Why You Should Book a Relaxed Pony Photoshoot for Summer 2025

If you're looking for a memorable way to celebrate your child's love for ponies, now is the perfect time to book a pony photoshoot right here in beautiful Dorset. Whether you're after a magical unicorn experience, planning pony parties, or simply want to preserve that special bond between your child and their favourite horse, a relaxed photography session is a wonderful way to do it.

These aren’t just any old photoshoots. They’re gentle, child-led woodland photoshoots or yard-based sessions that feel more like a pony ride than a performance. I focus on real smiles, quiet cuddles, windswept hair, and the kind of trotthrough the paddock that only a true pony lover understands.

As a mum of three, I totally get that booking a session can feel like a lot. Here’s what you can expect — and why so many families choose this kind of pony photography over a studio shoot:

What If My Child Is Shy?

No problem at all. These sessions are relaxed and designed around your child. We’ll give them space to get comfortable with me, the camera, and of course their pony or unicorn friend. If they’d rather groom than ride, that’s perfect too. I work at their pace, letting the magic unfold naturally.

Where Do the Equine Photography Sessions Take Place?

I travel across Dorset, visiting stables, paddocks, and quiet fields where children feel most at home. I can also suggest lovely natural woodland locations or you can book a specific venue. Whether it’s a family home, or your own yard — we’ll find the perfect spot for your pony / equine photoshoot.

What’s Included in our Photoshoot?

Depending on the session you choose, you’ll get a relaxed outdoor experience, a handy welcome guide, styling tips, and access to your own online gallery of beautifully edited images. It’s ideal for birthday parties, milestone celebrations, or simply to remember the days where ponies were everything.

 Why Book a Pony Photoshoot?

Because these moments are easily forgotten — those early riding lessons, the way they brush their pony’s mane, the first time they were able to ride alone. This is more than just a session — it’s a piece of their childhood frozen in time. Children grow, and eventually they grow out of ponies too — but the love, the memories, and those little in-between moments don’t have to be forgotten. A relaxed pony session is your chance to hold onto them just a little longer.

So if you’ve been thinking about booking a session but keep putting it off, consider this your gentle nudge. Pop me a message any time to chat through how it all works — I’m always happy to answer questions and help you find the right session for your child and their four-legged best friend.
