~ THEA & ACRISTA 🤍

To honour this old darling doggo, Thea.
We done a creative session for her and her Mum, Acrista.

Because of her beautiful coat, it was only fitting to do a Christmassy/snow inspired session for her.

(When I re launch in 2026 these are some of the types of creative sessions ill be offering)

I remember doing her photos when she was only a pup! Now she’s 13 - it was a beautiful sentiment to be able to capture her photos again! 💙

~ As I ease back into Sessions, This afternoon I had the immense pleasure of capturing a very special girls FIRST Year milestone with a cake smash and splash 🎂💞 🫧

Introducing Little Vee!

Isn't she just beautiful! 🥹

To add the cherry on top - It really makes it that little bit extra special, because I done her big brothers first birthday cake smash too, about 9 years ago! 🥰

• SOFT RE LAUNCH 🌻

After a little time away to reset and refocus, Critchley Images is officially making a comeback ✨

This is my Soft ReLaunch, with a full comeback in January Next year - 2026 is full of BIG things coming!

Once known as The Wild and Nostalgic, I’ve found my way back to where it all began — this time, a little slower for me, a whole new creative spark, a new editing style I’ve been working on for a while now behind the scenes - but with the same love, and purpose.

Photography is still my passion, but now it’s about creating with purpose — offering very limited creative sessions and Lifestyle / doco-style storytelling that keep that spark alive.

Available for a few sessions per month - time to also spend with my family, and to allow for a more evened out home life.

Keep an eye out for new projects, casting calls, and little glimpses of nostalgia along the way as I recreate a new portfolio with my new style and what to expect for 2026. 📸

* Yep I made a typo, meant to be January 😂

CRYSTAL & GLEN BOWRA - 14.06.25

Crystal and Glen celebrated 12 years of marriage on Saturday, with their nearest and dearest and surrounded by wildlife too! With a Vow Renewal, to re confirm their promises, their love and commitment with one another 🖤

They held their ceremony at Hazel Lane Events with the amazing Celebrant Cindy!

Instead of rings, they exchanged beautiful gold watches to represent the time they've spent together and the time to come together for the future years - such a beautiful sentiment and so meaningful 🥹

They even had surprise witnesses 😍

Crystal had her original bouquet from the first time they exchanged vows, made from stunning blue and white buttons & brooches. everything about yesterday was perfect, and perfectly them 💙🤍
