Products
I am a big believer in printing your photos. When they are only stored in a folder on your computer they don't come to life and provide joy every time you walk into a room and see them hanging on the wall, or offer a trip down memory lane when you flip through the pages of an album. I offer a variety of products to show off your beautiful photographs! All products offered are created in professional labs that provide archival quality!

FAQs
Below are some of the most frequently asked questions about equestrian portrait sessions. If there are any other questions you may have I'd love to answer them for you!
Why Should I Invest in Portraits with My Horse?
It means so much to me to create portraits of you and your horse, which is something that I don't have for myself. I have created a whole blog post on this topic. Please visit the blog to read more on why this is something every equestrian should have.

How Far in Advance Should I Book My Session?
I am currently booking sessions anywhere from 1 to 6 months out and only take on a limited number of sessions per month to ensure my clients get the best experience possible. To make sure I am available during the time of the year you want, I recommend contacting me as soon as you are interested in booking.
When is Payment Due?
A retainer of $150 is due with your signed contract to reserve your session date. The remainder of the balance is due the day of your session.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HORSE
What if the Weather is Bad?
We can reschedule your session if the weather is not cooperating. Sunny and overcast days are both great for photographs, but rain will put a damper on things.
What if I Don't Want the Session to Take Place at my Barn?
Most of the time my sessions are located wherever the horse is boarded. There are many benefits to doing your session "at home". Your horse will feel much more comfortable and be more cooperative in his normal surroundings as well as have friends around to keep him happy. Sometimes taking a horse to a new location alone is not the most relaxing experience. If you would like to venture off the farm for your session, that is definitely an option! You will be responsible for trailering your horse to the location and getting permission to photograph there.
How Should I Prepare My Horse For My Session?

What Should I Bring to My Equestrian Session?
You should bring a few outfit choices with accessories, touch up makeup, a brush and rag for your horse and your smile! If you want to bring a friend that's fine too!
When Will I Get to See My Photos?
After the session I will post a few sneak peeks on Facebook and Instagram (with your permission). 3-4 weeks after your session I will share my favorite images from your session on my blog, and a few days after that I will send you an email to your online gallery which will contain all of the edited high resolution photos from your session. You will be able to print, download and share the images from your online gallery. Another week after your gallery is delivered you will receive a package in the mail containing all of your goodies included in the package you purchased.
Can I Share the Photos from the Session on Social Media?
Absolutely!! I love it when clients share their pictures with friends. The photos from your session will be yours to share as much as you'd like, wherever you'd like! Credit to Laura Stockemer Photography is always appreciated.
What if I don't Live Near you, But I Want a Session With you?
No worries! I love to travel and would love to come to you and your horse! Send me an email and I can get you a quote for travel. :)
