Equine Portraits
Our Equine Portrait Sessions are designed to create refined, timeless imagery that places full focus on the horse. By eliminating visual distractions, these sessions highlight conformation, expression, and presence—resulting in portraits that feel intentional, powerful, and enduring.
Each image is carefully crafted with controlled lighting and thoughtful composition to showcase the individuality of your horse with precision and restraint. Whether capturing subtle detail or quiet strength, the result is a fine-art portrait that honors the horse as both an athlete and a partner.
To ensure a seamless experience, all sessions include a complimentary prep guide. After your session, you’ll receive sneak peeks on social media, followed by professionally retouched, small watermarked digital images delivered within 2–4 weeks of your shoot.
Each portrait is thoughtfully created to highlight the unconditional love, joy, and companionship your dog brings into your life — preserving those moments as timeless art for years to come.

FAQ
When should I expect to see my photos?
I truly pride myself in a fast turnaround time. When you book your sessions, I give my all from the start to the end. Due to the extensive nature of the edits and being a mom, I tell my clients that my turnaround is anywhere from 3-6 weeks. Sometimes it can be sooner depending on my workload!
I do my best to communicate OFTEN with clients to keep them in the loop of editing time!
I will also post sneak peaks on my social media accounts, so make sure to follow those!
Do you offer a barn discount?
Yes! If three or more people are booking from the same barn everyone will receive 15% off their session. You must be booking at the same location, same date and within the same time frame! So make sure to coordinate with your barn friends to make it happen!
Can I share my photos on social media?
Absolutely! I love seeing my work featured on clients social media feed!
All I ask is that photos are not altered in any way (i.e no filters or special effect editing & no submissions to online contests without prior permission) and please provide credit to Lauren Sumida Photography.
What happens if the weather isn't good?
Sometimes weather decides to have a mind of its own! As our sessions get closer I will be watching the forecast to make sure there is no severe thunderstorms or extreme wind. I will shoot in rain! It creates a beautiful moody effect and can make for a memorable session. However, if you prefer to not have a shoot in the rain, you will be allowed to reschedule a "rain shoot" within the next 7 days.
What if I don't want tack on my horse for the photos?
No problem at all! I have a thin halter that we can use and is easy to remove in post production to give the "naked" look.
How can I best prepare myself and my horse(s) for our shoot?
Lucky for you, I have taken the knowledge and experience of being around horses for the last 12 year and have created a Horse Prep guide to best help you prepare for your upcoming shoot! This is a complimentary guide that I provide to anyone who books a session!
