JHD Photography

30/08/2026

Earlier in the month we went away to Cornwall for 5 days on a mini break - I decided that I wanted to get my son a little camera to use 📷

One that doesn't have a screen, so he can take a photo and get back to fully living the moment rather than reviewing a screen and being distracted.

Then also learning the art form of patience before being able to see the images - Like the 'good old days' where you had to wait for your prints to arrive via the post 😄 This camera does have a mini USB, but we still waited before we were home to view them and Alfie loved sitting with us looking at what he'd snapped ❤️📷

We live in an age where everything feels like it's available instantly, we live through screens and moments can feel disconnected. I am making a far more conscious effort to stop, breathe and reconnect. I'd definitely recommend an old school camera like this for it - The image quality might not be the best, but the reconnection are priceless 🥹❤️📷

✨ Sneak Peek Time ✨

I can't believe this is the last shoot I shall be capturing of these guys as JHD - I cannot begin to explain what this awesome trio means to me 🥹

Shelley has been one of JHDs biggest supporters since I started the business - She spotted one of my posts on Facebook and I have been capturing them yearly as a family for over a decade.

We have laughed together, cried together, I've watched her children grow up and I'm so proud to call her one of my closest friends now ❤️✨

What a privilege it has been - Not only does Shelley have the memories of her family, I have the memories of the love, support and laughter they have all given to me 🥹📷

✨We celebrated our official wedding anniversary in May and then our party anniversary earlier this month - A great way to get two celebrations, I'd definitely recommend it 😜🤣✨

It really got me thinking about just how truly important your photos are. After the day has passed and you're back to reality, the first thing we all reach for are the photo memories - just to help remind us how truly incredible it was and help us relive it all 🥹❤️✨📷

A huge thank you to my beautiful friend Photography by Michelle Jane for capturing these precious memories for us 🥹📷

I don't know where to start on how to thank these beautiful souls ✨

Lucy and Tom have supported JHD for so many years by allowing me to photograph at their incredible farm - Overstone Grange Farm 🌻🎃🌾

I have so many incredible personal memories from being at the farm and I know so many of my clients have them too 🥹

If you haven't paid a visit to Overstone Grange Farm, please make sure you make time to go to one of their events - You wont be disappointed and you'll be supporting an incredible small business and their gorgeous family 🥹✨

Lucy and Tom, I cannot thank you enough for all the support you have shown me over the years - It truly means the world and I will be forever grateful. Oh, don't worry, I will still be paying you visits (you won't get rid of me yet 😉).

💜 Learning to love yourself again 💜

Life is a journey of twists, turns and redirections. Our bodies face all sorts of challenges along the way and sometimes it's easy to judge all the flaws we perceive on the outside and quickly want them 'fixing'.

For me, taking these self portraits was about enabling myself to embrace capturing them and then being able to look at the photos with love and positivity around what I see.

✨ A woman whose body has curves but has safely grown two beautiful children.
✨ A strong woman who has faced many challenges yet still tries to bring light.
✨A woman whose beautiful hazel eyes always tell how she's feeling - they hide nothing.
✨ A woman whose grey hairs sparkle in any form of light.

Us ladies face all sorts of changes with our bodies - It's so important to me that I give myself kindness and thanks for the woman I am and who I see in the mirror today 💜

✨ Take a breath, look in the mirror tonight and tell yourself something you LOVE reflecting back at you - Empowerment starts with you 🥹🤗

💜 Sneak Peek Time 💜

Next up is this gorgeous family who I'd not seen for a few years and it was so amazing to see them again with their newest addition 🥰

I feel like I have blinked and missed the last few years!

Giggles, smiles, hugs and lots of chatting in the lavender - What more could you want on a beautiful summer evening?

Amazing to see you guys again 💜📷✨

💜 Sneak Peeks 💜

It was so incredibly wonderful to these guys on Saturday. I've watched the children growing up over the years and couldn't believe that one of them is nearly as tall as me 🥹

Gosh it's been a privilege and I really will miss seeing them but I'm so extremely lucky I call Louise a friend, so I'll make sure we meet up when we can ✨

Louise, you are such an incredibly beautiful human, inside and out - Always remember that. And what an utterly gorgeous family you have too 😘

Enjoy your sneak peeks 📷✨💜

Session at the beautiful Cambridgeshire Lavender 🪻💜

💜 I had my final JHD visit to Cambridgeshire Lavender on Saturday PM and it was so extremely special to me.

I haven't shared anything yet as I was so fully immersed in the evening. From seeing very special clients, taking time myself to stop and breathe mindfully and sitting chatting with Danielle whilst watching two deer grazing in the fields - It was just perfect on every level 🥹💜✨

If you haven't been to one of the workshops at Cambridgeshire Lavender, then please do take time to go, you won't be disappointed and you'll be supporting a small business run by the most beautiful lady with the kindest soul 💜✨

Danielle, thank you so much for letting me be part of your journey and welcoming me with open arms into your beautiful space. I'll miss my yearly JHD visits but very much looking forward to having time to come to some of the workshops ✨💜
