Photographing horses had always been a creative dream of mine. The initial challenge I faced was my own insecurity and fear. I was so reluctant to ask anyone if I could photograph their horses. It took five years of living by my neighbor who has three horses before I finally had the nerve to go ask if I could photograph them. I realize just saying that sounds so crazy. It is so sad how much we deny ourselves by letting fear take over the driving wheel. My approach for this horse shoot was to capture these beautiful animals in the area they call home, in the same manner, I conduct my family lifestyle sessions. Start by observing how they interact with each other at their own home and not pose them at all.

REDEFINE | Documentary Photography feature by Kristy Westendorp Photography
Don’t fake it. I see so many photographers who say they are documentary but they want to go around turning on and off lights and opening and closing windows and oh, maybe the light would be a little better if you read that story a bit closer to the window? Now, I know a lot of people love lifestyle photography.
