If you haven’t heard of Chloe & Spirit then I suggest you head over to their pretty phenomenal Instagram account to check them out. I came across them a few years ago and did what nearly 275,000 other people also do and started following them on Instagram!...

And here was me thinking I had a nice, quiet bank And here was me thinking I had a nice, quiet bank holiday weekend ahead of me… It all kicked off on Friday. I was just settling down for a nice chilled morning of editing when I saw a post on a photography group I’m a part of that a photographer needed some help. She was stuck in hospital and had a wedding to shoot in Chester! Not what I had planned for the day but luckily I could make it work and as my camera bag was already packed and batteries all charged I found myself out the door and into wedding mode before i knew it! So that was Friday, Saturday was torrential, so I had a shoot reschedule and went jumping in puddles with my toddler instead! Sunday morning was a big day! Up at the crack of dawn (and by that I mean the usual time these days! 😅) and off I headed to Moel Famau in the Clwydian Range, to work with the wonderful Katy of @mymountainsandme and her gorgeous family. We spent a cracking morning creating a family adventure film with a few photos thrown in for good measure. The drone was out, the sun shone and I somehow managed to climb Moel Famau mainly backwards and occasionally sideways while trying not to miss a moment! Then it was off to Chester Zoo this morning, dodging showers and photographing a local family who were celebrating a whole host of birthdays with their extended family who are over all the way from New Zealand. The shower dodging was going so well until the very end… As I was heading back to the car I couldn’t help but stop to capture this magical moment of the elephant having a shower. Before I knew it the heavens had opened and I was every bit as wet as the elephant! 😂 How has your bank holiday been?! 💒 ☔️ ⛰️ 🐘 📸 #familyphotographer #filmmaker #lifeofaphotographer
The Fryer Family Film // Summer 2026 ☀️ 🐴 🍰 Summ The Fryer Family Film // Summer 2026 ☀️ 🐴 🍰 Summer evenings were made for ponies, picnics and precious family time! 💗 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 a few weeks back. 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 the very end of the Summer or Autumn 🍁 Ciara x __________________________________ ciara@doonerush.co.uk 07857823296 #horsephotoshoot #familyfilm #familyphotographerandfilmmaker
Happy World Photography Day! 🌍 Not my usual 'bes Happy World Photography Day! 🌍 Not my usual 'best of' post but a slightly unglamorous behind the scenes shot of a shoot last week! 😆 I don't usually have a toddler in tow on sessions but here we are! A well planned nap didn't go quite to plan and before I knew it I was ambushed as I was taking the last shots of this session! My working life looks very different to a few years ago and the juggle is real but I wouldn't change it for the world! Here’s to all the photographers, creating precious memories, telling important stories and inspiring change in the world. 🌍 Ciara x __________________________________ ciara@doonerush.co.uk 07857823296 #familyphotoshoot #beachphotoshoot #behindthescenes #worldphotographyday

Hello, hello! Remember me? I've had my head down, Hello, hello! Remember me? I've had my head down, working on some gorgeous sessions, editing, printing, getting both pony & baby cuddles on shoots and completely failing to post any of it on here! 🙈 Life is a juggle at the moment for sure and keeping on top of my social media is lower down my list than it use to be! However, here are a few of my favourites from a gorgeous shoot I did with Isabel Rose & Taffy at the start of the month. 🩷 I have a handful of dates left for sessions this Summer and my diary is open for the Autumn too. Please get in touch with any questions or to book your date. ☀️ 🍁 Available dates: Cork 🇮🇪 13th or 14th of August (1 slot only) UK 🇬🇧 From the 19th of August onwards Ciara __________________________________ ciara@doonerush.co.uk 07857823296 #horsephotographer #familyphotoshoots #summerphotoshoot
