Get to know me....
I am a 24 year old, Gloucestershire based Equine, Pet, and Outdoor Sports Photographer and Videographer. It's pretty safe to say I'm obsessed with horses and dogs, with a menagerie of my own.
I take the pictures that I would like to have if my pets were the ones in the picture, whether that's portrait or action shots. I've always been quite fussy about how I would like a photo to look and think that's why I enjoy photography so much, it challenges me to think outside of the box.
Why I decided to pick up a camera...
My love for photography has grown from my passion for animals, and all things outdoors! I have always been an animal lover and am lucky enough to have horses and dogs in my life, unfortunately for them they are always my test subjects for any new concepts I have! I understand the bond owners have with their pets and it is such an honour to be able to capture that and create lifelong memories. I strive to capture the natural bond between animals and their loved ones, and showcase those authentic moments.
As an amateur event rider myself, I also thoroughly enjoy action photography and videography, whether that's competitions, training, or day-to-day happenings, I'd love to be there to capture this for you. I spend most of my time outdoors, the only time I'm inside is to edit! I am up for any challenge and would love to test out some new to me outdoor sports photography, so please do get in touch even if it isn't horse or dog related!

Fact 1
I have 10 horses of my own from foals to retired event horses! I'm afraid if you do book a shoot with me I will most likely tell you all about them.... sorry, not sorry! Oh and the same applies for my pack of dogs ;)

Fact 2
I'm not the biggest fan of being in-front of the camera myself, I much prefer taking the photos! So if you're a little nervous, or camera-shy don't worry I will take my time and reassure you throughout. My aim is to make sure you feel comfortable, relaxed and like yourself.

Fact 3
I am completely self-taught in photography, I picked up a camera for the first time at Badminton Horse Trials for a social media role I had, and I have been hooked ever since! Badminton was a cool event to start at but I'm pleased to say that unlike on that day I now understand camera settings...

Fact 4
As well as photography and videography, I am also a social media manager, so please do get in touch if you're interested in elevating your social media!

I have been extremely lucky to have worked with Charlotte on several projects. It first started as a work shoot for my business where I needed content for a website, socials and to be used in advertising. Everything was amazing start to finish. Communication was great, we went through what I needed, expectations and timelines. Charlotte arrived early, made everyone feel at ease and nothing forced. She was warm, approachable and remained professional throughout. I received images / reels sooner than expected and to say U was blown away would be an understatement. Since my first shoot with Charlotte, I have used her for personal shoots of my dog and horses. She always runs with my ideas and nails it each time, somehow managing to understand exactly what I wanted. I can't recommend her highly enough and look forward to many more future bookings.
