Lockdown Memories

As I have mentioned before in my newsletters. During lockdown, I was soo keen to take photos, that I had too often dress up my kids, and do shoots with them. Ella’s granddad gave her his horse of 20 years old. She had done many trails and she is very experienced. Though Bukhra (Our new pet) is old, she is so keen to be ridden and the kids really enjoyed her whilst their riding school was closed. I think lock down was good in a sense because my kids got an opportunity to miss the things they did weekly, such as horse-riding, so they have come to appreciate it more. Ella literally asks me every week to saddle up Bukhra so she can ride.

Now that we have our own horse, and she likes people lol! I thought I’d do a shoot with my kids that could inspire my clients. If you now book a session with me for your kids and family, we have Bukhra as a friend to make it special. I am also keen to do some branded shoots with her, so excited to do more content with her too.

Enjoy these, not so perfect images. I love them anyway because they are true. Kids cry sometimes so it was evident that Lara would. And pets don’t always pose the way we want, so we had to make it work. But overall I love this shoot! P.S Your own kids never listen to you as photographer, but take photos of them anyway! Alternatively, book me!
