Episode 22: Building a Fan Following with Kirstie Jones

The Freelance Remuda: Navigating the Equine Media Frontier

Kirstie Jones, of Kirstie Marie Photography, started out taking photos of her horses as a hobby. A lifelong horse lover, she competed at breed shows growing up and on TCU’s equestrian team. After college, she started her photography business as a side gig and quickly gained a loyal client base. This year, Dallas-based Kirstie quit her finance job and went full-time as an equine photographer—an exciting development for those of us who love her work! You’ve seen her photos grace magazine covers, editorial spreads and ad after ad in equine publications.

We’ve wanted to have Kirstie on the show since before we began production, but somehow it turns out that recording three days before she’s scheduled to have a baby is, of course, the perfect time. Remuda, we think you’ll love hearing what Kirstie has to say. She’s got razor-sharp business sense and one of the most distinctive styles in equine photography today.
