It’s been a hot minute since I’ve properly dusted off the camera… and apparently I decided to do that VERY literally.

This weekend I had the pleasure of being asked to photograph the Calliope Gold Goblet Campdraft and honestly, what a way to get back behind the lens!

So many incredible riders, beautiful horses and some seriously impressive runs to capture. By the end of the day I looked like I’d been personally dragged through the campdraft arena with the amount of dust covering me 🤣…..but it was 100% worth it to capture these memories for everyone competing.

A massive thank you to the committee for having me and to everyone who stopped for a chat, gave me a wave or supported me over the weekend.

I’ve got A LOT of photos to work through now 👀
This weekend gallery will be live in approximately one week, with images available to purchase.

So keep an eye on the page for the link.

In the meantime I’ll be sharing a few favourites along the way! 🐴✨
