Equine Styled Sessions

Welcome to Elaina Eppinger Photography - where the magic of horses meets the artistry of photography! I'm thrilled to have you here and share a little bit about myself and my journey as an Award Winning Equine Photographer, proudly located in Western Pennsylvania.

My name is Elaina, and I'm the horse-passionate photographer with a heart full of equine enthusiasm. Horses have been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. I got my first horse at six years old, thanks to Santa Claus, and spent my youth competing in local game classes. I further pursued my passion at Penn State, where I studied Animal Science and competed on the Penn State Horse Judging Team, ranking in the Top 15 at The All American Quarter Horse Congress. After graduating, I had the opportunity to ride a reiner during a photo session, deepening my love for horses even more. They are not just animals to me; they are my passion and my companions, and I truly live and breathe everything horse-related.

Originally, my camera lens was focused on capturing the beautiful moments of weddings & high school seniors. However, like many horse enthusiasts, I felt an undeniable pull to merge my two greatest passions: photography and horses. Eager to expand my knowledge of equine photography, I seized the opportunity to attend a photo clinic in South Dakota hosted by Larry Larson at High View Ranch, home of Harley D Zip. This experience allowed me to learn from one of the best in the industry, where I gained valuable insights on posing sale horses, photographing pleasure to reining horses. Additionally, I explored creative and artistic techniques for photographing horses, further enhancing my skills. And thus, Elaina Eppinger Photography was born - a place where I combine my love for horses with my skills behind the camera to create timeless memories for you to cherish.
