ABOUT

Hi there,

I’m Jenny Bateman, a passionate photographer specializing in sports, horses, and pets. I live in Kimberley, BC, But I am willing and LOVE to travel. Animals have been a lifelong love of mine, with dogs and horses holding a particularly special place in my heart.

Fun Fact: In Grade 7, I made my way down a back road to the local horse guiding ranch and boldly asked for a job. From then until Grade 9, I was thrilled to shovel stalls, saddle horses, and eventually lead trail rides. It never occurred to me that I should ask to be paid; spending a day around horses was worth more than I could imagine.

I didn’t welcome my first dog into my life until my early 20s—my mom claimed she was allergic. Still, even before owning one, I sensed dogs offered a kind of companionship unmatched by anything else. I was right, and now I can’t imagine my life without them. I only hope I give my dogs even a fraction of the joy and love they’ve given me.

In my 20s, I discovered a passion for photography. There’s something magical about looking through the lens—It inspires me to notice and appreciate the world’s details with a wondrous curiosity.

My camera has taken me to many places, but the moments I cherish most are:

• Down in the dirt, arena-side at a rodeo or any horse event, honestly.

• Out in the field or beside the course, hidden in the grass, capturing athletes in action and celebrating their dedication.

• And, last but not least, down low where dogs can let their untamed spirits free.

While I truly love capturing the action in every shoot, I find equal joy in photographing the in-between moments—the subtle interactions and genuine expressions that bring each story to life. These moments add warmth and humanity to every image, and I hope you will treasure them for years to come.

Simone Bourrassa

“ Jenny is a joy to be around. She has a natural way with people and makes everyone feel very comfortable and at home.

Her images are creative and professional. She gives a unique perspective to landscapes and subjects which sets her photography to the next level. My favorite quality of Jenny's images and her overall style as a photographer is her keen ability to see and tell a story through her photographs, not a skill every photographer has. For our non profit organization this is particularly important and Jenny has shown her ability to convey the story and emotion through her images time and time again.

I would highly recommend Jenny for thoughtful, creative and beautiful images.

Thank you Jenny for capturing the beauty of the world in photographs for us to enjoy.”
