Wild & Free - Equine & Pet Photography

The weather had plans of its own at my last sunset session, safe to say Ildiko is not just a fair weather rider! We captured some stunning photos with dramatic moody skies as a thunderstorm rolled across the hills behind us, before hightailing it down to the barn as the skies opened up and the rain came pouring down. Certainly an evening to remember!

Sarah had the perfect stable entry for these elegant black background photos of Patty, if you have a large entrance into a stable or similar space this is definitely something we can include in your own equine photo shoot!

Sarah & Dragon ❤️This handsome gentleman is living out his golden years in absolute luxury, just like every horse who has given his best years deserves.

Such sweet soulful eyes on gentle Leo… he was a little camera shy at first (then again, who isn’t? 😌) but we quickly became friends 🥰

Little Prince was very charming in his recent portrait session... also as cheeky as he is cute!

Beautiful Patty is that perfect pony that every girl has dreamed of... it was truly a pleasure to capture this gorgeous boy and his stunning dapples with his lovely owner Sarah 🥰

Gracie & Buddy 💕 two peas in a pod! I had a lovely time playing in the gardens at sunset with these sweet Cavalier King Charles Spaniels

I had a great time at Pakenham Upper Pony Club yesterday taking photos for their freshmans jumping day - what a lovely group of people and the grounds were just stunning! Photos from the event will be available for purchase later this week once I've had a chance to sort and edit 🙂

Very much looking forward to some outdoor dog sessions I've lined up over the next few weeks, spring has finally sprung and the gardens are coming back to life 🌿

Not long now until daylight savings is back, along with warmer evenings and sunny days... I for one can't wait 😄 Summer sunset shoots are my favourite!

Is there anything cuter than a little kitten dreaming?

I love little Nala's pretty eyes 😍 I usually shoot outdoor portraits but this was taken in a fairly dark room with a 50mm lens, f/2 and 1/100 shutter speed, which resulted in a beautiful blurred background and just the eyes in sharp focus to capture that beautiful stare 💕

If God made anything more beautiful than the horse, he kept it for himself...

They don't get any cheekier than this little rascal! A little bundle of never ending energy, what a fun little friend he is 💕

Sunset is always better through the ears of a horse ✨

Sweet little Nala... Three weeks ago we found this little darling with three brothers running wild at my sister's farm, we quickly decided to trap them and bring them home to tame them so they could have a better life and grow up as pets. It's taken many hours of patience and love, but Nala has now completely transformed from a hissy, terrified baby to the most wonderfully sweet and cuddly kitty, she's just so so lovely 🥰

This dear little wallaby appears to be smiling ☺️ another friend from our recent visit to Phillip Island

Something a little bit different - a Tawny Frogmouth found at Phillip Island Wildlife Park, such a captivating stare on this unique bird!

✨ Poet the Noble ✨ a throwback to warmer days and beach shoots last summer... This handsome lad was an absolute pleasure to work with.

Our annual winter trip to Phillip Island last week did not disappoint, was so lovely to see some familiar furry faces at the local wildlife park 🐨
