At the age of 10, I began using my step-dad's DSLR and loved experimenting with different angles and the settings on the camera. For the first few years I was always shooting landscapes and flowers out on our dog walks and at the stables. I remember the excitement of capturing the beauty in nature and being so proud of the photos I was taking.

As a teenager I then gravitated to capturing my mum's horse Lily, and capturing the special moments between them out on hacks, at a show and on pleasure rides. Capturing horses and our dogs became my true passion and I felt so proud to be able to capture them to keep forever.

At 16, I Studied A level Photography where the focus was on architecture but it allowed me 2 years to learn everything I could about my DSLR in order to shoot high quality images. During this time I also developed skills using photoshop which I then practiced at the stables. At the end of the course I received a Grade B.

At 18, we moved stables which was the best move for the horses but also for my photography. Every show that my friends went to, I went too to capture the moments for them. Our stables also began organising jumping days and games day for all liveries to get involved, which abled me to shoot all day and provide high quality images for them.

At 20, with encouragement from my stable family, I decided to put myself out there to build my portfolio and turn my passion and hobby into a business and career.

I joined the team because I have always had a passion for taking photos and posting my work on social media , so in year 8 I decided to pick photography for my GCSE's . In year 9 I have really enjoyed doing photography by taking the photos and editing them . For the business I am the social media manager which I have really enjoyed doing , so I do all the edits and posting on social media .I started editing and really enjoying photography at the age of 11 and I am now 14 . I have a pony called Maisie who I have had for 4 years and will never have a bond with another horse like I have with her . Being part of the team we get to capture the photos that show our true bond that will last forever . I will be on the photoshoots to get experience for the future in photography .
