Teen Equine Photoshoots: Why Dressing Up in Your Prom Dress with Your Equine Best Friend is the Perfect Way to Celebrate in 2025

Prom is one of the most anticipated events of the year — the dress, the excitement, the nerves, and the memories. But all too often, the moment passes in a blur. That’s where a relaxed, outdoor prom dress photoshoot comes in — a chance to slow things down, let your child feel confident and radiant, and capture this milestone in a way that lasts. And what a way to celebrate with their four legged best friend by their side!

Whether your daughter wants to feel like a princess for the afternoon or simply wants to remember how amazing she felt in that dress, a personalised equine photoshoot is the perfect way to do it. As an equine photographer in Dorset, I’ve also had the joy of combining these sessions with horse and pony portraits, adding even more meaning for horse-loving teens who’ve grown up in the saddle.

Teen Equestrian Photoshoot in Dorset - Prom Dress

Here’s why you might want to book a prom photoshoot for summer 2025: 1. Teen Equine Photoshoots - Because They Deserve to Feel Incredible

Finishing Year 11 and completing their GCSEs is a huge accomplishment. And for many teens, it's not just about academic milestones — maybe they’ve achieved great things personally too. They might have grown in confidence, overcome challenges, made new friendships, or even found joy and pride through Pony Club — whether that’s earning badges, enjoying rides with their equine best friend, or giving their all in dressage or show jumping. A horse and rider photoshoot gives them a chance to pause, celebrate all they’ve achieved, and see themselves reflected back as the strong, proud young person they’ve become. A photoshoot lets them reflect on how far they’ve come and see themselves looking strong, proud, and full of possibility. It’s a celebration of everything they’ve achieved.

2. The Dress Deserves More Than One Moment

They’ve searched for weeks, maybe months, to find the perfect dress — so why only wear it for one night? Usually, they’re so used to being up at the yard in muddy boots and a hoodie that this is a rare chance to feel truly dressed up again. A prom dress photoshoot gives the dress the attention it deserves (and no muddy dance floors to worry about!).A prom dress photoshoot gives the dress the attention it deserves (and no muddy dance floors to worry about!).

3. It’s a Confidence-Boosting Experience

These sessions are relaxed, friendly, and fun — designed to make teens feel comfortable and celebrated. Whether they want full glamour or something soft and natural, I tailor the shoot to suit their style. And if they want to include their pony? Even better!

4. A Keepsake to Look Back On

Prom might be one night, but the photos from your session will be a keepsake they can treasure long after the shoes have been kicked off and the makeup has faded. Perfect for albums, frames, or even thank-you cards. These keepsake images are also a perfect way of capturing the bond your child shares with their beloved pony, creating even more personal and meaningful memories. long after the shoes have been kicked off and the makeup has faded.

5. It’s a Fun Way to Mark the End of an Era

Leaving school and stepping into a new chapter is a big deal. A photoshoot is a beautiful way to honour the end of Year 11 — whether they go solo, include friends, or celebrate with a beloved horse or pony by their side.

Prom dress sessions are available across Dorset, and can take place in natural outdoor locations, pretty gardens, or even along the coast. If your teen has a pony they’d love to include, I offer combined equine photography sessions that bring out their bond and give you even more meaningful images.
