I highly recommend Linda Finstad to be your photographer, as she has an uncanny gift of capturing precious moments of time in her pictures. Of all the photographers I have used, she is the most accommodating, and she truly enjoys what she does. This is evident in her very organized, personable and professional approach to her work. She not only enjoys working and snapping pictures around horses, but she really enjoys being around people as well, and this comes together to produce beautiful pictures.

I met Linda at the “Fultonvale Breed Showcase”. Linda took a fancy to my Quarter Horse stallion and asked my permission to photograph him. I was thrilled as I don't have many pictures of him under saddle. I was also very impressed with Linda's professionalism at actually asking my permission.

I was very excited to see the final product and I was definitely not disappointed. Every one of Linda's shots was fabulous. She not only captured the stallions muscle and brawn but also his elegance and shear beauty.

Linda is a superior photographer and a wonderful, energetic and genuine person, and it is an absolute pleasure to be in her company. I would not hesitate to recommend Linda to anyone looking for a truly talented photographer.

"Linda is more than a wonderful photographer, she is an artist who also understands and loves horses. This understanding and love shines through in her work.
I would not hesitate to recommend her!” S. Stuart - Kirkland Shetlands

Her professionalism, impeccable taste, detailed perfection and honesty makes her our number one photographer in the equine industry. Those who haven't had the pleasure to meet or work with Linda are missing out on a great person and photographer. Linda will always be our eye through the camera and it is our great honour to know and recommend such a great human being." Midgeland Riding School

“Linda Finstad is an incredible photographer with an incredible energetic personality. She is able to capture the elegance and power of a horse in such a way that only a few can. Linda is open minded and full of ideas to capture the true spirit of the horse. Mari-Lyn Hudson Whitemud Equine Center

" Linda's professionalism, honesty and positive energy make her a joy to know and work with. Linda's love of horses really shines through in her photography. At our last 4H Achievement Day, Linda shot portraits of all of our members and her creative eye captured something unique about each horse and rider. The photographs have become treasured keepsakes of that wonderful day for our members. We will definitely invite her back for this year's Achievement Day. It is my great honor to know and recommend such a great human being."

I've got two show pictures Linda took of my horse Cheerio and myself hung up in my living room and I absolutely love them! I always wanted someone to take pictures of me while I'm jumping at shows, but no one seems to be able to catch just what I’d like...Linda did that for me! Thanks!

Just a note to say, Thank you. Taking photographs of equine athletes can be extremely Difficult.
When a person asks for a particular shot besides well... I was extremely pleased with the quality of the photographs, well done.

"Linda has an amazing ability to capture all of the elements of a special moment. In a single picture, she can convey the emotion, the atmosphere and the entire experience to all who see the picture." Katherine Cook

Linda caught a moment in time when she photographed my gelding and I at our first show. The show nerves show plainly in my pensive expression. The angle she photographed my gelding from shows him as picture perfect. Linda is indeed a gifted equine photographer.

Linda is great! She has the patience to take the time to capture just the right look, pose, and/or expression. She has taken some great pictures of my horses showing them at their best. Everybody should have a picture taken by Linda.
Jeanne DesRochers

" The first thing people do when looking at the photograph taken by Linda is to take a second look, then ask if it is a painting. I've never been one to buy professional photographs until now, where I had to stop myself from buying more then one of each horse! In the era of digital cameras, anyone can take a picture, but it takes a true artist to be able to capture the emotion behind the ride. Even her candid shots are a joy to look at, one can imagine the story behind them through the expression captured within."
Jenn Smart

" Linda is not only a wonderful photographer but also has the ability to work with horses and people of all types. She not only takes wonderful traditional shots of horses but also captures the fun and personality of both horse and rider." Hedi Klasson

Thru the years I have purchased many show photos of my horse at the regional and national level and no one has done a better job than Linda! Not only does she do a great job with the normal shots of horse and rider with their ribbons she also captures them in more casual and relaxed moments. She also experiments with unusual angles, shots and effects. All of these help to capture the horses personality in fresh ways which are very appealing to besotted owners like myself! I look forward to more photos next year!

Hi Linda,
I grew up around horses, rode almost daily in my teen years. My mother raised Saddlebreds and seeing pictures of these beautiful horses at their best was truly a talent and I see this talent with the pictures I have seen you take. I now have a daughter that loves horses and has a natural talent for riding. She loves sport horses and is doing three day eventing. Of the events we attended last year the pictures you took of Nixi and Laura at the Amberlea Pony Club Show were the best we have to date. You captured the beauty this mare has when she pulls it all together. We love the pictures and when we talk about what Nixi and Laura did last summer these are the pictures we like to show. Thank you.
