Welcome to Lauryn Samra Photography. 

I am an equine photographer based in the East Midlands - Nottinghamshire to be exact. I do consider myself a naturally creative person, and I will always try my best to achieve your vision, even if it means getting into some weird and wonderful angles and getting myself covered in mud - it's all part of the job at the end of the day. My aim is to help you feel comfortable and make sure you're having fun and that you get some beautiful photos at the end of it. And I'm happy to answer and questions or concerns you may have, even if they seem like the smallest silliest things. Whether you are someone that thrives in front of the camera or someone that hates posing, I promise you I'll make sure you have a good time. Besides, nobody is perfect, so no need to worry if your horse won't stand still for more than 30 seconds, or you don't think you have any nice backgrounds, or you don't know what to wear - we can make it work!

I first set up Lauryn Samra Photography as a hobby around 2017 when I got my first DSLR camera. Fast forward to now and I've decided to make a career out of it, travelling all around to some beautiful locations and meeting some amazing people and horses, many of which I have kept in touch with. Having a team of very talented sponsored riders has also meant I've been fortunate enough to attend some great events and try my hand at photographing a variety of different disciplines. 

I have been riding horses myself since I was a little girl, around 19 years ago (now that makes me feel much older than I am!). I finally bought my own pony in 2020 - a little 14.2hh New Forest called Mango (pictured below) that I had been riding for a good few years. He's got the quirkiest personality I have ever known a pony to have, and I just love it... except when he is dragging me through the mud or throwing me off round a show-jumping course, or just being an all around pain in the bum which is a lot of the time. But I wouldn't have him any other way!

If you think I may be the right photographer for you, please don't hesitate to get it touch! And please have a look at the pricing tab to see what is included in your shoot, and how to make the most of it.
