Some kind words from the lovely Freya to start todays blog-

​

‘Sophie has been the most perfect photographer! ​

I really felt like I had known Sophie for years, she made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera and has a great eye for detail from around the yard to styling my outfits.  The bond between myself and my horse really shone through in the photos and it was an experience I will never forget!

Thank you Sophie, keep doing what you’re doing’

I first met the lovely Freya very briefly when she came to say hello at my stand and entered my show competition at Devon County Show last year. When I drew the winner a few weeks later, Freya was beyond excited when she found out that she had won and I couldn't wait to photograph her!

Bright and early on a gorgeous Friday morning, I made my way down to Freya's pictoresque yard near Bovey Tracey in Devon. I arrived to a stunning array of outfits and jackets laid out ready to style Freya for her photoshoot.


 We chose our favourites and started in our first location, the stable before heading out to the field with a few more outfits.

We finished with a few gorgeous bareback shots as Freya's special request. Paddy was an absolute superstar and Freya totally smashed it. I'd also like to thank Freya for the box of Heroes she gave me as a Thank you! I truly appreciate it.
