Welcome to this episode of the Cowgirls with Cameras podcast, where Kim, Phyllis and Cara are here to share their tips on "getting things legal" with your photography. They cover a variety of topics, such as copyrights, releases and contracts. All of these components are important to understand in order to ensure that your photography business is operating in a healthy way. Kim, Phyllis and Cara will share their insight on these topics to help you create a successful business that is both legally sound and creatively satisfying.

Going pro is a big decision. We all three regularly mentor photographers making this move in their life — and we have some wisdom to offer to you if you’re considering hanging out your shingle as a professional photographer. Even if you have a photography business up and running, this episode will offer you ways to grow and expand your business practices and mindset.

Kim, Phyllis and Cara are back with another episode of the Cowgirls with Cameras podcast, this time focusing on how equine photographers can get their creative juices flowing again. From brainstorming ideas to stepping away from the camera for a bit, the trio have got some great tips to help you break out of that dreaded creative rut. So, if you're an equine photographer looking for some inspiration, make sure to tune in to this episode and get the motivation you need to get your creative juices flowing again.

When we looked back on our experiences with workshops, educational opportunities, and mentors, all three of us saw room for improvement in the way these activities were delivered. In our careers, we have all experienced interactions within the photographer community that left us feeling like photographers like us were not well represented in the industry leadership.

When we set out to create Cowgirls with Cameras, our mission became to incorporate the things we most wanted when we attend workshops; seek growth or expertise; work with a mentor; or access our support community. As we grow and expand Cowgirls with Cameras opportunities, we are focusing on nine points we feel will bring an enriched experience to those who attend our experiences and offerings.

As equine photographers, our images need a place to call home. For those of us just starting out, creating a website can seem like a daunting task.
