“I don’t know how to describe it. Betsy is simultaneously professional and your new best friend. It’s weird. People just gravitate to her.”
Betsy Bird of Ride the Sky Equine Photography spends her days doing insane things to make horses look at her. Clearly, she’s desperate for attention.
Outside of acting like a total weirdo, she invests in growing her business, hanging with her favorite dog, Nitro, mentoring aspiring and established photographers, dealing with her teenagers’ angst, and planning her next big wheels-up adventure.
Betsy holds a Photographic Craftsman degree and is a Certified Professional Photographer (CPP) with the Professional Photographers of America (PPA). She serves on the Executive Board of Directors for the Professional Photographers of East Tennessee (PPETN) and on the Board of Directors of the Tennessee Professional Photographers Association (TNPPA). Additionally, she is a member of the American Society of Photographers (ASP), and the Equine Photographers Network (EPN).
Along with her co-author, Cara Taylor Swift, Betsy literally wrote the book on posing horses and humans. The book, Equine & Equestrian Photography Poses that Sell, was published in 2024 and is available on Amazon.
Betsy’s award-winning work has been featured in a variety of publications and is found throughout homes and stables in the United States. She is also been featured on The Business Animal Podcast, The Profitable Photographer with Luci Dumas, The Focal Points Podcast with Dorie Howell, Cowgirls with Cameras, Scenic Trend, Chrome Magazine, Chatter Magazine, and the Chattanoogan to name a few.
