Emma Campbell – Horse Photographer
Fine Art Horse Portraits
Master Craftsman, Judge and Mentor
Based in Cumbria and working across the North of England, Cheshire and Southern Scotland, Emma creates portraits that allow clients to pause and celebrate the partnership they share with their horse – capturing their story and crafting, beautiful, bespoke artwork for their home, that can be treasure for many years to come.
Horses play such an important role in our lives.
They’re our rock, soul mates and best friends, helping us through the good and the difficult times. They become part of the family, shaping our confidence, our memories and the rhythm of our everyday lives.
As a Master Craftsman Horse Portrait Photographer, Emma Campbell specialises in creating bespoke equine photoshoot experiences that celebrate the unique connection between horse and owner.
Each session is carefully planned around you and your horse, creating relaxed, natural portraits that are later crafted into fine art wall pieces for your home.
Have you ever thought of capturing your unique relationship and what’s so special to you?
If you’ve been thinking about booking a horse photoshoot, you might be wondering when the best time is? The simple answer is: right now!
During your horse photoshoot, we’ll head to a location that holds special meaning for you both. Somewhere you feel relaxed and connected – the perfect setting to capture the unique bond you share. And together, we’ll create a collection of beautiful, personal portraits that tell your story.
Imagine walking past your wall art each day and being reminded of the moments you share with your horse. The laughter, the quiet moments, your connection – right there with you, every single day.

From the moment we met Emma we felt at ease, we’d spoken several times before our horse photoshoot and this really helped us, as Emma knew so much about us and Neli.
The Equine portrait session was done at Neli’s pace and pleased to say Neli loved the attention and was a star.
Emma captured so many beautiful Photographs that when we joined up again to choose we didn’t panic as we were allowed to take our time going back and forth. They were truly exquisite!
Once decisions had been made, frames chosen the artwork (it truly is art!), the order arrived swiftly and safely, Emma kept in touch with us throughout every step. I am so proud of our pictures, they are absolutely beautiful.

An amazing experience and the perfect moment capturing pictures.
Emma was brilliant from start to finish guiding us through the process, asking why we wanted to do this, advising on things to wear, where we wanted to have the pictures taken and being on weather watch in the days leading upto the photo shoot.
On the day of our horse photoshoot, she put you at ease suggesting where to start the session and what she wanted. She then explained the next process and showed samples of the frames etc.
A couple of weeks later we had our wonderful reveal, if we could’ve we’d have bought them all, choosing 1/2 was hard. She said it would be a couple of weeks before our chosen pictures would arrive but it was more like a week, Emma kept you informed all along as to when they would arrive.
We love our Wall Art and they will be something to treasure for a long time.

My horse photoshoot session was amazing. Emma was brilliant in communicating from booking to pre portrait and receiving artwork. Very professional service.
On the day of the horse portrait session, Emma was very supportive and guiding on what to do to get the best pictures on the day!
The gallery reveal via Zoom was excellent and enabled me to see how my artwork would look in lounge.
I now have an amazing Treasure box and wall art of me and my horse Jen which I can enjoy and treasure for years to come! This is well worth doing with your special equines!

From the moment we met Emma we felt at ease, we'd spoken several times before the photo shoot, this really helped us as Emma knew so much about us and Neli. The photo shoot was done at Neli's pace and pleased to say Neli loved the attention and was a star. Emma captured so many beautiful shots that when we joined up again to choose we didn't panic as we were allowed to take our time going back and forth, Emma was right, me and my daughter Ellen saw different things in the photos that meant so much to us. They were truly exquisite! Once decisions had been made, frames chosen the artwork (it truly is art!), the order arrived swiftly and safely, Emma kept in touch with us throughout every step.

Emma came for our first photo shoot and what an amazing experience it was. Everything went great from start to finish I was so nervous but I didn't need to be she made it a great day. We went through the photos and there was some amazing photos, it was really hard to decide which one to choose however I picked this one. When it arrived it was even better than when I first saw them. I'm glad I chose to have the shoot and I now have an amazing piece of art to treasure when my girl is gone. I would really recommend you to have one done as the experience and the results are just brilliant and it's a memorable time.
What an amazing lady Emma is . My daughter had a wonderful experience with her pony Arthur having their picture taken with Emma. Emma took her time so she could get the perfect pictures I would definitely recommend her and would definitely use her again.
Emma really knows how to capture the most meaningful shots of yourself and your horses. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with Emma and was pleased to bits with the outcome of the pictures I got.
I recently had my first photoshoot with Emma and all I can say is wow!! Before meeting Emma I had a super informative and helpful consultation which made me feel prepared and organised for the shoot, the guides on her website were also super helpful so I recommend having a read through them before your shoot especially if your like me and overthink everything and want to feel as prepared and confident as possible. I had the most amazing day having photos done with my 2 horses. Emma was so patient and calm with them both ( one being a energetic fresh event horse, the other being a young 4 year old) she made the whole experience so enjoyable and was really helpful in guiding me what to do and had the most amazing eye for photo locations. The photos were absolutely beautiful and am going to treasure them forever, she’s captured both horses personality perfectly. I can’t wait to have more shoots done with Emma soon, I cannot recommend her enough. The Most loveliest person who made me feel comfortable and happy during the whole session.
I wanted some special images of my lovely mare before I retire her to stud due to an injury. Emma took the most beautiful photographs and worked her magic to create amazing works of art. It was an emotional photoshoot but Emma's professionalism and patience paid off. I couldn't be happier with the masterpiece I get to have on my wall. Highly recommended.
Portraits that will still matter decades from now.
