ABOUT...


The Photographer


I’m Chelsea. Equal parts horse nerd, camera nerd, and Photoshop/Lightroom nerd. I started my photography business in 2016 and I knew that I wanted to ONLY photograph horses. No families, no weddings, no engagements... just horses. By 2021, I quit my corporate job to pursue equine photography full-time and never looked back.


The rest:
  • Got my start in editing playing Horseland way back in the day (IYKYK)
  • Bay gelding person
  • I love NEED lavender in my coffee
  • If you invite me to your house, I will spend an hour sitting on the floor with your dog

The Channel


This channel aims to help other equine photographers learn and refine their editing skills, particularly for the ever-popular black background or fine art style of photography.


My goal is for this to be a fun, interactive channel that grows over time to provide an ever-expanding knowledge base filled with the information that YOU want to see.
