It’s a wedding content kinda week and we need this level joy.

I just feel like sometimes I feel like just all the feelings and they are waves and I’m in the ocean of feelings and today it’s joyous minus the rugby - just everyday as an #enneagram4 🤷🏼‍♀️💃📸

Reflecting on a Mother’s love today.

I think I was probably a turd to my Mum growing up, I mean I know I was! And now I’m a Mum, and I think I’m blowing it most days but maybe it’s not as bad as I think?

Moments like this frame are laced with hope for me because it’s like looking through a window I haven’t reached yet. But it’s not out of reach it’s just I’m not there ya know?

Grateful for these moments where you see a Mother’s strength and vulnerability🫰🏼

It’s getting warmer and we get braver. Braver-er… more brave?

Kinda feel like this guy set the precedent for the type of clients I want to attract in 2024.

Humble, fun, kind, generous, excellent choice of partner (comment so I can tag you!) - and inspiring. Trusted me with direction but didn’t sacrifice his vision.

Meet Junior 🫰🏼

Beau continued ✨

I had to put aside the fear and embarrassment that comes with being 40 and not knowing studio basics. Butterfly lighting, shooting tethered, backdrop lighting etc. Who sold us the lie that growth only happens when you’re young? I know I know, relative 🤣 Anyway, I’m still learning and I enjoyed playing in studio with the dream team! Love you guys.

Beau ✨

Pushing myself this year with more studio shooting. And introducing Beau! Never modeled before and kindly agreed to give it a try. What a stunner right?! Such great make up design by the lovely and talented Michaela and of course styling by Sheshe could not have been more on. And loved working with Alina for the first time! Love you guys.

📸 Ending 2025 with some summer fun you know on that one day we had summer 🫠

Again loving the vibrant colours of the Helios and the hazy red artifacts 50% of us love (is it giving ST?) and the other half despise but I feel nostalgic and it’s nice isn’t it? I think so.

Also a fully manual lens so hard to nail focus in the water but it all adds 👌

Happy New Year 🥳

Stages of awesomeness in small child 🙌 Loved this in-home session. Not my norm and yet becoming so? I’ve noticed kids especially are so much themselves in their own space. Thank you @sarah_5024 for having me and for allowing me to share some snaps. More to come x 🖤 by @nikkiparlane

Jenny Mitchell 😮‍💨

You know when you meet someone and you start bargaining with God like ‘if you let her talent be contagious I’ll give you my cat’ (don’t worry I don’t have a cat) ((also I’m not delulu I know her voice stays with her)) but it’s ok to get a little ‘little mermaid’ now and again isn’t it?

@jennymitchellmusic sings like a boss and we had the best time at the beach snapping pix. And now you’re taking on Nashville 💃

Good luck getting this banger out of your noggin!
