SCHOOL STARTS TOMORROW. 🎉😂

And just like that, six weeks of hearing:
“Mum, I’m hungry.”
“Mum, there’s nothing to eat.”
“Mum, what are we doing today?”
“Mum, where’s my charger?”
…approximately 47 times before lunchtime is coming to an end. 😂
No more teenagers dragging themselves through the house like the ghost of Notre Dame, opening every cupboard and eating everything they encounter on the way.
Tomorrow there will be silence.
No mysterious plates appearing in bedrooms.
No fridge door opening every seven minutes.
No one wandering into the kitchen at 11am looking half-dead and asking what’s for breakfast.
Just me.And the dog.
And a suspicious amount of peace and quiet. 😂🥂
But I know there are two VERY different types of parents tonight…
🥂 TEAM ONE: Uniform ready. Alarm set. Champagne already chilling. Godspeed, teachers. They’re yours now.
😭 TEAM TWO: Looking at their little school shoes by the door and wondering how the hell the summer went so quickly because the house is going to feel horribly empty tomorrow.
So which one are you?
🥂 POPPING THE CHAMPAGNE
or
😭 SHEDDING A TEAR

No judgement here.😉

🍂 AUTUMN MINI SESSIONS ARE COMING…
This autumn I’ve decided to open a very limited number of mini sessions — just 4.
The colours are ridiculous. The light is soft and beautiful.
So for a very short window, I’m offering four shorter outdoor sessions in the Huntingdon area, created especially for families who would love some gorgeous updated photographs but don’t necessarily need a full session.
Come with the children.�Come with your partner.�Bring the dog.�Bring everyone if you fancy it.
And please don't worry if your children aren't the sort who stand beautifully in one place and smile politely on command.
I’ll guide you through the session, help you with styling beforehand and create a mixture of those gorgeous looking-at-the-camera portraits and the less-perfect, more spontaneous moments that happen in between.
And because choosing only a handful of photographs from a gallery can be a special form of torture, there will also be an optional full-gallery upgrade at a special price for these four sessions.
If you'd like to see exactly what’s included, the price and how the sessions work, comment:
🍂 Autumn 🍂
and all the information will be sent to you automatically by private message.
Have a look. Think about it.
But there really are only four places available for this autumn mini-session release.
Comment Autumn below and I’ll send you everything. 🍂📸

GCSE results day. 😬📖

A day involving approximately 7% excitement and 93% refreshing websites, staring at numbers and pretending nobody is nervous.
To everyone getting their results today — I hope you got exactly what you were hoping for. Or, even better, opened that envelope and thought ****, I actually did better than I expected.

And if one number wasn’t quite what you’d hoped for? It doesn’t get to decide the rest of your life.
Today is one page. Not the whole book.

Good luck with whatever comes next — sixth form, college, an apprenticeship, work, or a completely different plan nobody saw coming.

Here’s to the next chapter. Go make it a good one. ❤️

Your newborn doesn’t need to “behave” for their photoshoot.
I hear this all the time.
“What if she cries?” “What if he doesn’t sleep?” “What if she needs feeding constantly?” “What if he wees on you?”
Well.He’s a newborn. 😂
I’m not expecting him to arrive at my studio at 10.30, shake my hand and cooperate with the schedule.
We stop for feeds.We change nappies.We settle.We cuddle.
Sometimes babies sleep beautifully. Sometimes they have absolutely no interest in my plans whatsoever.
And after all these years photographing newborns, I can work with both.
You don’t need to practise anything before you come.
You don’t need to somehow get your baby onto the “right” schedule.
And please don’t spend the morning panicking because your 9-day-old isn’t cooperating.
Bring the baby.I’ll deal with the baby.You can have a coffee.

Photographed a client recently who never complained about the weather, didn’t ask “What do I do with my hands?”, didn’t blink in every photo and wasn’t worried about looking awkward.
10/10.
Would happily work with him again.🐎

I have to admit… horse portraits might have stolen a big piece of my heart.

Would you ever book a photoshoot with your horse?

Photographers need to stop telling women,“Your children don’t care what you look like.”

Of course they don’t.YOU DO.
The other day I came across a post in a completely unrelated Facebook group.Somebody mentioned family photos.Do you know what almost every mum was saying?
“I hated how I looked after pregnancy.”“I avoided every camera.”“I don’t have any photos with my children from those years.”“It’s one of my biggest regrets.”
Not one woman said,“I wish I’d hired a more expensive photographer.”
Not one.The problem wasn’t photography.The problem was they couldn’t stand looking at themselves.And honestly… I completely understand.
If you’ve just had a baby, haven’t slept for six months, live in leggings because nothing else fits and avoid mirrors whenever possible… booking a photo session sounds like a torture.But here’s my question.What if the problem isn’t how you look?
What if the problem is that nobody has ever shown you how to look good in a photograph?How to stand.Where to put your hands.What to wear.Which angles work.
That’s a skill.Not luck.And I think it’s time to create something just for mums.
Not perfect mums.Not size 8 mums.Just mums.Because I’ve seen far too many women regret not stepping in front of the camera.And I’d rather stop that regret before it starts.

