Last year, I was asked to be a speaker at a brand new event for equine photographers – The Equine Photography Retreat. I love to help other photographers grow, but don’t host my own workshops anymore because they are time-intensive and my schedule stays quite full year-round (except during a…
I breathed a sigh of relief yesterday when MN Governer Tim Walz announced another round of businesses allowed to open and I saw photography on the list. I’ve been so eager to get back to the work I love! While I’m excited to open up, I would like to reassure…
