There’s nothing quite like senior portraits with a horse. For Mya, including her favorite lesson horse Teddy was a must. These two share a special bond—one built over years of early mornings, long rides, and quiet moments at the barn.

Their session in Penfield, NY at Whispering Pines Stables. Golden fields, soft light, and a calm breeze set the perfect scene. It wasn’t about posing—it was about capturing connection.

Soft Morning Light

Early morning is one of my favorite times for sessions like this. The light is even and flattering, and the barn is peaceful before the day begins.

Mya walked Teddy through a grassy field as the sun peeked over the trees. The soft glow lit them perfectly. Everything felt calm, unhurried, and real.

A Bond Worth Celebrating

Senior portraits with your horse are more than a photo session. They’re a way to honor a bond that’s been years in the making. Horses are more than pets—they’re partners, teachers, and loyal friends.

If you’ve spent your teen years riding, grooming, and growing up with your horse, they deserve a place in your senior portraits.
