Back in July, I had the pleasure of working with Jen and her family again on a Family & Animals Photo + Film Shoot. After initial attempts to do this shoot earlier in the Summer which were rescheduled due to the heatwaves we finally made it happen and it ended up being almost 5 years to the day from our last shoot! What are the chances?! With a new addition to the family and different ponies for rapidly growing girls, it was a lot of fun working with these guys again.

I’ll be honest, film editing use to make me groan, procrastinate and eventually message my brother and see if he could do something with the footage! I’ve always loved the idea and the end results but the bit in the middle used to scramble my brain and fill me with dread! However, having dived so much deeper into the art of filmmaking earlier this year I now LOVE the whole process! Edit and all! I learnt it was less about how good you are at navigating the technical side of film editing software (although there’s been plenty of learning there) and far more about getting to grips with the story you want to tell.

While the polished and more often than not somewhat posed photos have a special place on the walls of your home, I love the authentic family dynamics that film manages to capture. The sound of your ponies hooves on the yard, a shout for ‘Dad, no, wait I mean Mum’ and the sound of your children giggling are memories that are only going to get more precious over time. Offering a combination of both photography & film is filling me with a lot of joy these days!

There is still a lot to learn but I’m pretty proud of this little gem that we managed to film in a couple of hours. The Fryer Family are a gorgeous bunch and it was so lovely to work with them again!

I have an introductory rate for my films for the rest of the year so please get in touch if you’d like to learn more or to enquire about booking your own shoot in for this Autumn
