It was my birthday on Sunday, and my amazing husband Rob bought me the most amazing birthday present!

As a bird lover and a photographer, this is the perfect combination! A bird feeder with a built in camera! It also uses AI to identify the birds! Awesome or what!

I had no idea that I had such a variety of birds visiting each day. This camera is fantastic.

Now id like to know, what birds do you get in your gardens folks?

I'm interested to see what feathered friends are visiting your gardens.

Post below!

Happy Monday everyone!

What a fantastic weekend. I met up with future bride and groom Dan and Zena on Saturday at the fantastic Brookfield Farm wedding venue.

I didnt even know it existed, but its beautiful. A huge lake with woodland walks and a gorgeous venue with a stage, upstairs balcony and fantastic large dance floor.

I cant wait to photograph their wedding next year!

Ive had a total break from everything for the last 2 weeks as I am lucky enough to have 2 jobs but equally i felt i needed a break from everything work related.

These photos were taken at the fantastic Smallwood steam rally last weekend.

I try to set myself a theme when I go somewhere and this time I wanted wheels. I could say I had a 'wheely' good time - sorry 😄

Monday to Friday I work in a secondary school, then at weekends and in the holidays im a photographer, shooting everything from newborns to weddings, parties, events, headshots and more.

Im back from my break and ready to welcome even more wonderful people into my studio.

I have lots in the pipeline for new ideas so keep an eye on the page folks!

This feels a bit raw to share… but today felt like the right day.

Back in 2007, I was 6 stone heavier. I was labelled obese, and if I’m honest, I had absolutely no self-esteem. I hid from cameras, avoided photos, and never felt comfortable in my own skin.

Since then, I’ve lost the weight… but the way I see myself hasn’t quite caught up.

Some days I look in the mirror and feel okay. Other days, I see huge arms, wide hips, bigger thighs… and it completely takes over. Then I have to ground myself and think, “You’re wearing a size 12… this can’t be real.” But in that moment, it feels real. My eyes tell me something different, and it’s exhausting.

I calorie count constantly. I’ve tried every diet you can think of. And even now, I still feel this pressure to be smaller, lighter, skinnier… prettier.

Truthfully, I think I might struggle with body dysmorphia. That constant disconnect between what’s real and what I see.

But today is International No Diet Day.

So today, I’m giving myself permission to just… be.
To eat normally.
To quiet the noise in my head, even if it’s just for 24 hours.

And maybe that’s where it starts. Not perfection. Not “fixing” everything overnight. Just small moments of kindness towards myself.

Because the version of me back in 2007 deserved kindness.
And so does the version of me now 🤍

Wedding season is officially here, and we’ve loved every minute of meeting so many of you at recent fayres!

​At Helly Marie Photography, we don’t just attend your wedding; we document the soul of it. Our approach is a quiet, intentional presence, capturing the fleeting glances and 'blink-and-you’ll-miss-it' moments that happen while you’re busy celebrating.

​The day itself will fly by in a beautiful blur. When the dress is away and the evening fades into the night, we ensure your memories remain as vivid as the moment they were made.
