Sydney Family Photoshoot with a Horse


This little boy has loved animals from the very beginning, and his biggest fascination is with horses. For his 1st birthday, his mum wanted something truly special – a family photoshoot with a horse in the Hills District. She didn’t own a horse, but that’s the beauty of booking a Hills District photographer who specialises in creating unique sessions – you don’t need to own a horse to enjoy the magic of including one in your photoshoot. That’s how they found me and the gentle, kind Gigs – a beautiful horse who spends his retirement days relaxing in the paddock. Gigs adores these sessions, as he gets pampered with a bath, endless pats, carrots, and plenty of treats, making the whole family photoshoot with a horse an experience filled with joy and connection.

This family photoshoot in Hills District with a horse proves you don’t need to own one to capture stunning memories.



We only spent a short time together, but every moment was filled with joy as this little boy experienced the closeness of a horse during his family photoshoot with a horse in Sydney. It was such a special experience for him and his family – proving once again that you don’t need to own a horse to create magical memories with one. While we weren’t lucky enough to have golden sunset light, the weather held up beautifully, and having no rain was already a win. This Sydney family photoshoot with a horse captured the bond between a child who adores animals and the gentle presence of Gigs, making the session both unique and unforgettable near Gables in the Hills District.
