We are so excited to announce that we have teamed up to host exciting collaborative weekends for equine photographers! And this all-inclusive retreat is sure to be spectacular! We will be joining the Arizona Sash Bash, where some stunning rodeo queens will be modeling for us, among other amazing models. Our goal is to provide the opportunity for participants to add variety to their portfolio, gain confidence in shooting a variety of western content while building friendships with like-minded professionals in the equine photography industry.
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.
The Jeni Jo + Lauren Ann Content Retreats are designed to create a variety of portfolio and social media content for equine photographers. You will be able to showcase horse and rider sessions, reiners in action, equestrian editorial styled photoshoots and more! You will be able to use these images as well as any video you take for any type of advertising! This three day content retreat will include three days of photoshoots with several different shoots and multiple models each day - many of our models being Miss Rodeo Queens, a goodie bag, and time to edit and socialize with fellow photographers!
