Despite what my lack of posting might suggest, 2025 has been so wonderfully busy! ✨

Mixing up the professional and personal highlights to celebrate that I spent my 10 year @slamdunkmusic anniversary back on their outrageously talented media team doing my dream job! Shared the photo pit with some icons! Got shortlisted for @the_epas and brought my besties! Turned 30 and organised a full on mate’s fest! Went to more gigs for fun! Spent some time in the studio! (Very excited to share more on that next year!!!) Had the honour of photographing several of my close friends’ weddings! Travelled to Malaysia to be bridesmaid for 2 more of my incredible friends! (Okay that one’s not photography related but it was magical and I miss being that warm with my entire being)

The later half of the year was devoted to editing many beautiful weddings I’ve assisted on with @lukesantilliphotography , hosting my family visiting from Australia and becoming completely obsessed with my cousin’s new addition to the family 🥹💕

Thank you so so much to everyone I’ve worked with this year and welcomed me onto their team. It means the world and I’m so excited to be back for much more of this next year 📸🖤

Today is a great day because my very good friend Conor just released his debut single ‘Same Time, Same Place’ and you should all go and listen to it 🌞

I love this song. I love this team. I’m so excited for what’s to come 💐

it is with great pleasure, immense joy, and boundless pride, that I can announce my debut EP “Hello, Sunshine” will be released everywhere on friday the 23rd of october, 2026.

I had an idea a while ago to make a soundtrack for the 5 stages of grief. each song on this record represents one of these stages and speaks about the experience, from either my own perspective or someone else’s.
once these songs began to take shape, we were floating ideas about how to present these ideas visually; eventually we had the idea of one more meal with someone we have loved and lost. what would you talk about? what would you bring to the table? over time, we shot one by one, individual items we would bring to the table, to culminate in our own last supper (of sorts).

a popular interview question people get is, “who would you to choose to have a meal with, dead or alive?”, and this is something we thought about a lot when making this record and deciding on the visual output. you could have that meal with anyone. it doesn’t have to be someone famous.

it has been the experience of my life starting this project and I cannot wait to continue.
you can pre-save “Hello, Sunshine” to your streaming library following the link in my bio. bandcamp pre-order will be available tomorrow.

thank you for being here with me and I’ll chat to you very soon 🌞

Had the best time catching up with @therealtdh in London last night 👾

I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing these guys perform since me and my friends toured with them three years ago and I can’t describe how fun it was to be back.

Wonderful people!! Incredible show!!

Hayley Williams - London N1 🤍

The 19th of June was my birthday. It was also the day after we found out that my best friend of 15 years wouldn’t be waking up following a sudden, unexpected seizure and excruciating week in the ICU.

While I was hitting Bella Swan levels of disassociation and couldn’t enjoy this show in the way I’d been hoping, I really wanted to shine a light on this beautiful, kind and incredibly creative creative community. Paramore has been a huge part of my life since 2008 and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to finally meet/reconnect with these wonderful people (Third Voyage Parahoy pals, slide 10 is how I feel about u) 💕

If any concert could’ve helped me through grief in all its forms, it’s the EDAABP tour. I think we sang, danced and cried through every emotion under the sun in there and I left (miraculously) feeling slightly lighter for it.

Live music is magic in that and I don’t know where I’d be without it.

Also don’t know where I’d be without @devplacephotos @emilyjadephotos & @georgiapennyphoto - You’re just the best I’ll be forever grateful to you girls for carrying me through this night 🩵

Anyway, sorry for being emo and thanks if you’ve read this far. Hug your loved ones extra! by @samstruttphoto

LONG LIVE THE BLACK PARADE TOUR - LONDON 2026

The best to ever do it and the best they’ve ever been!

I know I’m not unique for saying that @mychemicalromance got me through the hardest times as a teenager. But for them to be back and doing it again in my 30s is pretty magic.

And with 90,000 people in this place, odds are that I’m not alone in that either 🖤

Couldn’t resist bringing my little pocket camera along to London nights two and three. Hopefully next time I’ll be lucky enough to bring my real kit along, but for now, capturing these moments, reconnecting with so many beautiful friends and singing my big emo heart out was enough.
