Blinked…missed it lol October that is, nothing else!!
Thrilled to share here a few snippets from client work this month!!
Friday Night Confessionals.......food glorious food.....
GUEST CHEF NIGHT AT THE GREYFRIARS, CHAWTON
When Tequila is involved, what’s not to love!!!
Tuesday’s are turning out to be pretty awesome, especially when I get to photograph the PREP + the MAIN event!!! Guest Chef nights at The Greyfriars sell out month’s in advance and this last one was such a buzz as Chef Alex shared Mexican goodness!!!
This is just a snippet + the flavours and colours were insane!! Alex has a food truck coming to Hampshire and beyond VERY soon!! SO EXCITING!!
Have a great weekend everyone x
Sunday morning confessionals + early morning pondering…
So lockdown eases on Wednesday, I’ve been awake since 4am , I’ve sipped a couple of cups of green tea and before I potentially return to snoozing I wanted to share a couple of images from the last week.
I’m still walking but unfortunately not as frequently as LD1.0 - this week however I managed to capture a stunning sunset or two and being back in nature really flexed a muscle and fired off all the good vibes, it’s such a tonic. The second half of this lockdown has felt at times like walking thru treacle whilst coated in marshmallow + reminding myself that it’s ok to take a breath and just breathe, whilst sounding so simple, has proved rather more trickier for some reason (I’m not searching for the answers to my resistance- I’m still trying to breathe lol) but positives and silver linings abound.
chatting to friends overseas via FaceTime/ FB video - SUCH a joy
fresh air - ALWAYS
meeting new businesses opening up on the high street in my town - exciting!
photographing Christmas for Alitex - a super cosy, divine photo shoot which included coffee + mince pies - what’s not to love!
Have a lovely week everyone! x
Friday Afternoon Confessionals.......
I still have the best job in the world....
When you get to work, ok I lie, when you get to spend the afternoon in a super stunning setting, basically falling in love with it AND then you get to create what you love to do, your heart sings + you feel full of positive vibes…that. Embrace that, smile, breathe it all in and then get to work….
Flowers √
Fresh Air √
Soft Light √
Amazing Client √√
Cute Model √
Texture √
Amazing Details √
ummm… my list is actually pretty endless lol
Textures, subtle colour, intricate details…..beautiful light. It is always amazing to observe a space as the light changes and witness how it’s look and feel changes too, the images below are a great example of this, strong shadows, bright light..
A certain ‘drama’ is added when shadows get involved, whether softer or a little starker.
Have an AMAZING weekend everyone!!! xx
and ACTION.....
HAIR OTT, COSHAM
Today’s super fun shoot was at the awesome + amazing HAIR OTT. Capturing their staff and clients in action - I also got snapped, behind the scenes!! :-)

Wedding Photography
Congratulations if you just got engaged over Christmas or have started the New Year with all systems go to organise your BIG Day!
I wanted to share this pricing visual if you're on the hunt for a photographer and you're finding your feet with what to budget for with the different services and professionals that combine to create your wedding day + if you have any questions just shout! x
It's Important to print pictures......discuss....
My NEW Print Boxes are here + I'm TOTALLY Biased BUT I'm a A LOT A LOT in LOVE with them!!
Just Kidding, there's no discussion! PRINTING PICTURES is important + here's why
1. It makes you Happy
2. You can share them with friends & family
3. You can pop them up at work, at home, heck the garden shed and car if you felt the urge
4. The feeling - THE FEELING of holding a picture in your hand is like no other, it's exciting!
5. You get to gush out loud/ in public/ to yourself when holding something this precious
6. Matt, Glossy, Lustre - the choice is wide but my favourite is MATT
THE END
I'm in love with these boxes and the smiles they're bringing to my clients faces and just the tangible element to them is so divine like you're treating yourself to a little gift...
VIVA LE print box revolution! ** All family and bump session now include this option!**
look look!!!!! a photo of me!!! :-) lol

A beautiful morning in the Bluebell Woods
One - 2 - One Photo Workshop
Have I mentioned HOW much I LOVE working outside?? Wearing a pair of wellies and exploring?? Well, it makes my heart sing when I get the chance to teach outside, especially first thing in the morning, with beautiful soft light, with students who have a passion for wild flowers :-) The images above are ones I captured whilst my student set about her photo challenges x
