I had the best time with Ellie and her gorgeous ponies at their family farm in Duffield, Derbyshire.

Mum, Suzi, has always supported me so generously purchasing photos from shows and after photographing them at events for years, so it was a real privilege being let into their home to photograph Ellie in a different way with her ponies.


I was absolutely obsessed with their farm... cobbled stables, wooden painted stable doors, rolling hills, stone walls... my absolutely favourite type of portrait session location. I was so spoiled for choice, we even had a beautiful summer evening after school.


The farm has been in the family for generations, and Ellie was showing me some of the old barns and what used to happen in them... I absolutely love stuff like that! It's so interesting, and how special to have such a beautiful farm in the family.

Ellie picked out some gorgeous dresses, ad we took it in turns between different ponies and outfits and even different locations on the farm. This created a huge variety of images for them, it was really hard to choose a few favourites to share here!


Star, Theo, Cloudy & Ruby were the stars of the show. Suzi went through a huge amount of effort getting the ponies ready, they looked absolutely spotless!

I think when a portrait session finishes with an ice lolly you know it has been a good one!

As the sun set over the family farm, we captured a moment in time—a girl and her ponies, just as they are now.


Childhood moves fast, and these days of riding, playing, and growing alongside her animals won’t last forever. Photographs keep these memories alive long after the moment has passed.


If these images have inspired you, don’t wait—capture your children now, before time moves on.
