Family photoshoot with horses and dogs | Sydney


This family photoshoot was such a joy to capture. A loving mum and her two daughters invited me to photograph their life with their two beautiful horses and playful dogs. Having plenty of time together meant we could create a mix of fun, natural moments and gentle portraits with all of them. As a Sydney-based family photographer, I absolutely love when sessions include pets — horses, dogs, or both — because they bring so much personality and heart into the photos and sometimes it is about them like in this photoshoot.

They had plenty of time to change outfits, and even pause for little breaks in between, which made the whole family photoshoot in Western Sydney feel relaxed and stress-free. Their two horses and two dogs were the real stars of the day — we created a mix of photos with the girls and their animals, as well as some sweet sister portraits. The variety gave them a beautiful gallery full of both playful and timeless memories to treasure.

To make it even more special, we also captured a few equine photoshoot shots with their competition horse. The girls wore a beautiful blue dress for these moments, creating elegant and timeless portraits that truly highlight the bond between rider and horse.
