The ever beautiful Fames Dakota. It doesn't matter how many times I've photographed this stallion, he is always such a pleasure to work with.

I love a horse that shows me who they really are and Jovi is one of them. He expresses himself in both high energy and calm intimate moments.

I want to capture the person, not the animal and he is such a gorgeous soul to be around.

Exciting announcement for anyone who has bought or bred a Fames Dakota foal! I will be going on a photo tour with Silvabak Stud this August to meet and photograph his progeny. Full details in the original post, please message Robyn for further information and enquiries.

I can't wait to get on the road and meet your gorgeous Jovi babies!

A great read from edge bespoke picture framing outlining why it's worth considering bespoke picture framing for your artwork and photographs in comparison to ready-made frames.

I always encourage my clients to explore this option for their artwork as it offers superior protection with far more design options available that will really enhance the image and suit your personal interior style.

It really is worth the investment to properly look after your art and photographs with the pros and cons perfectly considered here by Bev.

A veterinary hospital is never the place I want to be meeting foals for the first time but unfortunately that's exactly where this little champ had his first photoshoot experience.

His prospects day by day weren't looking good and we had wondered if he would even stay with us long enough for me to meet him.

At just 9 days old, Togo had already stolen everyone's hearts and this photoshoot was geared up to potentially be commemorative for his breeder. Watching him playing in the field you would never guess his young body was fighting to stay alive.

Yet there was something about this lad that gave me hope he would pull through and I'm absolutely delighted to say that thanks to the care from staff at Bell Equine Veterinary Clinic he made it back home over a week ago.

Togo is a huge character for such a little body with a promising future ahead of him.

I hadn't photographed a foal since 2019, until last Friday...

Grateful to have been asked to photograph this years two gorgeous colts bred by Tacoma Stud Iberian-Mountain Sporthorse Breeders

Both boys are black silver, which is really easy to mistake at this stage for chestnut if you dont know otherwise but as they mature their coat will darken and mane and tail will remain flaxen to create a really striking contrast of colours.

Hopefully I'll have a chance to photograph these lads again before they're ready to head off to their new owners and I can show you just how gorgeous this colouring is!

I can't believe in almost 6 years photographing this lad we'd never done a formal stud shoot until now!

Fames Dakota has always been a star model for several photoshoots and one of those rare souls that can seemingly read my mind and pose perfectly every time.

But more than being a looker, he is an absolutely gorgeous stallion to know and work with. Jovi is so friendly and relaxed, beyond polite with both people and other horses and demonstrates beautifully the versatility of arabs. It's always a pleasure to watch this horse move and have the opportunity to photograph him.

The price we pay for love, is loss.

If photography can do one thing, it's give back a small piece of what time takes away from you.

So take photos. Capture memories, preserve their personality and give yourself a way back to your horse.

And if you need someone else to take those photos for you, my inbox is open.

Would your photos honestly stop you scrolling if they weren't yours? If not, then your ideal client isn't stopping either.

You know best the characteristics your clients look for in a horse. Whilst conformation and headshots certainly have their place, stud and sales shoots don't have to simply be your horse stood up square. They can play a much wider role in your overall marketing strategy.

So whichever quality you need capturing, ability, conformation or character, I’ll create images that help your horse and business stand out.

Head to my website for more on how I can capture eye-catching photos of your horses.

What I see V what the horse sees!

I really must get more behind the scenes content for you all. I am always fascinated and sometimes perplexed by some of the assumptions people make about how an image was created.

What are some assumptions you have?? I'd love to confirm or inform otherwise! Drop them in a comment!
