HeART Of The Horse Art Show

Earlier this month I had the privilege of showing my work in the HeART of the Horse art show benefiting Save A Forgotten Equine. Everyone had big expectations for the show, the first that SAFE has put on, and it ended up being a fantastic event thanks to tireless work by some awesome SAFE volunteers! The event was held at the Abbey Ballroom in Tacoma which was a fun and unique location.

I have shown my artwork in the past, back in my days as a traditional media artist, but this was my first time showing my photos. It was a fun experience for me and made me stop and look at my photos as art pieces and not just photos for the horses owner (if that makes sense lol).

Here's what I brought to the show:

arabian horse portrait "An Esprit"

steaming horse back at dusk "Dusk"

freisian horse portrait

freisian horse portrait

The two Freisian images (which don't have names yet) are ones that I haven't posted or really shown at all (except to the owners of the horses who loved them!) and they were a big hit! In fact, both of the framed 11x14 prints I brought sold! Which is awesome since 50% of the sale goes right to SAFE! All total I sold three 11x14 prints and the auction items I brought all went for a good amount, too. All in all I had a great time mingling with fellow horse lovers, listening to great music, munching on good food and, of course, helping raise money for SAFE!

For more info (and a way better write up) on the event check out Monica Bretherton's northwest equestrian blog , Horsebytes. It even includes a bit about me!

Now, I did get scolded by Jamie at the event for moving to Monroe and not coming out to see the horses ( I know I've been slacking). So expect to see some photos of the SAFE rescue horses here in the near future!

PS I am planning on offering limited edition art prints of all of these images, let me know if you're interested! liz (at) lizstabbertphoto.com

Introducing Our New Referral Program!

Word of mouth means a lot in the horse community and my business has grown considerably thanks to your referrals of friends and family. Now I've created a way to say thank you!

Now every time a new customer schedules a session with Liz Stabbert Photography and mentions your name, you receive a $50 credit towards your next print purchase! Its as easy as that. Use the referral program as often as you like, your credits will continue to be combined.


Nitty Gritty Details:

You do not need to have had a portrait session with me in the past to use the program, I appreciate referrals from any admirers of my work! Credits count towards prints or any items available through our gallery, including gifts, photo books, canvases and downloads (yes downloads too!). Credits can be used for existing images or saved for a future portrait session. Your credit is awarded at the completion of the new customers session. Currently, credits must be used with email orders, but soon our galleries will be equipped for easy to use gift certificates (stay tuned).

This is something I've been wanting to do for a while and am excited to get the program started!


(for those of you who are looking at this post and going "hello, where are the pictures?!" [you know you were thinking it!] Never fear, next post will hopefully be tomorrow and will have more equine photo goodness!)
