This sat in my notes app for a few months. It’s grown as the years evolved & I felt brave enough to share it.

I’ve fallen off the band wagon with socials for the (imo) very forgiveable reason that I’ve been out doing the job for the very reason I have this page to promote🫠

I’m no @millygoldsmith though inspired by. I’ve always craved deep conversations & honesty.

I know for sure I won’t be alone in some of these feelings and hope that at least one tiny part resonates with you.

I hope you’re doing ok, lots of love.

The biggest pleasure running my second ever horses in motion course.

Working on getting comfortable with photographing at pace, angles & those magic shots.

Good news, I’m running another this year.

Monday was @adcoteschool where loads of lovely girls came to learn about creativity as a career. I chat about self belief, self employment & all that goes with it! ❤️🖤

Thanks for having me and such great questions & feedback, I’m so glad they’re resonating.

I’m also available for 1:1s

Tradestand 2025: Cosy. Full. A little chaotic yet award winning.
2026: Calm. Elevated. Intentional and one I’m really proud of.

Different energy. Same heart behind it.

Thanks to everyone who stopped by, I appreciate you so much! 🤍

On Sunday, a group of college students are running their own show.

I went in to talk to them about building something from nothing. About taking a risk. About putting yourself out there even when it feels terrifying.

Right now, they have one entry.

And I know how brave that feels.

If you’ve ever cheered me on, supported a small business, or believed in young people trying to make something happen… this is one of those moments.

Enter the show.
Bring a friend.
Share it.

Let’s show them what community actually looks like.

Because every big event once had a first entry. 🤍

Update
Unfortunately the students have had to cancel Sunday’s show due to low entries.

I’m genuinely proud of them for attempting something new, that takes courage.

Sometimes events don’t get the numbers, but the experience of planning it is still invaluable.

The year of the Snake stretched us.
The year of the Horse will carry us. (Well hopefully and not buck us off!) 🐎💨

Honestly, 2025 wow, that was a lot.
Things are turning around for me, and honestly never been better, so I hope for you too.

Let’s make new memories, new art, with new energy & fresh purpose.
Looking forwards.

Happy Tuesday, suns out. I’m off riding this morning.

Last night was another talk. Absolutely loving doing these.
(Obvs questioning my life choices beforehand 🙈)

Last night’s group was small but SO engaged and it made me so happy. So many amazing questions.

My talks aren’t pigeon holed into just equine photography, or even photography for that matter.

All about all it takes to be self employed and then some. 🤛 ✨
