After many photoshoots together over the last few years, I'm fortunate that Bella has become a good friend and loyal client. So when Bella mentioned that she wanted to purchase a voucher to gift to her mum, Lynne, I was so excited! I knew she wanted to capture more than just pretty pictures. It was about preserving the precious moments they shared together, with their heart horses.


​August is the perfect time for dreamy golden hour photoshoots. So with a bit of planning and a lot of luck we were blessed with some stunning sunshine! ​

Bella and Lynne had been busy planning outfits, so when I arrived all that was left to do was to choose favourite outfits, have a quick sip of Prosecco and grab the horses. Lynne went for a gorgeous blue summer dress followed by, a firm favourite of mine, the classic jeans and white shirt.


Whilst Bella styled stunning boho outfits with a beautiful white skirt and top followed by a stunning silky dress. Both looked amazing and complimented each other perfectly.

This summer shoot was particularly special. Both Bella and Lynne's gorgeous horses, Merlin and Rosa are getting older and after a long time with the family it was important to capture memories of them both whilst still in their prime and looking their best.

Bella has had Merlin for 10 years and he really is part of the family. He's Bella's best friend and she's shared their journey together doing all sorts together on social media- Balian Equestrian.

Lynnes lovely mare Rosa, is also a golden oldie but an absolute superstar. Lynne bought Rosa when Bella was young as a pony to lead Bella off of and she's never looked back. She's an absolute superstar.


This shoot was simply delicious and I am so glad we were able to capture these incredible memories.

Thank you Lynne and Bella for trusting me with your gorgeous ponies!
