Confession time: I was completely star-struck.

One of my favourite moments from Adelaide Equestrian Festival was meeting Jess Sommerfield and the beautiful Finch Farm Carpentaria.

After spending the day photographing the 3* dressage and the 5* trot-up, I finally worked up the courage to go and introduce myself. As it turns out, Jess is every bit as lovely as everyone says she is, and Carpentaria was just as impressive in person (and more than a little adorable!).

What struck me just as much was the incredible team working with them. It was obvious how much support, care and hard work goes into producing a horse at this level, and it was wonderful to meet some of the inspiring people who are part of that journey.

Sometimes the best memories from an event aren’t the photos you take, but the people and horses you get to meet along the way.

A moment I’ll treasure for a very long time. ❤️

Thank you Jess for being so generous with your time and kindness, both at Adelaide and afterwards. Wishing you and your team the best of luck for MI3DE - wish I could be there but Rose and I will be cheering you on from Cairns.

A little bit of airtime and a whole lot of heart ✨

Disappointing not to see them compete, but such a privilege to capture these beautiful moments in Adelaide.

North Queensland Showjumping Club (NQSJC) Mother’s Day Showjumping galleries are officially complete! 📸

Thank you for the support, the kindness, and for trusting me to capture your weekends. I say it all the time, but every horse and rider matters, and I hope that comes through in these galleries.

I loved every minute of photographing this event, and I hope you love the images just as much!

Pretty cool seeing the course designer out there enjoying her own tracks too 😄

Thank you Deb and the North Queensland Showjumping Club (NQSJC) team for all the work, planning and effort that goes into making weekends like this happen for everyone.

Sunday’s photos are nearly finished now too — watch this space 👀📸

So grateful to Kellie for allowing me to include this image in my portfolio. What a horse, what a rider, and what a round!

📸 Galleries from this weekend with North Queensland Showjumping Club (NQSJC) are now starting to go live!

I’ll be uploading everything progressively over the next week or so, while I work through editing. My laptop is definitely showing its age and the upload/editing process is taking longer than I’d like, so rather than making everyone wait until everything is completely finished, I wanted to start getting photos out as soon as possible 😊

What a weekend though — so many lovely rounds, determined riders, beautiful horses, and such a supportive atmosphere all weekend long. Thank you all for making it such a fun event to photograph 🤍
