Sessions are conducted by appointment only.
Evening hours are available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Session fees
will depend on the number of subjects and required time to create the
results you desire. We invite you to contact us to discuss your ideas.
Session fees vary between $45 and $250
~
All sessions are secured with full payment of the appropriate session fee to
reserve your sitting day and time.
We'll Come to You!
Arrangements can easily be made if your needs require us to travel to your
home, barn or favorite outdoor spot. Oftentimes it is a location that holds
special meaning for you. This could apply to family portraiture, images with
your horse or animals, or with prized possessions such as cars, motorcycles
or an aircraft.
Some of our clients have organized a "gathering" to include other families
or business associates to help defray the costs of the session. So,
depending on the time you want to spend photographing and the kinds of
images you are looking for, we feel confident we have a program for you.
If your location is within a 1 hour drive from my home, we absorb travel
expenses. Beyond that (including assignments out of state)
all travel expenses are billable.
Call our office to discuss your ideas and check availability of dates.
Individual / Single Family Session: Approximately 90 minutes. During
this time you may choose to have family and individual photos taken and
include the horses and dogs please! Images can be formal or informal or
both. If the session includes your horse we can create head shots or photos at
liberty. No limit to the number of images taken. (Multiple family sessions
should consider the Shared Sessions in this section, or
Special Event coverage which is outlined a little further down the
page).

I accept assignments on a limited basis as the official photographer
for your event. They may include, but are not limited to,
hunter/jumper, Driving Events, and Eventing. My time is focused on capturing
your event while image sales is handled online through my website. Previews
are usually posted 3 days after the event and orders are processed through a
professional lab to ensure a quality product. Read what customers
are saying about this service:
"This is awesome! We love your images but don't always have time to stop by
the sales tent during a show. This is a time saver". (J. Olson)
"This is a great process. It's easy and I can do this on my own time without
having to squeeze something else in during a show! And your photographs are
beautiful! I'm going to tell everyone you're the person to see!" (K.
Herrington)
"Oh Pat, this is incredible. No pressure to make decisions during show
hours! And I just found the 'zoom' and 'favorites' features. Awesome!"
(J. Funk)
Please feel free to contact me to discuss your specific needs.
