Best of 2019: Leesa & Gemma’s // Horse & Rider Photo Shoots

Apr 6, 2020 | Horse and Rider Photo Shoots

The penultimate ‘Best of 2019’ blog is here… And this is definitely a favourite from last year. Back at the end of September I had the pleasure of working with Leesa & Gemma with their stunning matching black beauties, Dino the spotty superstar...

Adventuring with kids is by no means an easy task Adventuring with kids is by no means an easy task (As Iโ€™ve discovered myself over the last year and a half) but Katy & Jonny make it look pretty effortless and a whole lot of fun! I met these guys and their two gorgeous little ones last month for a Family Adventure Film + Photo Shoot at Moel Famau in the Clwydian Range in North Wales. Combining stills with film and hiking up a mountain capturing and creating special memories for families is very much my happy place right now! Being out with a family who are doing what they love, allows me to capture them at their most relaxed and happiest. Thereโ€™s no โ€˜posingโ€™ for the camera, no retakes, just a whole lot of intention behind what Iโ€™m aiming to capture and then allowing the morning to flow as it more or less would naturally. I feel itโ€™s a sort of hybrid documentary approach! With a Family Adventure Film + Photo Shoot there is never any pressure to โ€˜reach the summitโ€™ or have a big wow moment, itโ€™s all about capturing time spent together as a family. Being in a beautiful location such as the Clwyd Mountains certainly gives us a stunning backdrop but your local woods can tell just as important a story for you as a family. I can promise you that there was absolutely nothing prompted or scripted about the dialogue between Katy & Lily at the end of the film. When Katy asks Lily what her favourite part of the morning has been and Lily replies, โ€˜being with youโ€™ I realised this is literally the reason Iโ€™m making this move into both working more with families and incorporating filmmaking into my work. This is a moment that Katy will be able to relive and rewatch for the rest of her life and bring her right back to this moment. Yes, life with little ones can be chaotic, itโ€™s full on and can feel overwhelming at times but these moments are what itโ€™s all about. Being able to capture them and preserve them for a lifetime is what my Family Adventure Film + Photo Shoots aim to do. To see the full results from this Photo & Film Shoot head to the blog link in my bio or get in touch to find out more about my introductory offerย for Adventure Shoots this Autumn.

What exactly is a Family Adventure Shoot? ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ”๏ธ โ™ฅ๏ธ What exactly is a Family Adventure Shoot? ๐Ÿ“ธ ๐Ÿ”๏ธ โ™ฅ๏ธ Do you love spending your family time adventuring together in the great outdoors? Does the sight of mountains approaching in the distance make your heart sing? Do you love plotting adventures for yourself and your little people? Whether youโ€™re treasure hunting bugs, playing in the woods or flying down hillsides on two wheels I am here to capture & create the most precious of memories for you. My Film & Photo Shoots are as far from an overly posed studio session as you can get but leave you with a set of images & film that can be hung proudly on your walls & rewatched time & time again! My family adventure shoots are all about creating REAL, AUTHENTIC memories for you and your family. They donโ€™t have to be filmed on the highest peaks, in fact you donโ€™t even have to reach the peak! Itโ€™s about you as a family, connecting, having fun and doing what you love doing most. Youโ€™re just bringing me along for the ride! Check out Katyโ€™s family photos which we shot as part of her Film & Photo shoot at the end of August on the well trodden paths of Moel Famau in North Wales. Having a 3 ยฝ year old and a 15 month old certainly changes the speed of an adventure but it makes the hot chocolate at the end taste even sweeter! I had the best time working with these guys (even if I did have to sacrifice my emergency banana for the sake of the shoot!) ๐ŸŒ If you would like to chat about what a Family Adventure Shoot would look like for your family please get in touch. I am so excited to share the finished film with you all in the next few days! Stay tuned! Ciara ๐Ÿ“ธ #familyphotographer #familyfilmandphotoshoot #moelfamau #familyadventureshoot
