For Photographers

I have always wanted to have professional quality photographs of my horse, and I am so glad I had Aurora come to capture my beautiful mare. Aurora is an excellent and talented photographer, and has an eye for an artistic shot that adds dramatic lighting and contrast. My horse is all black, and I was so impressed with her use of lighting to catch detail and expression. As a horse person, she knows how to present the camera gear without causing fear, keep their attention, and be ready to capture that perfect moment. Thank you for these images that I will cherish forever!

I couldn’t be happier with the incredible portraits Aurora captured of my horses. Her patience, skill, and deep understanding of photography AND horses truly sets her apart. Every image we received reflects not only the beauty of our horses but also their unique personalities. Aurora has a calming presence with animals and plenty of patience for their silly antics, which, let’s be real, is a huge component of this job. But equally important are the attention to detail, lighting, and composition, which resulted in stunning moments in time that I will cherish forever. If you’re looking for someone who can bring out the very best in your equine companions, I highly recommend working with Aurora!

FAQS

How far in advance should we book your photography services?

We recommend booking our photography services as early as possible to secure your preferred date. However, we understand that sometimes plans come together on shorter notice, and we'll do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings whenever possible.

Can we request specific styles for our photography session?

Absolutely! Generally we encourage you to share your vision and preferences with us. Before your session or event, we'll have a consultation to discuss your ideas and style. We will help you know what to expect during the session so that we have the best chance to have cooperative, happy animals!

Do you sell digital artwork?

We believe in both the power of the printed image and the need for digital copies, so, while we don't offer digital only packages, we do offer corresponding digital images with your printed artwork.

What is the typical turnaround time for receiving our edited photographs?

At Manes & Tales we have taken the time to seek out quality products and materials. As a result, our turnaround time will depend somewhat on what is ordered, and we expect most print orders to be ready within 6-8 weeks. However, your digital images will be ready for you within two weeks of ordering.
