I woke up a few days ago and something was different. At this moment, yet I didn't exactly know what. I went out of bed, opened the windows, got me a cup of coffee and just stood there watching the sun rising. The air seemed perfect, so fresh and vitalizing. With every breath I could feel the air filling my lungs - and my heart. The birds played right in front of my window and some dogs were barking. The first shafts of sunlight were reaching for me, while my cats just sat beside me, watching this world waking up. With my camera on the table and that coffee in my hand I could really say: I'm happy. I've never been happier before. For others, my life doesn't seem perfect. I'm living alone, working my ass off for at least 7 days a week untill late at night. I'm barely meeting friends and I still don't own the car I want. But although, my life is perfect. Suddenly I knew, what had changed: I'm in complete balance with my life, and finally looking forward waking up every morning. I'm thankful for all these amazing horses I meet every day and thankful for my family, which always support me no matter how busy I seem to be. I'm thankful for my lovely cats, which always make me coming home with that warm feeling in my heart and I'm thankful for this little gift which enables me to do what I love to do every day: Taking pictures of the most amazing creatures on earth - horses.

A few years ago I would have never dreamed of being there, where I stand today. So just don't ever give up reaching for your dreams. It might take a while, it might take YOU a while, but some day you will reach for the stars and you will be as happy as I am now. You are the master of your own fate and if you want to do something: Get your ass off this chair and just DO it! :)

Some Updates

3 min read



After I almost forgot about my DeviantArt-Account I decided to update my profile. New DeviantID-photo, new gallery, kicking out all the old stuff.

For I was a young girl loving to take photos of animals 4 years ago when I made this account, now I'm a professionell and self-employeed animal-photographer in Germany. I got my first cooperations with agencies and magazines, private customers book me as well and I can do what I love all day long. I think, this is called "luck", (and I really deserve it, I'm working my ass off for more than a year now!) and I'm thankful for this every and each day!

I'm sorry, if my fair comment seems to be rude to some people. I just meant to be honest, to give advice for improving yourself. If someone just don't like getting fair comment, it's really sad. Without knowing what's wrong with your picture, you won't ever get better. And is getting better not a goal of all photographers? - At least, I thought so. Thought wrong, it seems. Sadly the ones with an overbearing selfconfidence are always the ones who  take terrible photos; while the rest of the good ones are full of doubt.

Have fun browsing through my new gallery!
