A service made specifically for all businesses in the Equestrian world - big or small. We all know when it comes to profit gain in a business, good photographs matter and your photograph quality sends a message to your customers. They can ultimately decide if someone buys from you or goes to one of your competitors. Professional photos not only give you a better return on your investment but they increase your credibility.
Here are 5 REASONS why every business should invest in commercially licensed professional photos.
1) BRAND IDENTITY
Your brand is not just your logo, it also has a personality and that personality communicates with your audience all the time. By tapping into the use of commercial photography, you are instantly boosting your brand, resulting in more traffic and this in turn increases profits.
2) MAKE IT PERSONAL
While stock images are certainly helpful in some ways, it’s not the greatest route to take when showing your brand. What happens when your same photos are seen on another website? People visit your website to learn more about you and perhaps to connect with YOU and unfortunately stock images don’t show who YOU truly are.
3) PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS ARE COST EFFECTIVE
Yes, you read that right. Now, it’s easy for business owners to say no to using professional photographer’s because of the upfront costs - I understand. But, what if I told you that it can actually become one of the most cost-effective ROI’s (Return on Investments) for your business? By having a collection of professionally taken photos, it can create a buzz surrounding your brand, while communicating your value through effective brand recognition.
4) PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD
It’s simple really, professional photographer’s have the gear and the eye to make your products and services look legit and at it’s absolute best. Go the extra step in making that impression, to not only get people talking about your products and services but have them wanting more.
5) CUSTOMER APPRECIATION
Commercial photography should always be included as part of your marketing budget! When your customer’s see that you are putting your brand’s visual imagery as a priority, they will show you their appreciation for your efforts in acknowledging the clear distinct benefits of commercial photography for your business.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER:
1) I show up on location 30 minutes prior to each booking. For example, if your booking is for 10:00AM, that means that I will show up at 9:30AM. I do this so that I can scout the location for the best spot(s) for us to work from and it gives me time to settle in.
2) It is up to YOU to have your horse(s) fully ready (caught, brought in to the barn, cleaned and groomed) and you to be in your full clothing attire before our set time. Your booking time is when we start TAKING PICTURES.
*Any additional time required for getting you and/or your horse ready will be billed at $25.00 per 15 minutes.* No exceptions.*
