Wildlife Photography Workshops… coming soon 🐦📸

I’m so excited to start bringing together some beautiful nature-inspired photography days.

Think slow mornings, fresh air, birdsong, cameras, creativity and actually taking the time to look properly at the world around us.

I’ll be planning a mix of things, including:

🌿 Mindfulness Photography Days
🐦 Wildlife Photography Workshops
📸 Nature walks with cameras
🪶 Slow, creative days outdoors
🌳 A chance to learn, notice and reconnect with nature

These will be for anyone who loves wildlife, photography, creativity or just wants a peaceful day outside doing something a little bit different.

You won’t need to be a professional photographer. It’ll be more about slowing down, observing, learning and capturing the little bits of magic we usually rush past.

If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, comment below and I’ll keep you updated when dates are released. 🐦✨

Also, I made this Ad using AI! How cool is that?!

Some recent wildlife shots ❤️

Really glad to have captured a reed warbler today. These tiny birds travel all the way to Africa and back, then somehow return to the reeds each spring - VERY cool! They’re usually heard before they’re seen, and this one kept hiding from me, which made finally capturing it feel even more special.

The heron photo is extra special to me because I remember them when they were still in their nests. I managed to watch a few when they had recently fledged, and now they look all grown up!

The little starling is from my garden. They visit daily and take over the entire garden, but they’re very cute to watch... and I do love a rainy photo.

The wren was such a lovely moment too. I found its nest and watched it busily flying back and forth with food. Tiny bird, huge job.

I also loved capturing the tern in flight, the blackbird tucked among the branches, and the baby blue tit shouting for food.

And then there were the smaller details too... a beautiful blue damselfly resting on a leaf, and a great crested grebe out on the water, looking wonderfully dramatic as always.

Fun fact: Damselflies are like tiny living jewels, and they belong to an ancient group of insects that has been around since before the dinosaurs. How amazing is that?!

Nature is honestly magic. So stop, slow down and look properly...there is so much life happening around us. ❤️

I’m so excited to finally share that I’m a FINALIST in the Tonbridge Business Awards 2026 for the Creative Business Award 🎉

Honestly, this means so much.

What started as a passion for photography and creativity has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of, and to be recognised alongside so many amazing local businesses is such an honour.

Thank you to every single person who has supported me, booked a shoot, recommended me, shared my work, trusted me with your memories, or simply cheered me on along the way. It genuinely means the world.

I’m also really excited to attend the awards evening and be surrounded by so many incredible businesses and inspiring business people from our local community ✨

No matter what happens next, I already feel incredibly grateful to have made the finalist list 💛

Bring on the awards night! 💕

AI Photos Aren’t You 🤍

I’ve seen SO many people recently sharing different AI apps for business portraits and honestly… Just NO. 😂

Yes, AI can create polished *fake* photos.
But your clients want to connect with a real person - not an AI-generated version of you sitting in a fake office that doesn’t even exist...

Your business is built on trust, personality and connection. People want to see the real person behind the brand.

Also… a real branding shoot is actually an experience! We chat, laugh, wander around, hype you up and create photos that genuinely feel like YOU.

I promise it’s nothing like awkward school photos!

You leave with amazing photographs and feeling fabulous afterwards, which an AI app definitely cannot do.

I’ve written a full blog about it here:

AI business photos may look polished, but clients can tell when something feels fake. Discover why authentic branding photography still matters for your business.
