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.

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 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!

Gemma and her horse Serena, a Welsh chestnut mare, share a remarkable story of friendship and equestrian partnership. Their journey began when Serena was just a year old, a raw and unhandled filly grazing in a field. As a 13th birthday present, Serena was brought home to Gemma, marking the start of a lifelong bond.

Rebecca, a seasoned Equestrian with a passion that runs deep, has been in the saddle since she can remember. Her journey with Winnie, a stunning 5-year-old Palomino mare, began when Winnie was just a mere 3-year-old. From the very start, Rebecca took the reins, backing and training Winnie herself. This hands-on approach has cultivated a bond that is as strong as it is beautiful.
