A rider since childhood, Austen has always appreciated the importance of a good photograph. She has honed her skills photographing eventing and dressage, specializing in action and candid shots. She loves to capture the special relationship between every person and animal.
When not photographing, Austen spends her time training her OTTB dressage horses, running with her huskies, sharing stories in the museum world, and crunching data for a local non-profit.
