Detail. Artistry. Passion.

Beaumirage Photography
I dedicate every free moment training my lens on an ever-expanding list of favourite subjects, especially those in nature. In particular, my lifetime love affair and personal experience with horses, fuels my unique ability to capture the beauty and excitement of the equine world and its participants, bringing them to life in stunningly memorable portraitures.

Combining my skills as a photographer with my design and Photoshop expertise, I create beautifully enhanced prints, finessed to perfection through digital artistry. Erase blemishes, perk up flat ears, delete boring backgrounds, drop in awesome scenery, combine multiple images – whatever detail it takes – to transform a simple shot into a remarkable work of art, I will make it happen!

“ Karin McDonald has taken Award-winning photos for the Eglinton and Caledon Hounds for well over a decade. Her fabulous images capture the spirit and joy we get from participating in riding with horses and hounds across the beautiful countryside. We use her photos for our annual magazine, website, FB and social media, calendars, and event posters on an ongoing basis. ​”
