Last month, while scrolling through Facebook, I came across a post from a friend—an equestrian and performer—who had just wrapped up her annual creative photo shoot with her equine partner. She shared the results, but it was clear she wasn’t completely satisfied with the final outcome.

Here’s the thing: she had a fantastic concept and a solid base image to work from. The potential was absolutely there. She poured her heart into the final product, but the image needed a more practiced touch to truly bring her vision to life.
