Hey, I'm Martha Lily.
I’m an equine photographer based in Shropshire, capturing the quiet connection between horses and the people who love them.
When I’m not creating, you’ll usually find me with my own horses, which is exactly where this all began.
The muddy mornings, the hay in your hair, the satisfaction of a freshly mucked-out stable… I know those moments because I live them too.
I understand all those years of trodding through mud, washing hay out of your hair and the quiet pride of a freshly made stable bed. Not forgetting the love of the horses, the real reason we do it all.
My mission has always been to capture those truly special moments we share with the horses who hold our hearts so dearly. I take great pride in creating images that allow you to hold onto those memories forever.
Because one day, these everyday moments become the ones we wish we could step back into.
It’s my way of helping you repay the favour,
another way to enjoy your gorgeous horses for years to come.
And I can’t wait to meet you.
THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS
Did you also sing that in your head, 'cause I did when I wrote it haha.
- CREATING, it lights me up in every way
- My girls, all of my animals, 4 horses, 2 sheep, 2 bunnies & a cat. All girls and I love them endlessly. They never fail to make me smile & I'm always going in for a little floofy squeeze.
- My oldest pony was actually my first, she is SO sick of me. Bless her she's been with my from when I started my business so has been the model for many a thing. She is still my hardest model to date! (no ears forward thanks Kittles)
- TEA. I love it. Possibly a bit too much. Strong, splash of milk, one big sugar. I drink a concerning amount of it each day and a proper mug always beats a travel cup.
- My standard order is either a cheese burger or pasta, carby heaven.
THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW
- Cliche but I've literally always had a camera in my hand, mum has footage of me! Some things are really meant to be huh?
- I'm allergic to anything fluffy. Yep horses included. Thank goodness for hayfever tablets. It's worth it.
- I love driving, podcasts, audiobook or music on and I’m happy.
- I adore a little shepherds hut Airbnb with a hot tub.
- I'm an open book & wear my heart on my sleeve & an over sharer
- I'm a total dressing in things that make your heart sing girl
Because one day, these everyday moments
become the ones we wish we could step back into.
My favourite clients are the ones who love their horses a little too much and aren’t afraid to admit it.
Testimonials
It’s not uncommon for shoot enquiries to start with someone saying
“my horse won’t stand still”…
and somehow we always make magic anyway.
