Real stories. Real horses. Real art.

Welcome to The Mane Blog by Daphne’s Equine Portraits — a collection of stories celebrating the beauty, spirit, and artistry of the horse. Here you’ll discover behind-the-scenes features from fine art equine photography sessions, inspiring horse-and-rider stories, and expert insight from an award-winning equine photographer in Tennessee. Each post honors the connection we share with our horses and the timeless portraits that turn those bonds into legacy artwork for generations to come.
