Welcome! I’m Katja, an equine and editorial photographer. In my early 20s I inherited a vintage Miranda film camera and learned to see people with a more curious eye, to notice light and shadows, and to stop for sunsets, sunrises, and everything in between. I was hooked.

I started with snowcapped, Scottish mountains and snapshots of university life, and quickly fell in love with how the use of light (or shadows) allowed me to tell a story. My goal is to show the world the spark I see around me and through my lens. What this means for my clients are photographs that tells their unique story. And that’s how we come to horses…I’m a lifelong, horse-mad girl who became an equally horse-mad woman. I have a vivid memory of four year-old me falling in love with my great-uncle’s draft horse near Bremen, Germany; this set me on a path of loving every horse I met and being lucky enough to have a few in my life. The two worlds were bound to collide.

When I’m not working with equestrians and their partners, I’m out hiking and exploring new and familiar places, usually with my camera slung around my neck. Contact me about editorial projects and licensing agreement options.

Before focusing on equine photography, I worked for many years as a commercial photographer. A background in publishing and marketing helped me grow a roster of clients early in my photography career. These clients ranged from local, family-run businesses to national and multinational brands - Subaru Canada, Woodbine Entertainment Group, eQcell Inc., Purely Inspired, Tapestry Equine Products, Sharpie, OshKosh B’Gosh, and Martin’s Sweet Farm, are a few. While my commercial book is limited, I’m happy to have a chat if a potential client feels we’re a match.
