T and her second bump šŸ¤

We shot this at Holywell Bay on one of those still evenings where the light just diffuses itself… (code for: overcast!!) šŸ˜‚

Didn’t dampen any spirits though!

Feeling very lucky to have photographed this mama through both of her pregnancies now šŸ¤

We’re having a few days away to end summer…

But just wanted to drop these here first because my lovely friend Dorset Beach Maternity, Newborn & Family Photographer came to visit Cornwall and obviously we had to meet up at the beach!

And THIS is the perk of having photographer friends šŸ¤

Well… these, plus a few iPhone snaps at the end when the kids decided to take to the sea!

We’ve had such an amazing summer. But now it’s time for a little break, a bit of doing nothing and hopefully some serious catching up on my reading because I’ve now seen approximately 304,368 reels about the new ACOTAR book and I’m only halfway through TOG 😭

AND I haven’t even started CC, which apparently I need to read too?! The theories have me in a head spin at the moment because I’m late to the party as per…

See you in September šŸ¤

It’s funny what happens when someone points a camera at us.

Suddenly we forget what we normally do with our arms, stand about a foot away from the person we literally share a bed with and wait to be told what to do šŸ˜‚

I get it. You don’t know how to instinctively pose for photos. Bad news, I won’t always tell you either!! (But for good reason!)

The good news is… you don’t really need to ā€˜pose’.

Because it’s usually the things you don’t think are important that end up being the magic.

Picking the flowers. Scooping the kids up for a surprise kiss. Throwing them in the air. Come along, have a little wander, explore where you are, mess around and actually have a good time together ✨

It probably won’t feel like you’re doing anything particularly special. And that’s kind of the point.

But then you see the photos and realise… THAT was it.

It’s actually really simple.

Stiffness = doesn’t photo well.

Standing together but somehow not touching = doesn’t photo well šŸ˜‚

But genuinely having a good time together? That gives us SO much more.

So please, come along, relax and embrace the experience. Dads, it’s just an hour. 90 mins tops! šŸ˜‚

Because at the end of the day, the more you give me, the more I can give you back.

And I reckon we’ll all enjoy it a lot more that way too šŸ¤

CHRISTMAS✨

So I popped a little on my stories yesterday of Christmas Sessions past!

Now it’s time to think of Christmas Future!!!

This year you’ll find me back at the woods in my usual spot…

If you want the details… drop me a DM and I’ll send you the info you need to get booked šŸŽ„šŸŽ„

Summing up a gorgeous session in one shot! šŸ–¤šŸ¤

Loved this session. Beautiful mama-to-be, at a location I’d never photographed at before and, despite it practically being on my doorstep, I hadn’t even visited in YEARS!

It actually got me thinking… there are SO many places in Cornwall I either haven’t been to in forever, or have somehow never visited at all. Which seems slightly ridiculous considering I’ve lived here my whole life!!

So I want to know yours!

Where’s your favourite spot in Cornwall? Beach, woodland, somewhere completely random that nobody ever talks about… I want to hear them.

Drop yours in the comments and please actually do… don’t leave me hanging here or I’ll have to switch to my personal account and start commenting on my own post šŸ˜‚

Well… the summer holidays have well and truly swallowed me whole. Erm, where did August go!?

I’ve been a little quiet on here while I attempt to juggle work, school holidays and just general life and, honestly, this first summer of being completely self-employed has been a bit of a juggle! There have been SO many beautiful sessions happening behind the scenes though and I really need to actually start sharing some of them!

So… let’s start with this gorgeous maternity session at Holywell Bay šŸ¤

We couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Just look at that light! Holywell Bay at sunset will forever be one of my favourites.

And also… can we just take a minute for how bloody beautiful this mama looks?!

I love it when partners come along too. Yes, we absolutely make time for you and that incredible bump, but they’re waiting for this baby too!

And I don’t know, there’s just something about photographing the two of you at this point. You’re still the two of you… but also, you’re not really are you?!

There’s already this whole other little person taking up SOOO much space in your lives. You talk about them, you make plans around them, you wonder what they’ll look like, who they’ll be… and you haven’t even met them yet.

I mean, how wonderful is that when you actually think about it?!

Anyway… September.