Nobody talks about what happens to women after 40.
Not the menopause.Not the wrinkles.Something else.
I’ve noticed women over 40 book portrait sessions for themselves far more often than women in their 20s.And before someone says, “It’s because they have more money.”
No.It’s because they’ve had enough.
Enough of sh*tty relationships.Enough of putting themselves last.Enough of living for everyone else’s expectations.A divorce.Beating cancer.Losing 5 stone.The kids leaving home.
Every single one of those things changes a woman.And here’s what I’ve noticed after photographing women for 19 years…The older they get, the less interested they are in being liked.I bloody love that!
Twenty-year-olds ask,
“Do I look fat?” Fifty-year-olds ask, “Where do you want me to stand?”
Different energy.That’s exactly why I’ve decided to create something specifically for women over 40.
Not another bloody makeover day.Not feather boas.
Something that actually means something.
I’ll tell you more soon.
Happy Birthday to this badass lady. She recently stepped in front of my lens… and absolutely rocked it. 🔥

I know this is going to sound very cheesy, and probably every parent of an eleventh grader is saying the same thing right now…
But yesterday he was a little boy with a doll-like face, nervously walking into his first day of new school…
And a few days ago, he was heading off to his prom. 😅I honestly feel like I blinked.
It’s as if I woke up one morning and he’d turned into a young man.
Like Alice in Wonderland… except instead of falling down the rabbit hole, I somehow skipped the last ten years and ended up in “Growderland.” 🤣❤️
I had to promise him the equivalent of a circus, ponies, and probably his inheritance just to get him to agree to this photoshoot. 😂 But honestly… I can’t imagine not having these photographs.
In a few weeks he’ll start college, then there’ll be driving lessons, girlfriends, moving out, a career…
Life doesn’t ask if you’re ready. It just keeps moving.
So yes… he rolled his eyes at me for making him pose.
And one day, I’m almost certain these will be the photos we’ll both be glad we took. ❤️

I’ve been thinking a lot about maternity photography lately.
After 19 years behind the camera, I find myself wanting to explore something a little different.Different styling.Different lighting.Different moods.
Something beyond I created so far.So I’d love to ask you something.
If you were pregnant right now, how would you want to remember yourself? Would you choose soft, natural and understated? Would you want something emotional and intimate?
Or would you go in a completely different direction and choose high-fashion, Vogue-inspired portraits that make you feel powerful, confident and unforgettable?
There are no right or wrong answers.’m genuinely curious to know what modern women want from maternity photography today.Tell me in the comments:
How would YOU want to be photographed during pregnancy?
I’d love to hear your thoughts and see whether we’re imagining the same direction and help me the right decision.

“Get a proper job. Photography isn’t a real job!.”
That’s a comment I read today under a photography post from some kind of expert 😂
Wow. Just wow. 😂Would you say the same thing to a singer?
A footballer? An actor? A musician? An author? Of course not.

For some reason, people see the final photograph and think that’s all there is to it.They don’t see the years spent learning.
The thousands invested in equipment, insurance, software, training and education.The hours spent editing long after everyone else has gone to bed. The weekends worked.The evenings missed.The business skills required to keep a company running.

The responsibility of photographing moments that can never be repeated.And here’s something I’ve always wondered…
If photography isn’t a real job, why do the biggest fashion brands in the world hire professional photographers to shoot their campaigns?Why don’t they just grab the latest iPhone and do it themselves?
Why do they spend thousands — sometimes hundreds of thousands — on photographers, creative teams, lighting, retouching and production? Because there’s a difference between taking a photo and creating one.
Photography is a profession.Just because somebody loves what they do doesn’t mean it isn’t work. In fact, the best professionals are usually the ones who care enough to put their heart into it.

So no, photography isn’t a “real job.” It’s a business, a craft, a skill, a profession and, for many of us, a career we’ve spent years building. And if you’re one of the people who still thinks photographers just press a button…
I have some bad news for you. 😉
You take a camera. I’ll take a camera. We’ll photograph the same people, in the same location, under the same conditions. Then we’ll compare the results.
If photography is nothing more than pressing a button, we should end up with identical photographs, right?

Something tells me we won’t.😅
