You want horse and rider shots in addition to black or white backgrounds of your horse.
You've never felt super confident in front of the camera so you avoid it every chance you get.
When you do find a picture of yourself you can tolerate, it's usually one of a more candid nature.
You don't have much interest in the glamour of it, you just know you love your horse and this part of your life is important and it should be captured.
I do regularly travel outside of North Carolina for trips, often without any additional fee, so if you are interested in a session outside of NC, please still feel free to contact me!

"She doesn’t try to make you look like someone who you aren’t. There is no awkward posing, the entire shoot was fun and relaxing..."
– Kendal K. (Boerne, TX)
She always takes the time to get to know her clients and what they want with their pictures. Leigh has done several photo shoots of mine, and every one she has captured the moment perfectly.

I want to know all the little details so I know what to capture. If you tell me your best day ever involves your horse and a book, then let's go hang out in a field and take some chill pictures with your pony and your favorite books.
I'll help you craft a session that feels like you based on the details I can get from you and your goals. By the time we get to your session, you and I are pretty familiar with each other so I don't feel like some stranger with a camera.
Have you ever gotten a bunch of images that you love but just sort of end up hanging out in some folder on your computer and the few that you really really loved maybe pop up on your Facebook memories but that's about it?
After your session with Leigh Fields Photography, we'll hop on a Zoom call and sort your images into categories together until we have those 15 (or more!) really really loved images picked out. Then, I'll guide you on how they may best be used other than just digitally..
If you're a senior, you may want an album to carry this chapter of your life with you off to school, or for your Mom to have on her coffee table when she's missing you.
If you're someone who's waited all your life for the special horse you have now, maybe we find a special spot on your wall to put a portrait. I'll help you visualize what that might look like and guide you on what materials would be best based on your home decor, your budget, and the image itself.
Fifteen fully edited high-resolution digitals are included in your session. By "fully edited," I mean some mad Photoshop skillz are included in every image you choose to keep.
While you are in no way expected to spend more, many end up investing a bit more at their reveal to do more with their images; often a custom heirloom leather album or a high quality canvas.
Your budget is something we'll chat about early on so we can get on the same page. If you tell me your budget is wrapped up in the session fee, then we won't spend too much time planning out something like an album.
Professional, skilled, Photoshop magic is included at no extra cost to your order to ensure your photos are perfect. Don't stress about the pimples, the scars, the slobber, the background distractions, the one ear back, I've got you!
However long we have the golden hour for (and your horse's patience, ha).
Nope! If you want black backgrounds, then I'll show up a bit before the golden hour starts to make sure we have enough time for them.
Sure! I usually recommend keeping it to 1-2 to avoid wasting any of that precious golden hour.
Your session fee includes 15 of your images fully edited in a high-resolution format with print release, but you are welcome to purchase more ahead of time at a discount or at your reveal after your session. This is less common, though, as 15 seems to scratch that itch just fine for most!
I like to get to know you a bit first to make sure we're a good fit before you book, so go ahead and schedule a pressure-free information phone call with me here.
I usually recommend we keep our session to 1-2 horses because we'll shoot during the golden hour which tends to be fleeting.
Yes! Branding photography has the exact same prices and process as a "normal" session, so we can mix and match what we do a little bit.
