Capturing the life you work so hard to live.

Hey, my name is Liza

Hi, I’m Liza—photographer, storyteller, and founder of Cow Pony Productions, based in Stephenville, Texas. I got my start with my Mimi’s old camera and a love for documenting real life—something she always encouraged. After she passed, that camera became a way to hold onto memories, and eventually, a way to build something of my own. What began as taking photos for fun at the barn quickly grew into a full-time business. Since 2022, Cow Pony Productions has helped equine brands, horse owners, and western businesses stand out with visuals that connect.


From stallion portraits to sale horses, from the show pen to milestone moments—I’m here to tell stories that matter. I’ve built this business to stay close to the horse world, to support the people in it, and to chase the kind of life I always dreamed of. I’m deeply grateful for the cow horse community and the mentors who welcomed me in. Whether I’m filming a run, capturing a new foal, or shooting in the Tetons, my goal is always the same: to create content that makes people feel proud, connected, and seen.

My photos as paintings

Jolee French is a very talented Western artist who happens to live just down the road from me! I’ve been lucky enough to have a few of my photos turned into her beautiful paintings, and it’s been such an honor to see them reimagined through her brush. One of the coolest moments was getting to see those pieces displayed in an art gallery—her work brings a whole new life to the scenes I’ve captured.
