My goal is to capture the inherent beauty and grace of our incredible equine partners through artful portraiture. There is something truly magical about the connection between a horse and its rider, and it is my greatest joy to immortalize that unique bond in every photograph I take.

About me

Hello there! I'm Sophia Lewis, a photographer and equestrian based in Denver, Colorado. After attending the Savannah College of Art and Design for Photography and Equestrian Studies, I ventured into the horse industry as a rider and groom before fully committing to my career as a photographer. What truly drives me is capturing the undeniable passion between horse and rider in every single photograph. Being an equestrian myself, photographing riders and their horses brings me an immense amount of joy in my work.

Horse + Rider

A horse and rider session is a carefully crafted photoshoot designed specifically with equestrians in mind. Sophia Lewis Photography combines a keen eye for photographic style with a deep understanding of horses to deliver timeless images of you and your equine companion. Regardless of your age, discipline, or location, our passion for horses serves as the driving force behind each session. These photo sessions are perfect for graduating seniors, family portraits, or simply celebrating the deep connection you share with your four-legged friend. Every session is customized to suit your unique style, whether it's embracing a fairytale aesthetic or opting for a more classic riding attire. My ultimate goal is to capture the unbreakable bond that defines us as equestrians in every photograph.

Black Background

One of the most beloved aspects of Sophia Lewis Photography are my black background and white background portraits. These artistic sessions aim to capture your horse's unique personality, resulting in stunning images that will be cherished for years to come. The setup process is simple and adaptable, only requiring a barn aisle or indoor arena to ensure that your horse feels at ease in their familiar environment. Typically photographed in a bridle, these creative sessions offer a variety of poses for each horse, making them ideal for sale ads or as striking home decor pieces, especially when printed on acrylic mounts.

Private Show Coverage

I have a fresh approach to horse show photography! I believe that it can go beyond capturing ringside snapshots. Instead, by focusing on individual competitors, you receive more personalized images even outside of your round. My goal is to redefine what a typical event photo means by placing emphasis on creativity, meticulous attention to detail, and a unique sense of style. As an equestrian competitor myself, I structure my business around what I would personally want, always keeping fellow equestrians in mind. I prioritize offering a personalized and creative service while also building strong relationships with my clients through exceptional customer service.
