Horses have always been part of my world, so this side of my work feels deeply personal to me. It is inspired by the quieter beauty of country life and by the moments that so often go unnoticed. The soft light, the open space, the movement, the stillness, and the connection between horse and owner all shape the way I photograph it.
This is not about creating something overly styled or forced. It is about capturing what feels real. The familiar places, the small details, the atmosphere, and the relationship you have with your horse. Those are the things that matter, and those are the things I am drawn to.
Sessions are calm and unhurried, with plenty of time for your horse to settle and for things to unfold naturally. There is no pressure for everything to be perfect. Some of the most meaningful images come from the in between moments, when nothing is being forced and everything feels easy.
I will guide you where needed, but the overall feel is always relaxed. I want the experience to feel enjoyable rather than awkward, and for the final images to feel natural, elegant and true to you.
Sessions can take place wherever your horse feels most comfortable, at your yard, at home, in woodland, on the beach, or at any horse friendly location that feels meaningful to you.
For those able to travel, I also have access to beautiful private farmland in Hilderstone, Staffordshire during the spring, summer and autumn months for an additional fee. This location offers open fields, woodland and a gentle stream, a peaceful natural setting that photographs beautifully.
Travel within Staffordshire is included, and nationwide travel can be arranged if you are based further afield.
There is no strict formula when it comes to clothing. Country style outfits work beautifully for rustic outdoor sessions, but there is complete freedom to tailor your shoot to your vision. Some people lean towards a more classic country look, while others want something softer and more understated. Both can work beautifully.
Dresses, knitwear, denim, boots, tweed, or something simple and timeless all photograph well. The main thing is choosing something that feels like you and that you feel comfortable in.
Equestrian work is relaxed, patient and experience led. I focus on connection rather than perfection, allowing genuine moments to unfold naturally. That might mean portraits, quiet natural moments, close ups, movement, or a mixture of everything. I work with natural light and keep the whole experience as relaxed as possible.
I am always looking for images that feel calm, beautiful and full of character. The kind you will still love years from now.
Weather is part of country life, so I never expect every session to happen under perfect conditions. Soft light and cloudy skies are often far more beautiful than harsh sunlight.
For truly poor forecasts, we will simply reschedule.
Your images will be carefully edited and presented in a private online gallery for you to view in your own time. From there, you can choose your favourite digital images and any printed pieces you would like to keep.
Each image is individually edited with care, and a selection of digital collections, wall art and luxury albums is available.
If this side of my work speaks to you and you would like to create something special with your horse, I would love to hear from you. If you are looking for an equestrian photographer in Staffordshire or the Midlands who understands that these relationships are once in a lifetime and deserve to be remembered properly, then do get in touch.
