HEATWAVE ☀️

My little wild-hearted one.

Captured in the garden during the heatwave (though I think the whole summer might have actually been a heatwave this year), taking a well-earned break from a very hot trampolining session.

Lately I’ve felt their childhood slipping through my fingers a little too quickly. So I’m making a point of picking up my camera more - not just for clients - & collecting the little things, the everyday magic, the moments, their stories that I know one day I’ll long to remember.
I feel a bit nostalgic even as I’m taking the picture. That’s how fast they’re growing! 🥹

Hope you had a magical summer. ✨

MOON CHILD 🌙

This one has always loved the moon. We even have our own little song about it 🫶 ‘Where are you, moon?’ 🌙 (Maybe we’ll sing it for you sometime 😅).

And so… just like that, the kids are back at school / starting new schools, getting into the rhythm of early mornings again, soaking up new skills & everyone’s finding their flow after a drifty summer.

Noah has just started big school, which is just crazy. Leo’s moved into Year 10 (his brain will no doubt start to hurt soon 😅) & our little lady is in Year 2 already. I feel like I was taking her for her first day at preschool yesterday… and equally, I feel like the boys were walking into her school with their big back packs slung over their shoulders five minutes ago!

September always makes me a bit nostalgic — the last of the long grass and warm summer light, a new season beginning, and that familiar feeling that childhood is moving far too quickly.

Maybe that’s why I’ve always loved to photograph the little things. The things I know I’ll want to remember.

Wishing you a happy September. Hope you find your flow. ✨

So, so sad, the heavens have gained a sparkling angel. 💔

Some people just have a light about them, even through a radio, or a TV screen… ✨
What an amazing talent, singer, songwriter, storyteller, actress, philanthropist, wise & witty beautiful soul & kind human.
I’ve been listening to my favourite Dolly tracks all afternoon, she was incredible.
My heart goes out to her family & friends.
Dolly we will always love you! 🤍🦋🪽💫

‘To love & be loved is to feel the sun on both sides.’
David Viscott

Feeling grateful for all of it today…
The sun ☀️ the moon 🌙 the stars ✨ the eclipse, nature, & most of all love… & all the little things 🫶

I’ve spent the afternoon photographing the most beautiful couple, surrounded by their favourites while renewing their wedding vows… on what must be the hottest day of the year in the gorgeous Bedfordshire countryside (the heat now giving off Texas vibes). ☀️
Such a beautiful afternoon 🫶
To love & be loved is something so, so special… I hope if we’re lucky enough to experience this kind of love, we never take it for granted…✨

Have a wonderful rest of your week xx

P.S Can’t remember when I last posted something on the same day I took it! Perhaps it’s the way forward!! xx

How are we flying through the summer holidays so fast?

In between photography work, & running a couple of beautiful events (& attending some lovely ones too), enjoying some lovely family time & embarking on a little camping adventure, packing, unpacking; sorting school uniforms, celebrations & entertaining the kiddos (well, the smallest one) & running around after the bigger ones… The summer seems to be slipping through my fingers… but there’s still time to take a breath.
And besides juggling a little work this morning, I’m casting aside my to do list & setting aside this weekend to press pause, and just slow down.
Hope you’re having a chance to enjoy some down time this summer whatever you’re up to ☀️ xx

Stay cool today. 😎

As much as I’m a summer girl, after having the fan on all night it’s actually been pretty lovely waking up to a slightly cooler day. ☀️🍃

Throwing it back to this portrait of the beautiful Ella, shot for a shoot for Professional Photo magazine. I had the chance to swap my usual camera gear for a gorgeous Leica for the day... which I think I may have fallen slightly in love with, safe to say I was a little reluctant to hand it back afterwards. ☺️ xx

Happy Sunday ☀️
