I love to capture the bond between horse and human, it's something so incredibly special.

I also have an eye for costume, especially timeless silhouettes and historical themes and have over 170 gowns in my photoshoot wardrobe.

I enjoy creating unique images by combining my art background with Photoshop, the resulting images are eye-catching and make breath taking wall art.

You can book me for a portrait or yard shoot. I love romance and wedding photography and have won awards for my fine art, equine, portrait, PR and brand photography.

WELCOME...


Based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, I have been a keen photographer since my teenage years, my early goals as a photographer were to create clean, sharp images to use as references for my career as a Fine Artist...... How far I have moved away from this starting point!

Over the last 10 years the images I take are being seen as 'art' in their own right; the capture of light, the narrative, the staging, makeup and styling, compositions and now, editing effects and Photoshop image manipulation creating final pieces that have a more magical quality. In this way I feel I am combining my skill as a traditional painter with my passion of photography and using Photoshop to blend the two together creating an original vision.......

My horse obsession often comes to the fore; a horse owner since my childhood has led to competing, judging, breeding and breaking-in horses as well as a stint as a lead-rein mum! Then equine painter and equine photographer, I also make my own halters and create ornate faux armour..

I love to take an idea from conception, put my twist on the styling and editing and then present my unique vision as wall art, album collections or simply memories to treasure...

I don't just shoot stunt riders and influencers, I love to capture beautiful images of any equine and their owner, plus portraiture, conceptual and fine art images, commercial PR and products and in fact, any four-legged friend and family...

Below is my basic price list including digital only and print only image packages. I am happy to be flexible and to create a bespoke package if requested.

I am based in South Yorkshire, S75, but willing to travel across the UK if my travel fees are reimbursed.

"REFLECTIONS​" 2022 THEME WINNER

​​From endless materials and objects around us, glass water, rivers or drifting tides reflections have long been a wonderful part of many magnificent images in photography. What really seems to set them apart always seems to be a step away from the traditional rules as though them seem to take on a personal introspective perspective while being framed up.
