I often get messages from horse owners who write to me saying that they would love to book a shoot but don't believe that the pictures will turn out beautifully.<\/p>\n

The reason? Your horse is older.<\/p>\n

Perhaps it has a lot of grey hair or its coat is tousled and dull - for example due to cushing syndrome. Perhaps the muscles are no longer as harmonious as they used to be. The body is changing, yes.<\/p>\n

But that is precisely why now<\/strong> the right time to capture precious memories.<\/p>\n

Especially in this phase of life, horses carry a special dignity. Something very deep and touching.<\/p>\n

Some may only see an \"imperfect\" appearance.
I see a wise soul<\/strong> with infinite expression.<\/p>\n

Others see an old horse that perhaps no longer shines like the young horse in the neighbouring pasture.
I see a horse that has been faithfully at your side all its life, that has gone through ups and downs with you - a horse of the heart that has made it to the top. more than deserved<\/strong>to be seen and celebrated.<\/p>\n

My unpopular opinion<\/em>? Older horses are just as photogenic<\/strong> - if not even more expressive<\/strong> - than young horses. I love photographing them. Their eyes tell stories. Their demeanour, so gentle and proud at the same time, touches my heart again and again.<\/p>\n

They deserve their beauty to be visible. They deserve to be in the spotlight - with all the traces that life has left behind.<\/strong><\/p>\n

As someone once wrote so beautifully:<\/p>\n

\n

\"All living beings that are viewed with love are beautiful.\"<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And imagine you have a picture in your hands that visualises all this love, all this bond between you and your horse.
An image that remains.<\/p>\n

Write me an email and we will make your photo shoot possible.<\/a><\/p>\n

The pictures of the beautiful \"Tashina\" go well with this. She is a little older, has Cushing's, but is no less expressive.<\/p>\n
