Wendy operated a club calf sale preparation business along with the photography business until the early nineties.
  In 1992 Wendy married long-time friend Mike Hall, Professor and Beef Cattle Specialist at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo.  She then began working as a part-time lecturer at Cal Poly in 1994.  Since that time Wendy has been the Faculty Advisor for Cal Poly’s Western Bonanza Junior Livestock Show and teaches the Livestock Show Management courses associated with the organization of the show.
The “COWFOTO” business began primarily to assist local cattle breeders with their photo needs for sale catalogs and advertising.  Over the years many livestock shows and livestock events have been added to the calendar each year.
Wendy has been the Official Photographer of the California State Fair and the Grand National at the Cow Place for 20 years. Many long-time and valued relationships have been established through the business over the past 25 years.  “The best part of the business is the people you meet, the young livestock enthusiasts that you watch grow into outstanding adults and of course the opportunity to be around some of the best livestock in the country.”
COWFOTO jumped in the digital photography world in 2002.  Digital photography has made the business better in every way.  Quality, ease of image storage and the ability to send photos within minutes to magazines has made a huge difference in the business. The ability to show the customer the photo on the computer within minutes of taking it has revolutionized the entire photography business.Wendy prides herself always striving to take the best picture every time.  Quality of the photograph is very important and always making the animal look as good as possible is the goal. Photographs are always fully guaranteed for quality and full retouching services are available.
