Betsy Bird is a marketing strategist with horse-girl energy and a workflow obsession who decided to stop choosing between her analytical and creative sides — so she built a business that lets her use both.

As the owner of Ride the Sky Equine Photography, she spends her days doing unhinged things to make animals look at her (clearly, she’s desperate for attention). Through Unbridled Business, she mentors photographers on building profitable, sustainable businesses without the chaos, helping them get organized, get strategic, and stop guessing.

Her award-winning equine and pet portraits appear in homes and stables across the United States, and she’s a frequent guest voice on photography and business podcasts. She is the co-author of Equine & Equestrian Photography Poses that Sell, and she and co-author Cara Taylor Swift are already knee-deep in their second book.

Betsy holds the Master of Photography and Photographic Craftsman degrees from Professional Photographers of America, is a Certified Professional Photographer, and holds her Tennessee Photographic Master and Service degrees from TNPPA. When she’s not helping photographers tighten their workflows or photographing opinionated chestnut mares, Betsy is juggling young adult drama and attempting to convince her Chief Barketing Officer & VP of Sock Acquisition & Retention, Derby, that chewing cords is not a transferable job skill.
