Hello friends ~ I'm Heidi, professionally trained equine photographer and creative force behind De La Teja Studio, proudly serving Appleton Wi. and Mexico.

In this fast pace world I search for equine beauty that will stand the test of time for future generations. I love what I do and will travel the world to tell your beautiful equine story.
Have you ever avoided having your picture taken because you feel uncomfortable on camera?

I have dedicated my life to portrait and equine photography. As a classically trained photographer, I was taught the art of photography on a medium format camera. One of my first jobs was working at a professional photo lab ~ before Photoshop existed. I was taught proper composition, lighting, color / density correction and my f- stops because there was no such thing as a "LCD screen" to preview and rely upon like digital cameras these days. I compose images the right way the first time, so there is virtually no need for editing. Basic touch up's are always included such as removing a blemish, stray hair or if my clients select a black and while or vintage handcrafted filter.
