A Birthday Surprise: Nicole's Equestrian Photoshoot
Birthdays are a time for celebration, and when it comes to surprises, Nicole's boyfriend, Tom, and best friend, Rebecca, truly knocked it out of the park. Their gift? A dream equestrian photoshoot featuring Nicole and her beloved horse Trio! This wasn't just any photoshoot; it was a carefully orchestrated surprise, which Nicole didn’t have a clue about until her actual Birthday a few days before the photoshoot.
Nicole's horse Trio, a gentle 28-year-old Tb x Cleveland Bay mare, is the centre of her world. So, what better way to celebrate Nicole's birthday than by capturing the special bond they share? The planning started weeks in advance, with Tom and Rebecca meticulously coordinating every detail.
I sent Nicole a Gift Voucher box to arrive on her Birthday, so when Nicole finally found out, she got straight in touch to let me know how excited she was. With the clock ticking, the preparations kicked into high gear. Rebecca, a talented hair stylist, stepped in to work her magic, ensuring Nicole looked and felt her absolute best. Big thanks to Tracey too, with her keen eye for fashion, who lent her expertise in choosing the perfect outfits for the shoot.
And it wasn't just Nicole who got the star treatment. Everyone pitched in to get Trio ready for her moment. From thorough grooming to polishing tack, no detail was overlooked. It was a true team effort, a testament to the love and affection everyone has for Nicole and her horse.
The day of the photoshoot arrived, and on meeting Nicole we were all pretty excited. Nicole, glowing with happiness, easily posed with Trio, their connection evident in every frame. I loved capturing the quiet understanding between them, the years of shared rides and gentle moments shining through. Trio, despite her age, seemed to relish the attention, striking elegant poses and proving that age is just a number when it comes to beauty and grace.
The entire photoshoot was a resounding success, a testament to the thoughtfulness of Tom and Rebecca, the dedication of Tracey, and the love that Nicole has for her horse. These photographs will be cherished for years to come, serving as a beautiful reminder of a special birthday and the enduring bond between a girl and her horse. It was a truly magical day, a celebration of friendship, love, and the enduring magic of horses.
“My partner and best friend booked me a surprise photoshoot with Victoria for my birthday. Anyone who knows me, knows that anything photography related is completely out of my comfort zone but I’d do it all again in a heartbeat! It was so relaxing, so much fun and I cannot recommend getting one done with Victoria enough. I felt completely at ease and it was like we’d known each other years! Thank you so much I cannot wait to see the results”
