Jessica & Barney

The first thing I always say I love about my job is that it's so varied and different. Every shoot is totally bespoke. I'm pretty sure even if I attended the same client, two days in a row, the results would be totally different.

Now I know there are a lot of horse girls thinking "hell no! you won't get me in a dress!" and that's okay. But Jessica was dreaming of a shoot with dresses and flower garlands. A little magic captured of her magical partnership with her gorgeous coloured gelding, Barney.

Barney is really special to Jess. He used to be hired out for hunting and ragged around a bit, so now he has his own special human, the pair of them have an incredible bond.

I went to their gorgeous livery yard over in Grimsby this summer. We used a variety of locations, from his stable, to his paddock, to the local bridleways to create a huge variety of backdrops that complimented each of Jess's chosen outfits.

We started more casual and built up to the grand finale... The gorgeous cornflower blue dress and a garland to match. The ultimate princess portrait to finish the shoot for this special pair.

Barney was extremely patient with us, enjoying lots of snack breaks between outfit changes. We were even blessed with a little bit of sunshine towards the end which contributed to the magic on Jess's shoot day.

We had the most special viewing as well, I loved spending a few more hours with Jess and her mum choosing their favourite images and how to display them. I love getting these gorgeous images into my client's lives in a way I know will bring them joy for a lifetime.

Pinch me... Is this really my job? I am so incredibly lucky!
