio focuses on custom artwork and heirloom products, you receive a complimentary digital file of each photo that you choose to purchase. 

Do i get the digital files?

You order what is best for you and suits your lifestyle.  I always recommend pieces for the wall because you see them every day.  It's the best way to enjoy your photos.  Albums, print boxes, and digital files are also popular.

Do I have to order wall art?

Your final cost depends on how many favorites you choose and what display options are best for you.  Our custom equestrian sessions have a $400 booking fee with collections beginning at $950.

How much should I budget for photos?

Of course your can!  I'll even customize the unicorn session just for you!  I provide the unicorn and all his/her accessories, dresses for girls to use during the session, and some treats for your new friend!

Can i book a unicorn session?

Yes!  I have an entire room in my studio devoting to beautiful gowns, crowns, headpieces, and props.  You are welcome to choose anything in the client closet to use during your session.  There are a variety of sizes ranging from children to adults. 

Can i use your gowns with horses?

Definitely!  Practically all equestrian sessions will be onsite.  I travel throughout the US to capture stunning portraits of horses and their families.  

will you come to my barn for a shoot?

Bathe and groom your horse before their session.  Pick out their feet.  Think about how you want their mane and/or tail to be styled.  Don't forget about your horse's tack, too.  We'll plan color and themes ahead of time so you'll know exactly what you need.

how do i get my horse ready for photos?

what if I'm nervous?

It's not unusual to be nervous when working with large animals, especially for novice riders or non-riders.  That is why I only offer custom, full-length equestrian sessions.  I want you and the horse to warm up to each other and have time to enjoy your session.
