Emma, Hercules, and Drayus: Like Mother like Daughter
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Emma and her two stunning black and white cobs, Hercules and Drayus, at their beautiful private yard. Emma had invited me down to capture some special moments with her boys, and also to include her mother, who shares her passion for riding. Their yard is a peaceful haven, with trees lining the paddocks and a lovely hacking route nearby that follows a train line. Surprisingly, the trains were quite busy that day, but the boys were absolute pros, posing for their photos without batting an eye!
Niamh and Bleu: A Dreamy Equestrian Photoshoot
Niamh had dreamt of an Equestrian Photoshoot with her stunning white Cob, Bleu, for a while. Finally, this October, she booked her experience with me, and despite a slight hiccup with a weather-related reschedule (white horses and muddy fields don't mix!), we ended up with the perfect Autumn Day. The sun shone brightly, the air was warm, and incredibly, Bleu was sparkling clean – a testament to the hard work Niamh and her mum put in preparing him for his photoshoot!

Rebecca, a seasoned Equestrian with a passion that runs deep, has been in the saddle since she can remember.

This hands-on approach has cultivated a bond that is as strong as it is beautiful.
