Why I’ll Never Pose You: Capturing Your Natural Connection at Your Horse Photoshoot
Your Horse Photoshoot
When it comes to photographing you and your horse, I often adopt a no-pose rule!
That might sound a bit surprising, especially if you’re expecting a session full of instructions and awkward smiles. But here’s the thing—I believe the most beautiful, meaningful photographs come from genuine moments, not forced ones.
Your relationship with your horse is built on trust, comfort, and shared history. It deserves to be captured exactly as it is. That’s why every horse photoshoot I do is relaxed, unhurried, and guided by the connection you already share. We’ll head to a location that’s familiar and special to both of you—perhaps your yard, a favourite field, or a quiet track you both love—and simply take our time.
I’ll gently guide you if needed, especially at the start, as you get used to me being there. But I promise you won’t hear me say, “Stand here and smile at the camera.” Instead, I’ll ask you to chat with your horse, and look out for those little moments: the cuddle, the shared glance, the way your horse rests their head on your shoulder. Those are the moments that matter. That’s your story.
Clients often tell me after a session how easy and comfortable it felt—and how surprised they are that being photographed could be so enjoyable. And I believe, it’s because we’ve kept it real. No pressure, no awkwardness, just you and your horse, being yourselves.
If you’re thinking about booking a session but feeling nervous about being in front of the camera, I understand. I’ve been there too. But know that my aim is always to make you feel at ease, so the experience becomes a wonderful memory and experience in itself.
So, if you’re ready to celebrate your unique bond and connection with your horse, just as it is, in a place that means something to you both, I’d love to help you do that—naturally, honestly, and beautifully.
