Well what a week that was at The riders and the horses were amazing 😍 the weather was questionable ⛅ 💨 and my head ( all week migraine) was terrible 🫩🥴
I am sorry that my days were cut short with feeling sick and unable to focus but I'm hoping with 5 photographers around the show we managed to capture everyone 😊😊
Photos are slowly being uploaded now and the rest will be loaded tomorrow. I hope you all had an amazing week, achieved some goals, made new friends and got home safely.
You will be able to find the photos here

While I sit and have some lunch I thought I'd show you some of today's highlights 😊

Well between the wind, rain, migraines and afternoon naps ( to try help the head) I have managed to get out and capture some photos from
I'm loving seeing the teams cheering each other on and still out there trying their best though the weather has been terrible. Can't wait for the next few days. Here's a quick look at the first 2 days.

This is exactly why I love being a photographer ❤️

It’s not just about taking a photo — it’s about capturing moments and the people we love, creating memories that can be treasured for a lifetime.

This is my Dad with his great-grandson, and I love knowing that one day this photo will be something they can look back on and remember this special moment forever. ❤️📸

I don't only capture memories with your animals. I do also offer family portraits, weddings and business events.

The blossoms are blossoming and birds are tweeting and eating and there's one photographer with hardly any energy but is wanting to do a photoshoot with blossoms. Does anyone know of a location with them!?

Well… I found the very first photo I ever printed and I’m slightly horrified 😂📸

I honestly can’t believe how far this little photography business has come over the last 15ish years! What started with a camera and a bit of “let’s see what happens” has turned into horse shows, muddy boots, ridiculous early mornings and some bloody amazing people. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to everyone who has supported me, booked me, recommended me, shared my posts and become friends along the way. I genuinely wouldn’t still be doing this without you. 🥰

The business is going strong and I’m planning on making it bigger and better!

This season will be a little different after my myocarditis adventure. I’ve been told I need to be a bit more sensible with my health… apparently “just keep going” isn’t medical advice. 😂 So I’ll still be saying YES to plenty of horse shows, but unfortunately I’ll have to say NO to some too, which breaks my heart.

There’ll also maybe a small price increase coming this season thanks to the cost of living — because apparently my bills don’t care about my feelings and trying to keep things cheaper for you 😂💸

If you want to book me for the upcoming season, please get in touch early. If I can’t cover your show, I’ll happily point you towards some bloody brilliant photographers I’ve worked with.

Here’s to another season of horses, photos, chaos and hopefully less rain! 😂❤️

Thank you for 15ish years — I really do appreciate you all! 📸🥰

This beautiful golden oldie popped up in my memories today. 🐾❤️

Looking bac, these photos mean so much more now than they did when I took them.
Don't wait until it's too late. Our pets are family, and they deserve to have their story captured while they're still by our side.
One day, these photos will be priceless. 🥰

If you've been thinking about booking a session with your four-legged bestie, consider this your sign.
