Capturing the bond only a horse girl understands.
About Katie
Me. Hey, I’m Katie— the heart and soul behind The Wild Rein.
I’m a lifelong horse girl, rewilded dreamer, and storytelling junkie with a camera in one hand and a dusty pair of boots on my feet. After years photographing everything from portraits to nature, I came home to what truly sets my soul on fire — capturing the raw, emotional, unbreakable bond between horse and human.
If you’ve ever whispered secrets into your horse’s mane, cried into their shoulder, or felt like the saddle is the only place you can breathe deeply... you’re my kind of person.
My style. My editing is moody, rich, and romantic — like golden hour met a prairie love letter. I’m drawn to soft light, honest connection, windswept hair, and the in-between moments most people miss. My photos are less about perfect poses and more about truth — the kind you can feel when you look back 10 years from now.
You won’t find fake smiles or awkward vibes here. Just you, your horse, and the story you’re living.
The Shoot. Sessions with me are laid back, intentional, and built around the real you. I’ll gently guide you, but never over-pose. I want your bond to shine through — the way your horse leans into your hand, the way you light up when you look at them, the way you feel when you're together.
Whether we’re out in a wide-open field or tucked beneath oak trees, I create space for you to slow down, connect, and be fully present.
It’s not just a photoshoot.
It’s an experience — one your heart will remember.
Soulful portraits for wild hearts and their horses.
Now why hire
The Wild Rein?
I do more than just snap a couple of photographs of you. I love to create an experience that is fun and unexpected. The way my shoots typically go are very free flowing and not restrictive. It all depends on you. YOU are my inspiration. I promise you WILL have a blasty blast with me.

You want more than pretty pictures — you want connection. These aren’t stiff poses or awkward smiles. I capture the unspoken bond between you and your horse — the kind of love that runs deep and wild. The nuzzles, the glances, the way they follow you without a lead rope? Yeah, that’s the magic.

You’ve waited long enough to be seen. You’re always behind the camera, mucking stalls, running the business, or just being the rock for your horse. It’s time you were the main character. This session is your moment to be celebrated, in all your dusty, radiant glory.

My style tells your story — no cookie-cutter edits here. Moody, soulful, and honest. Your session will be edited in my signature warm, cinematic style — one that feels like a memory and looks like a dream. Every detail is intentional. Every image, a piece of art.

I’m not just a photographer — I’m a horse girl too. I know when to give your horse a break, how to read their energy, and how to get that just right shot without stress or force. You won’t be rushed, and your horse will be respected every step of the way.
