Photography

Hi, I'm Katy

I am Katy VanHelmond, an equine photographer based on Long Island, New York. I started riding horses when I was 6 years old and my love for horses only grew from there. From competing in IEA/IHSA, learning polo, trail riding, and Hunter Paces, I know that my happiest memories are with horses. I am so thankful I can relive all of those moments through photographs, and want to help others feel that same joy! I am truly excited to capture your most treasured moments and memories.

More About Me

“Katy donated her time and talent to take pictures for my daughters equestrian team. Katy is professional and personable. She is very accessible, as she answered each and every question that I had in a timely manner. Katy is herself an equestrian and her knowledge of horses and riding is apparent in her photos. She captures the beauty of the rider and the horse both together and as individuals. I am looking forward to working with Katy VanHelmond again. I absolutely recommend Katy for personal photos as well as equine photos. You will not be disappointed!”

“Once in a while, you come across someone with a real eye for animal photography – horses in particular. Katy VanHelmond is one of those people. She has the uncanny ability to capture the moment and the patience of a saint to boot. We had so much fun working with her while she photographed our horses – resulting in the most stunning pictures we have ever had. Katy is amazing. We highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.”

“There aren’t many people that can capture the bond between an animal and a human. In my opinion the only photographer that's able to capture the horse and rider as a team is Katy. When you look at most horse photos, it’s either focused on the horse or focused on the rider. She can capture both the strength and beauty of your horses. With each photo the detail is so clean, it looks like the horse can walk right out of the photo. Working with Katy is one of the most fun and positive experiences you can ask for. I imagine having someone else take my horse's photo.”

Horse and Rider

Through a series of photographs I will showcase the love and trust between you and your horse.

Black Backgrounds

Black background sessions set out to capture the beauty of your horse. Since most of the magic happens in Photoshop, the horses will be comfortable in their barn aisle or indoor arena with no intimidating backdrops or flashes.
