Hey, I'm Kate Halteh.


My heart has always been with horses- it was love at first sight. I was six months old and my parents had dressed me as a cowgirl to get my picture taken at the local general store. Just outside of the store was a small, bay paint pony complete with a pony-sized western saddle- it was the stuff of a little girl's dreams. Although I don't remember much more about that special day, I know that general store pony started it all for this horse girl.

 

Much later in life I fell in love with photography. With a camera loaned to me by my mom, I travelled a bit and took pictures of anything that moved me. It wasn't until recently, when I combined my love of photography with my lifelong love of horses, that I found my true passion- equine photography. Being able to illustrate (through my lens) the beauty of equine movement, the connection of horse and rider or a story untold is what truly excites me.

 

Whether it's your unicorn, your family or your personal brand- I love photographing what moves you and brings you joy. Let's put our hearts, minds, and a bit of light together to create some magical images.
