I was reluctant to make this post because it isn’t all polished and perfect. This month was the first time I made no money at all. I have been ghosted by so many people and it’s been hard. I’ve had to learn to not take these moments personally and I’m grateful for the lessons I’ve learnt. I will not let the knock backs get me down. I wanted to be honest about the highs and lows of starting a business. ✨ I will continue learning, growing and doing what I love which is capturing beautiful moments and people. Let’s go June 💪

I want to personally thank each and everyone of you who contacted me and nominated a loved one to receive a family photoshoot 🥹 there are so many people out there fighting their own battles and having to put on a brave face whilst raising their children 🤍 I truly wish I could give away a photo session for free to each and every deserving family and those who know me know it’s very hard for me to not do that. 🙈 I have now chosen a family and I can’t wait to personally meet them and give them memories to cherish forever ❤️ This is a reminder to Always be kind. Smile at someone. Say hello. If you think someone has cool shoes .. tell them, have patience with that ‘bad driver’ and tell those you around you that you love them!!

So excited to be able to take more golden hour couple photos in my upcoming weddings ☀️

The lighting is just the best. It’s so warm and flattering & guaranteed they will become some of your favourite images.

I turn into a weather reporter during weddings I never imaged how important it actually. During your day I am checking sunset times, where the sun is setting, what the weather is doing, where we can go etc etc… You are oblivious to all of this of course and if agreed all I do is give you a little nod/ tap on the shoulder and off we go literally into the sunset.

This time gives you a short window of 15-20 mins to escape somewhere quiet and go for a walk just the two of you (and me of course, maybe a videographer too 😜).

You will return back to your evening guests refreshed and ready to continue the celebrations. (Don’t worry we’ll bring along your drinks and I’ll pop them down for you or you enjoy them and have them in some
Shots I really don’t mind)

All words are my own! No AI allowed anymore. Dyslexic me is proud 🙌

Real family portraits full of laughs and so much love ❤️ This was one of my very first sessions and still one of my favourites. I was invited to the family’s farm and it was so special. Everyone was relaxed and happy in their own environment and I just captured them exactly as they were. Perfect 😍

I will be messaging the chosen family to receive their free session very soon 😍 keep an eye on your inbox if you nominated someone. I have an idea of how we can make it really special when you tell them 🥹

✨ A little act of kindness ✨

Having my own family photos done recently was so special. I know this isn’t something everyone can afford at the moment. The cost of living is so much and the struggle is real. Every time I put on the news I see about rising fuel costs, energy bills, food banks being used more the list is endless. I’d love to do something to spread a little kindness and positivity.

I’m gifting a FREE family photoshoot to one deserving family. No likes and shares and rules to this I just want to help someone have special family memories.
Send me a private message if you know someone who has had a difficult year? Someone who always puts everyone else first? A family facing challenges, someone who needs a little lift, or someone simply deserving of something special?

Please let me know the following..
🤍 Who you’re nominating
🤍 A little about them
🤍 Why you feel they deserve this

I’ll going to read every nomination carefully and choose one family to receive a session. I won’t announce the winner & it won’t be known who gets the free session. I will just message you & get details of the family to photograph. There is no catch here. No hidden extra costs I simply want to give something back.

We all need to be kinder at the moment & do what we can to keep spirits high when it’s so easy to feel defeated ✨
