HOLIDAY WREATH PORTRAITS
A portion of the proceeds goes to Sound Equine Options.
Each winter I bring out my holiday wreaths and create fine art portraits that capture your horse's personality. I work at your horse's pace, with patience and plenty of time to settle in, so the finished artwork still looks like your horse. I'm Kolu, owner of Portraits NW, and I have over 15 years of experience photographing horses.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
A 15 to 30 minute session per horse with my holiday wreaths.
3 edited digital portraits of your horse.
An ordering appointment afterward, for anyone who would like printed artwork such as framed prints, canvases, and albums.
Sessions take place at a host barn.
No travel fee for equine sessions anywhere in Oregon and Washington.
I recommend having a handler with your horse, and standard horse safety practices always apply.
$350 per horse, or $300 per horse when 4 or more horses book.
Have more than one horse? Owners with multiple horses receive special pricing, so just ask when you reach out.
"Kolu brings a masterful artistry to her work that is unparalleled. I have had the honor to have Kolu photograph my animals multiple times, in the Tulip Fields and on the coast, as well as a "studio session" in my barn. She has the unique ability to capture the precious moments between the poses that are the memories of our lifetimes."

"I’ve gotten pictures with Kolu since I was little and she is the best! I’ve also helped behind the scenes with a horse photoshoot and I only have great things to say. She works her hardest to make it a fun and comfortable experience."
