Thunderbird Show Park 2023

Thunderbird feels like a million years ago already, but it was by far the highlight of my summer! I started visiting TBIRD and capturing private clients in 2021, and it was truly a dream come true. My first year I had 3 clients, all of whom were friends of mine. Now I get to return every single year, with a full client list, and meet new faces every year. It will always be a pinch me moment to spend a week in such a beautiful moment, getting to do what I love. There are almost no words to describe the amazing venue of Thunderbird, the atmosphere, the horses, the arenas, the talent, the people, everything is just incredible! I truly could go on and on for hours. I was so thankful for Becky, Calli and Karlee for all entrusting me to capture their show experiences. Getting to be part of their teams for the day was such a joy and I adored cheering them all and watching them all experience such wonderful success! Not to mention all the pony cuddles I got from their wonderful mounts. While I could go on and on, I’d rather share with you some of my favourite images from the week. And yes, this is only a fraction of the images I delivered to these three wonderful ladies!

If these images inspire you more than the typical show images and you will be attending Western Family this year at Thunderbird Show Park, be sure to check out my private client coverage and book a spot!
