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 was quickly drawn to natural light photography and visual storytelling, which I apply to all facets of my approach to photography. My goal is to capture the story, with all of its unique curves and twists, to show the world the spark I see around me and through my lens. What this means for clients, is a picture that tells their story, wrapped up in all the emotion of those moments. 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 in the north of Germany. Photographic evidence shows the feeling was not mutual, but it 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 always bound to collide.

When I’m not working with equestrians and their partners, I take outdoor travel and adventure photos. Contact me about editorial projects and licensing agreement options.

My background in the world of publishing and marketing led me to develop a roster of commercial clients early in my photography career. These clients range 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 I’ve loved working with. It’s a pleasure to help tell a client's story, no matter the size of the company, and while my commercial book is limited, I’m happy to have a chat if a potential client feels we’re a match.
