Let's plan your photography session
Equestrian and senior portrait sessions in Alabama and throughout the Southeast
I photograph equestrians and seniors across Alabama and the Southeast who want more than rushed, generic photos. They want an experience that feels comfortable and real. Tell me what you’re dreaming up, and we’ll take the first step together.
Can't wait to meet you!

Let's Plan Your Session
Please Note: Due to liability concerns, Painted Oak Photography does NOT provide horses for photoshoots. Clients must have access to a horse of their own.
“I’ve worked with Shelly twice and am always in awe of her incredible talent and eye for capturing the most meaningful moments. After unexpectedly losing my beloved horse just a month after our first session, I’m forever grateful she preserved that final memory for me. She makes every session feel comfortable and fun, goes above and beyond for her clients, and delivers the most beautiful images you’ll treasure forever. If you want the best photographer — and a genuinely wonderful person — Shelly is your girl.”

"Shelly was amazing to work with throughout the entire shoot! She was knowledgeable about posing and made me feel way less awkward than I was expecting. Overall I had a great experience and highly recommend working with her! I cannot wait to look back on my photos for years to come."

“I cannot recommend Painted Oak Photography enough! Shelly photographed me and my horse in Tuscaloosa and made me feel like a true model while capturing my horse’s personality perfectly. Even in the August heat, she was patient, thoughtful, and went above and beyond — from helping with outfits to making sure my horse stayed comfortable. You won’t regret booking a session with her!”
