Thinking about booking a photoshoot, but you keep putting it off?
If you've ever thought about booking a photoshoot but haven't quite got round to it yet... you are definitely not the only one.
In fact, almost everyone I work with has said at least one of these things before their session.
"I want to lose weight before a photoshoot"
"I want to lose a bit of weight first"
I want to feel fitter"
This is one of the most common reasons people delay booking.
But the truth is, if you wait until you feel completely confident, you might be waiting a long time. You don't need to feel your best to be photographed beautifully, that's part of the experience.
"My horse isn't ready for a photoshoot yet"
"My horse needs to lose weight... or put some on"
"I'll wait until they've lost their coat"
Horses change throughout the seasons, and there will always be something that feels like it could be "better".
But your horse doesn't need to look perfect. The connection, the character, and the quiet moments matter so much more.
"I'm not photogenic (and neither is my horse)"
"I'm not very photogenic"
"My horse isn't either"
Being photogenic isn't something you either are or aren't, it comes from feeling comfortable, relaxed and gently guided through the process.
"I don't know how to pose (and my horse won't stand still)"
"I can never get their ears forward"
"They won't stand still"
You don't need to know what you are doing, that's my job.
I guide you through everything, and we work with your horse rather than trying to control every moment.
"I don't have the right outfit or location"
"I don't have the right outfit"
"My yard isn't very pretty"
You don't need a perfect wardrobe or a picture perfect location.
Simple, natural choices always work beautifully, and I can help guide you with what photographs best.
Feeling nervous about a photoshoot is completely normal
"I feel a bit nervous about it all"
This might be the biggest one of them all.
And honestly, it's completely normal.
Most people feel this way before their session, but it never lasts long once we get started.
The truth about booking a photoshoot
It's so easy to feel like everything needs to be just right before you book.
Like you need to feel more confident, or your horse needs to look a certain way, or life needs to feel a bit calmer.
But that moment where everything feels perfectly ready? It doesn't really come.
Why you don't need to wait
Your horse doesn't need to stand still the whole time.
They don't need to have their ears forward in every image.
You don't need to know how to pose.
You don't need to feel confident beforehand.
That's what I am there for.
My approach is calm and relaxed. We take things slowly, work with your horse, and create space for natural moments to happen.

You don't need to wait.
You just need to start.
