Photography Services
Specialized photography for the subjects you love
At Howard Photography, we understand that every subject has a unique story to tell. Whether it's the boundless energy of your canine companion, the elegant power of your equine partner, or the cherished connections within your family, we bring expertise, patience, and artistry to every session. Our goal is to create images that don't just document a moment—they capture the essence, the emotion, and the beauty that makes each subject extraordinary.
Canine Photography
Dogs are more than pets—they're athletes, companions, and family members with personalities as unique as our own. Our canine photography services celebrate everything that makes your dog special, from their playful spirit to their competitive drive.
Portrait Sessions
Capture your dog's personality in stunning portraits that showcase their character and charm in their favorite outdoor environment. We work to bring out the best in your canine companion and understand dog behavior to create a comfortable, fun atmosphere that allows their true personality to shine through. Perfect for creating lasting memories, holiday cards, or simply celebrating your beloved friend.
Sessions include time for your dog to warm up, get comfortable with the camera, and show us their best poses—whether that's a regal stance, a goofy grin, or those soulful eyes that melt hearts. We accommodate all breeds, ages, and temperaments, working at your dog's pace to ensure they're relaxed and happy throughout the session.
Action & Sport Photography
For the canine athletes, we specialize in capturing the incredible athleticism and focus of dogs in action. From agility competitions and flyball tournaments to dock diving and disc dog events, we freeze those split-second moments of peak performance. Our fast shutter speeds and sport photography expertise ensure sharp, dynamic images of your dog soaring over jumps, weaving through poles, or catching that perfect frisbee grab.
We're equally adept at capturing the joy of everyday action—the explosive energy of fetch in the park, the graceful arc of a jump into water, the intensity of a game of chase, or the pure happiness on their face as they run full-speed across a field. These action shots celebrate your dog's vitality and spirit, creating powerful images that capture them at their absolute best.
We understand the timing and positioning needed for competition photography, and we're experienced in navigating event environments while staying unobtrusive to competitors and officials. Whether you need shots for your training portfolio, competition documentation, or simply to celebrate your dog's achievements, we deliver professional-quality images that capture every thrilling moment.
Equine Photography
Horses embody grace, power, and beauty in a way that demands to be photographed with skill and reverence. Our equine photography services honor the special bond between horse and rider while showcasing the magnificence of these incredible animals.
Portrait Sessions
From the gentle eye of a beloved companion to the powerful stance of a champion, equine portraits capture the unique beauty and personality of each horse. We create both formal portraits and natural, environmental shots that tell the story of your horse—whether in the stable, in their pasture, or posed against dramatic backdrops.
Our portrait sessions can include individual horse portraits, horse and rider combinations, or multi-horse group shots. We take time to understand each horse's temperament and work with their natural behavior to create compelling, authentic images. Proper lighting and composition highlight the muscle definition, coat quality, and distinctive features that make your horse unique. These portraits are perfect for breeding programs, sales listings, show programs, or simply as treasured artwork celebrating your equine partner.
We're experienced in working safely around horses and understand equine body language, allowing us to capture natural expressions and poses while maintaining a calm, professional environment. Whether you're looking for show-quality conformation shots or artistic portraits that celebrate your horse's spirit, we deliver images that do justice to these magnificent animals.
Dressage, Jumping & Competition Photography
The precision of dressage, the thrill of show jumping, and the elegance of hunter/jumper events require specialized photography skills—and we bring extensive experience in equestrian sport photography. We capture the perfect moments: the suspension over a jump, the collected power of a piaffe, the extension of a movement, or the partnership evident in a flawless round.
Our competition photography services provide you with professional documentation of your performances, whether you're building a portfolio for sales and promotion, documenting training progress, or simply want to remember your competitive achievements. We understand the sport, anticipate the movements, and position ourselves to capture optimal angles without disrupting the competition environment.
Beyond formal competition, we also photograph training sessions, casual rides, and the everyday moments that equestrian life comprises—the quiet morning grooming routines, the trust in a pre-ride moment, or the satisfaction after a successful training session. These images capture not just the sport, but the relationship and the lifestyle that makes the equestrian world so special.
Whether you're a professional competitor, an amateur enthusiast, or simply someone who loves horses, our equine photography celebrates the artistry of the sport and the beauty of the horse-and-rider partnership. We deliver images suitable for competition records, training analysis, promotional materials, or personal keepsakes.
Family Photography
While our passion extends to canine and equine subjects, we also offer traditional family portrait services that capture the connections, love, and personalities that make your family unique. These are the images that become heirlooms, the portraits that grace your walls and tell your family's story for generations to come.
Family Portrait Sessions
Family portraits are about more than just gathering everyone together and saying "cheese"—they're about capturing authentic connections, genuine smiles, and the relationships that define your family. We create a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable, from the smallest children to the most camera-shy grandparents.
Our family sessions can take place in a variety of settings based on your preferences and style: outdoor locations with natural light and scenic backgrounds, or your own home where everyone feels most comfortable. We work with families of all sizes and configurations, understanding that every family is unique and deserves images that reflect their particular dynamic.
We're patient with young children, respectful of teenagers' moods, and skilled at coordinating large groups. The result is a collection of images that includes both those perfectly composed group shots you'll frame and display, as well as candid moments that capture the laughter, the love, and the little details that make your family special.
Special Occasions & Milestones
Life's important moments deserve to be preserved professionally. Whether you're celebrating a milestone birthday, commemorating an anniversary, documenting a family reunion, or marking a graduation, we provide photography services that ensure these special occasions are remembered in beautiful, professional images.
We understand that these events are often once-in-a-lifetime moments, and we bring the expertise and attention to detail needed to capture them properly. From planning the shot list to ensuring we capture all the important family combinations, we work to document your celebration thoroughly while remaining unobtrusive enough that you and your guests can enjoy the occasion.
Our goal is to give you images that transport you back to these important moments—the joy on faces, the decorations and details you worked hard to arrange, and the gathering of loved ones that makes these occasions meaningful. These are the photographs you'll treasure as time passes and circumstances change, the visual record of your family's history and celebrations.
