I have so much to catch up on when it comes to sharing all the gorgeous weddings, babies and families I’ve had the privilege of photographing lately.

But if I’m honest, I’ve fallen a little out of love with social media. I’m hoping it’ll come back but who knows!

The pressure to “keep up”, post every day, stay visible and constantly engage so you don’t disappear from people’s feeds and the algorithm can feel overwhelming.

Running a small business alongside raising a young family is hard enough. It’s just me behind the scenes - replying to emails, returning calls, answering messages, photographing sessions, editing galleries, designing albums and everything else that comes with running a business.

The pressure to post simply to be seen is something I really struggle with. What should I post? What do people want to see? Will they like it? What if they don’t? Will they enquire? Will they recommend me? Will they engage kindly….or not?

…..that’s a little glimpse into my daily inner monologue. And then I think ‘Argh, I just won’t bother’.
And then I battle with the thoughts that I’m going to disappear from the dreaded algorithms and feeds so no one will know I’m here🤯

So if you’ve noticed I’ve been a little quieter on here, please know I’m still very much here, doing what I love most……capturing your memories and being present for my clients and my family.

And for now, I think that’s enough.
Thank you for being here and for your patience. Interested to know what you’d like to see, if you want to let me know.🤍

A personal onefrom me.
Big day in our house today…the start of my daughter’s 26 GCSE exams!

I honestly couldn’t be prouder of how hard she’s worked leading up to them. Revision after school, revision on weekends…the dedication and discipline she’s shown has been incredible.

Her dad and I have done our best to support her, although most of what she’s studying completely goes over my head! So instead, we’ve focused on the things we can do - keeping her healthy, well fed, encouraged and reminding her that we’re always here for her no matter what.

Watching her go through this has taken me right back to my own GCSE days.

I was never particularly academic at school and my grades certainly weren’t amazing. The only subjects I truly loved were English and Art.
PE, on the other hand…I absolutely hated it and would avoid it whenever possible!

Recently, I found some of my old school reports in the loft, and two comments really stood out because they still describe me perfectly today:

“Claire always does her best to please.”
Safe to say I’ve always been a people pleaser!

And this one made me smile:
“A girl who needs to be told ‘Well Done.’”

As someone who provides both a service and a product - in an industry that’s incredibly subjective - hearing positive feedback still means the world to me. Knowing my clients are happy is what gives me the confidence to keep doing what I love.

Despite my GCSE results, I scraped enough grades together to get into college and study something I was passionate about. I think my tutor saw my enthusiasm more than my academic ability and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Three different college courses eventually led me to achieving a BA Honours degree… something I never imagined I’d be capable of.

That degree became the starting point of my journey as a self-employed professional photographer.

30odd years ago I left school with a handful of GCSEs.
28 years ago I left college with a BA Honours degree. And all these years later, I’m doing alright.

GCSEs matter, of course, but they do not define a person, their future or their success.

And for the record…I still hate PE!

They really do grow in the blink of an eye 🥹

From tiny toes to big personalities…this is your reminder to capture it all while you can. Children’s portraits and family photos aren’t just pictures….they’re little time capsules you’ll treasure forever.

Wishing this special beautiful little princess the happiest birthday 👑🎂

Mummy had the sweetest idea for this session… and honestly, how could I say no?! 💕

Most couples getting married hope for the sun - but the sun can be the nemesis for the ‘tographers’. Bright highlights, dark shadows, dappled light, hotspots…..but it’s how you deal with it.
