about the co-hosts

Jeni Brunner, the owner of Jeni Jo Photography, is based in Washington. She started her business in 2017, beginning with fashion photography and soon transitioned back into the horse world, just in a different way, with equine photography. With a background in both fashion and horses, she's found a way to combine both aspects to help horse girls feel like supermodels and even get published in fashion magazines.

Lauren Wagner, the owner of Lauren Ann Photography, is based in California. She started her business at the very beginning of 2021 while homeschooling her 3 children, diving right into equine photography with a passion for fine art black background portraits. She has become highly proficient in Photoshop for editing black background portraits as well as moving into brand photography and videography as a means to further capture and tell a story.
