There comes a time when making room for what's next means quietly closing a few doors behind you.
From the bottom of my heart, first and foremost I want to thank every person who has trusted me in designing or photographing for them in the past 9 years. UFD started in 2017 by reaching out to stallion pages on Facebook offering free, very poorly curated amateur ads. Through those simple messages, I have built lasting friendships with people not only across the country, but in different countries. Through the trials and tribulations we have had stunning pieces in multiple magazines, I have surpassed what I thought was possible to create, I've grown found of programs outside of my realm, and made many friends at events I've photographed.
You have all built UFD up to the point that if I dropped my full-time job, I could support myself and continue to build this business. Instead, I decided to scale back UFD and chase my passion in the "real world". I am both happy, and sad, to report I have the career I've been building towards, and no longer have the time to take on graphic design or photography clients.
The 2026 Cheshire Fair was the last horse show we accepted, exhibitors from the Fair will have 30 Days to finish out any lingering orders. Our website will be shut down soon, and anyone who we've built a website for has ownership at of this time. We are no longer taking graphic design orders, and our last clients are in the process of choosing final drafts.
I again cant thank you all enough for the love, support, and kindness I've received in the last 9 years. I've whole heartedly enjoying creating art for this industry, and several others. If you sell apparel with logos I've created, I'm always willing to buy and add to my growing collection.
Hope to see you in the pen,
Laura.
