Become a Private Client
Horse show photography should feel like more than documentation — it should preserve the atmosphere, emotion, and unforgettable moments that define the experience both in and out of the ring.
Private clients receive thoughtfully tailored photography and videography coverage designed to capture the full story of your week, from candid behind-the-scenes moments and warm-ups to in-ring performances and quiet victories in between.
With a deep understanding of the sport and an editorial approach to storytelling, my goal is to create timeless imagery that reflects not only how it looked to be there, but how it felt.
• A curated private online gallery with high-resolution digital imagery
• Coverage throughout the show week, including candid moments, warm-ups, and competition rounds
• Refined, editorial-inspired storytelling tailored to your individual experience
• Select creative video clips included upon request
• Timely gallery delivery throughout the duration of the show
Because at the end of the day, the most meaningful moments are often the ones that happen quietly between classes.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Irina and all that she does. From equine photography to family portraits, she does it all! She is so easy to work with, such a pleasure to pose for, and overall an amazing presence to have when capturing life’s precious moments! Not to mention the perfection she captures on your not-so-perfect days, when I book with Irina I know I’m going to get way beyond what I’ve asked for!
