Resources & Education for
Equine Photographers
Welcome, future and existing equine photographers!
You must either modify your dreams or magnify your skills.
Jim Rohn
What brings you here? Are you a hobby photographer looking to grow your editing skills? Do you love horses and nature and want to learn how to take stunning photos of the beauty around you?
Or, perhaps you’re a fellow cowgirl who wants to pair your love of the cowgirl lifestyle with your passion for equine photography?
However you landed here, I’m glad we’ve found each other.
When I get asked about my journey as a professional photographer, there’s one thing that always comes to mind: The friendships I’ve built along the way with photographers who were doing what I dreamed of doing have been key to growing both my knowledge, skills, and business.
That’s why I’m passionate about sharing what I know with photographers like you!
