A preview to the solution that I am about to offer to small businesses and entrepreneurs in the horse world, so that their business is best prepared for the future.
CHANGES TO MY EQUINE PORTRAITURE: COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS
The Coronavirus - I take this very seriously, so here are some important changes made to my Equine Portraiture service with Covid-19 precautionary measures.
I expect each individual that I work with this year to take our health and safety as serious as I am.
If you have any questions about my new rules, let me know.
Sorry about the rumbling noises in the back, had some tractors working around us.

ONE OF TWO PARTS TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES HAS BEEN FINISHED
As part of a 2 stage process in helping small businesses and entrepreneurs in the Equestrian world during these trying times, I have finished the first of two solutions and should be announcing it soon.
The second one (which is already under way) is the big one but both solutions cater to different types of business owners in terms of their goals and where they would like to take their business now and in the future.

EQUINE PORTRAITS DURING THESE TOUGH TIMES CAN HELP PULL US THROUGH
Though this crisis put a damper on many things, I am still open for business. A lot of the equine events scheduled for this summer have been cancelled due to the effects of the pandemic and my extra protective health measures for everyone’s safety; however, I am still available for Equine Portraiture, only now it is 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱-𝟭𝟵: 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀.
One thing that the COVID-19 pandemic reminds me of is to not take things for granted. Everything seemed to change dramatically overnight from the disease. In a similar way, horses hurt themselves, come down with a sickness, euthanasia, or an accident might occur that would change our lives forever.
Sometimes these alterations happen slowly, such as foals maturing, and we can never reverse time to go back to those days. Freezing those precious moments before the time runs out will prove to be priceless. A professional photo shoot will capture memories that you can hang on your wall for years to come.
Having professional quality photographs that capture memories of you and your horses holds more value than (for instance) twenty poorly taken pictures of your hooved friends. It is more of a “thank you” to them than a “self-gift”. A thank you to them for all the beautiful moments when your lives connected.
Imagine having a well done piece to look at when visiting your horses is limited, such as in these times. I am fully aware that not every horse owner out there is currently able to visit and ride their horses during this crisis and it's having the privilege to look at professional photos of you and your horses at any given time, from any place is what makes the investment of having a photo shoot with your horses unforgettable.
The warmth that it fills your heart with is just something you can't put a price tag on. Perhaps for those of us without the blessing of being able to live at the same place as our horses, being able to look at a photo of them every morning will set a better mood for the day.
Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity while you can to have you and your horse's story told by an established Equine Artist who has a unique ability to tell stories.
