Kati Haynes, Founder of Upstate Photo Community

Hey photographers! I’m happy you’re here!

I started this community to bring back inspiration to my own photography. Life in the Hudson Valley is beautiful but after many years of taking photos of the same subjects, I was beginning to lose my passion for photography. I started this group as New Paltz Photo Club but as time went on I wanted to expand our photo walks to places beyond New Paltz. So, welcome to our Upstate Photo Community!

I feel that this is as much mine as it is yours. Please join our photo walks, participate in our groups, and let me know what you’d like to get out of this community to help inspire your own photography.
