My name is Katie Rae Chambers and I am the woman behind KRC Photography. Ever since I was young, collecting Breyer horses, and getting way too excited over spotting horses, I knew my future career had to be in the equine industry.

On top of horses, I've always had a passion for anything artistic or creative. After exploring different creative fields in the equine industry, I eventually landed in photography. I would spend hours by myself in my own or local friends' pastures moving horses around to better understand how to best photograph their movements and capture their undeniable beauty. Even now, much of what I know and practice today were learned in those solo pasture sessions or from hours of studying the industry, its standards, and its needs.

My passion and focus in the equine industry is simple: to be able to deliver high quality, professional, and timeless content of horses and their people. When I got my first horse over 10 years ago, I wasn’t able to show, and professional photos were just never an option. Looking back, I realized I would do some wild things just to be able to have a few nice photos of my first horse and I– which helped structure the business I have today. The importance of capturing and preserving other equestrian memories for future years is one of the most important aspects of my business because I truly know the heartache of being without.

If I am not ringside, working for other photographers, or in the saddle shop, I can be found on the 170+ centennial farmstead I call home. Nestled in the heart of Michigan, my husband and I are currently responsible for restoring a family farm that was settled in the fall of 1852 and has remained in the family since. I also love anything historic, so discovering this farm's history, the remaining antiques, and preserving all the findings for the future generations has brought so much excitement and joy into my life. It's just an added bonus that my personal animals get to be a part of the history of the farm as well.
