Hi passionate dog and horse photographer!
Are you looking for a unique opportunity to capture breathtaking landscapes? Let us take you on a magical photo journey to Austria, where the majestic Alps, crystal clear lakes and fairytale models are waiting to enchant your lens. The journey where we have magical and cool photoshoots with the sweetest 4-legged dogs and horses, a photoshop lesson, mini branding shoot, group activity and so much more! Take photos that you can look back on for many years to come. Perfect to fill your portfolio, because how many people can say that they have taken the coolest photos in the Austrian mountains?😏
Why a photo tour in Austria?
A big dream of mine was to one day organize a photo tour. But where to? No country gave me a direct reason to organize something there. Until our move to Austria in 2022 came our way. We left for Rinnen, a small village next to Berwang located in the Zugspitze Arena. There I continued my photography of course and discovered the nature and special places of Austria. I saw many locations and with many of them there was one thought that came to me: "Wow, if only more photographers saw these places!" From then on, the big dreams of one day organizing a photo tour started and last year I organized the first edition! And wow, what a lot of fun it was to do! It was really a mega cool kick-off! Every location that I selected for the trip was inspected by me on a number of important points: space, accessibility, special features and environment. All locations must score high on those points with me in order to give you the best experience. And they certainly did that last year! (Read those promising words below!) With its breathtaking landscapes, rich culture and photogenic locations, Austria is an inspiration for every photographer!
Join us on this fantastic journey for dog and horse photographers!
Welcome to Austria: the ultimate paradise for photographers.
Okay, what next?
I work for booking the trip with room packages (including everything that is included in the photo trip. You can find the list of these below!). Because we have family lodges and are not a hotel, you have lodges where you can sleep alone or with one other photographer in one lodge. So there is room for 7 participants for the photo trip. This means 4 lodges where you will stay divided, including my videographer Laura Oonk. Read the packages carefully to see what is included and what is not included in the photo trip.
I'm really looking forward to seeing you in May 2025!


Every photographer would love to have these branding photos of themselves, right?!

The experiences of the previous participants!


The group of 2024!
Great final results from the participants!
I am a horse rider myself and proud oldest sister of my dog Saar. That is why I am specialized in dog and horse photography. I have a huge love for these animals and I love to capture them! Many customers say that their animal is not photogenic or does not look nice in photos... I do NOT believe that! Every animal is unique and because of my extensive experience in capturing this, I know exactly how to make your dog or horse shine in its own way.
After having photographed these shoots a lot, another passion started to develop and that was providing other entrepreneurs with fresh, warm and professional photos of their company. That is incredibly important if you want to take your company to a higher level. You simply have to have professional photos. That says it all: it radiates professionalism. Just look at my photo on the right. I had a beautiful professional photo taken so that you also get a professional image of me. That is how the business photography came about.
In addition to giving people a memory, I also missed the bit of creative information to transfer to other photographers and teaching them what I also enjoy so much. Namely: Photoshop! Editing cloudy and moodless photos into warm, magical and bright photos is an art in itself, believe me! But oh so fantastic to do! So I like to teach this to other photographers by sharing a lot of information and offering 1-on-1 help! Because as K3 once said: "Everyone can do magic"🪄
My motto is: Let's capture magic together
I have had a passion for taking photos all my life. When I got my first camera for my 15th birthday, my adventure began. I didn't like working for a boss at all and wanted to use my creativity and do things the way I wanted to do them. I wanted to do something for others and saw a future in this with photography. Since then, I have been a full-time photographer. I did not get my entrepreneurial spirit from a stranger, my parents used to have a restaurant and it didn't stop there... In 2022, I started a great adventure. I moved to Austria with my entire family. I also continued my photography in this beautiful country full of indescribable locations. I organize a photo trip in Austria every year especially for the dog and horse photographer. Now, after 2 years, I am active in both countries as a horse, dog and company photographer!
Now I alternate life in both countries and can make even more people happy with a magical memory or a professional company report.

Hi, I'm Anne!

-
As of this year, the trip is open to everyone from different countries! The main language spoken during the trip will differ from how many participants who come from a country. Of course I will translate everything I say into Dutch, German or English. The control of the models is automatically in German but I translate where necessary into Dutch or English extra. Do you find it exciting to participate in an international trip? I understand that, but you are not alone! For me this is also new, but this will come naturally during the trip, I'm sure! How fun is it to connect with different people!
-
Are you coming to fly to Austria? The airport closest to us is Innsbruck. Otherwise, Munich would also be an option. Both airports have good train options to us. The train station you should navigate to with us is: Bichlbach. If you can't figure it out or have any questions you can always send me a message!
