This cutie patootie and her beloved Fly had their time to shine in front of the camera in 2020. Remember that insane year!? We actually only managed half of the shoot as the rain decided to make an appearance. However, even with only half a shoot the results were everything Carlotta and her Mum Amanda could wish for. Carlotta and Fly have built a beautiful relationship, it’s the most important element of a photo shoot. Capturing the real connection between you and your horse is top of[...]
It’s wonderful to be back shooting full time and what feels pretty normal now. I have a very full diary for the rest of the year and the start of next year and I couldn’t be happier. Creating and capturing memories once again. This shoot included Rebecca’s beloved mare Catwoman, her husband Oliver and her three dogs Charlie, Shay and Lucy. We started on the yard, this is a known area for a horse, it’s a place they feel safe, secure and confident and is a great relaxer into the shoot. He[...]
At long last it feels like Spring is just around the corner. My diary is chocker block full of exciting and inspiring photo shoots. I will be visiting one of my favourite yards a mere 8 times in the next 8 weeks for a total of 13 photo shoots!

This trip has been about a year in the making and this is only the start. In 2017 I was commissioned to photograph a client, her daughter and their 5 horses in their english livery yard, just before they moved back to the USA. The horses needed to stay in the UK while they set up their new home and barn in Boston, MA and my client knew she wanted framed images of their love and friendship to keep her sane while they built the horses their new homes. When we met, we had one of thos[...]
I thought I would photograph a location from my phone, as someone who is just walking around this (albeit incredible) yard would see the locations, to the finished images that were shot here. So here we go!
I have been a professional photographer for over 18 years. In all of this time, whatever I have photographed I have captured a personal connection with a lifestyle feel to all images. Even when I was photographing on the event field with top event riders such as Harry Meade and William Fox-Pitt, it was the preparation and lifestyle that I was interested in capturing. I would often be up at the same time as the grooms, part of the story I am telling is the incredible work that goes into Ev[...]
