WHO WE ARE

Cowboy Collective is proudly certified as a woman-owned and minority-owned business committed to fostering diversity in creative arts.

Aninda Valentini

— Stock Manager —

Aninda found a camera under the Christmas tree in fifth grade, and she’s been collecting beautiful images ever since. She corrals the cowboys’ best shots into our stock photo collection—curating a collection of inspired, wide-ranging photos that’ll make any client tip their hat in our direction.

Desteney Edwards

— Graphic Designer —

Desteney grew up in a family of artists; today, her design expertise helps the Cowboys out with everything from t-shirt design to promotional client projects. Desteney’s artistic inspirations include saddling up for world travel and witnessing that perfect thunderstorm out on the range.

Lindsey Warren

— Retoucher —

Lindsey’s early love of both the artistic and technical sides of photography have served her—and us—well. Her retouching prowess gives our photos that extra punch, shifting light and conjuring up magical images like some kind of gosh-dang wizard. And her jack-of-all-trades skillset shows up in digitech work, marketing, and more.

Mailande Moran

— Copywriter —

Mailande has been wrangling words since she was a little tyke, burying her nose in a book at every possible opportunity. Today, she tends to her stable of Google Docs in order to complement the Cowboys’ visual work with that just-right turn of phrase.

Mandy Powers

— Retoucher —

Mandy fell head-over-spurs in love with photography after borrowing her dad’s film camera in high school, and she hasn’t looked back since. Her retouching work always gives our images some extra razzle-dazzle, and her production chops help her see the big picture of every project.

Megan Pennington

— Producer & Growth Strategist —

Megan plays two key roles at Cowboy: rustlin’ up our dream clients and making sure they’re thrilled with our work together. She’s got a knack for planning while in constant motion—she once spent years as full-time nomad!—and loves to sing the praises of cowboys and clients alike.

Molly Brock

— Video Editor —

Ever heard of these newfangled moving pictures? Well, Molly can tell you all about ‘em. She’s a quick-draw in the edit suite, making sure that our videos tell stories so good that you’ll want to share them around the campfire.

Natalia Weedy

— Director —

Natalia’s always pleased as punch to be behind the camera, but her work with the Cowboys keeps her eye on a different prize: to help move the needle on inclusive representation in the commercial photo/video industry, so that it better reflects the communities we work in.
