welcome TO mane shot photography


Hello! My name is Lisa Heine. For over 20 years my passion has been photographing horses! There’s something undeniably magical about horses—their strength, elegance, and soulful eyes tell a story all their own.  As a horse photographer, I don’t just capture images—I aim to preserve moments of connection between these magnificent animals and the people who love them. Whether it's the quiet bond between a rider and their horse, the powerful energy of movement in an open field, or a timeless portrait, my goal is to honor the beauty, grace, and spirit of the horse in every frame. Horse photography, for me, is about more than technique—it's about patience, presence, and a deep respect for the animal in front of the lens.

“Lisa was doing senior pictures of my daughter Ella with her gray horse Sully and I asked Lisa if she could do a white on white of Sully. Wow, it came out so much better than I had dreamed of!  And Ella’s senior pictures are stunning.  We could not be happier with how all of them turned out.”