I somehow have ONE space left. One!! I swear about five minutes ago we were all getting excited about summer šŸ˜‚

So if you’ve been thinking about a maternity or family session this autumn, give me a shout because apparently autumn is coming whether I’m ready for it or not!

Oh, and while we’re talking about me being completely unprepared for how fast this year is going… I’m already putting out feelers for CHRISTMAS MINIS. šŸŽ„šŸ˜‚

Yes. I said Christmas.

In August.

More on those very soon because I need to get myself organised first šŸ˜‚āœØ

Well… it’s been a little while since I posted anything on here! So… HI šŸ‘‹šŸ¼

The summer holidays are very much doing their thing and not gonna lie, the plate spinning has been A LOT!!

This is actually my first summer holidays being completely self-employed, and I think somewhere in my head I imagined this lovely balance where I’d work around the school holidays, have loads of time with Henry AND somehow keep on top of galleries, emails, print orders, social media and all the other little bits that come with running a business.

Turns out I may have been slightly optimistic.

So there’s been a lot of late night working over here, insane amounts of mum guilt and that means Instagram has been slightly neglected.

Anyway… enough of my little summer update because LOOK AT THIS GALLERY!!

I’ve been wanting to shoot out on the moors more for ages and this location is just perfect. I’m a little bit obsessed with the road and the gorse and it just feels so Cornwall, I know we think of the beach but I love this. Honestly, MORE MOORS PLEASE.

And I had so much fun styling this mama. I wanted something that felt a little more relaxed and completely at home in this location, I LOVE how it all came together.

I have a rather large client wardrobe that I’ve somehow managed to accumulate šŸ˜‚ but also about a million ideas constantly floating around my head for how I’d style different pieces, different mamas and different locations.

I love maternity sessions that have space for time focused completely on you, but also time to capture your family as it is right now, before another little person arrives and changes it all over again.

Anyway… I’m still here šŸ˜‚ Still shooting, still sending out prints, still editing into the night and still getting ridiculously excited about beautiful light, clothes and locations.

And apparently now campaigning for more maternity sessions on the moorsšŸ¤

Does anyone else feel like the summer hols have absolutely no structure?

I couldn’t tell you what day it is without checking my phone.

Henry and I have been soaking up the days, Alma is growing at what feels like double speed (and is still campaigning very hard to make the sofa her bed), and somehow the weeks are disappearing before I’ve even looked at my to-do list…

The reality is, my working day has just shifted a little. The days belong to Henry, and once he’s tucked up in bed, the laptop comes back out, galleries get edited, prints get wrapped and my evenings become my working hours.

So if I’ve been a little quieter on here, that’s why.

Anyway… enough of my little summer update. I thought it was about time I shared this beautiful session with youšŸ¤

A little while ago I mentioned I’d been swept up in ā€˜perfection’.

Just to be clear… not me being perfect! šŸ˜‚

But at some point in my photography ā€œcareerā€ (let’s use that term loosely because I’m still figuring this all out!) I gave in to imposter syndrome. I believed my work wasn’t as good as someone else’s. I thought EVERY shot had to be a hero shot because that’s what everyone else seemed to be sharing.

And I got lost somewhere chasing perfection!

Let me explain what I mean… here’s a carousel of photographs.

Take a scroll through. Some of these didn’t even make it into the final gallery, but let me tell you what I see… and maybe why they should have.

Two brothers. One big, one little, completely lost in their own world together.

A little girl daydreaming, scribbling in the sand.

A mum’s hand resting casually around her daughter’s shoulders. Completely instinctively because she knows exactly where she’ll be.

A dad carrying his youngest son on his shoulders. You can’t even see their faces, but just look at how tiny those little legs and feet are. I mean how long do they stay that small?

A dad kneeling in front of his daughter so he can look her square in the eyes. Nothing remarkable is happening here, but to her he’s the greatest man in the world because he stopped… just to see her.

A mum sneaking up behind her biggest baby, just to rest her head on his for a second… simply to breathe him in.

Maybe these photographs don’t shout the loudest, but to me they’re where the story lives.

Maybe it’s because I’m a mum to teens now…

But maybe it’s because that’s my job.

To preserve the little details.

I wish I could remember just how chubby those little fingers were.

How tiny they looked sitting on Dad’s shoulders.

Their wild curls and babyish little side profiles.

No day comes along with a warning that says, ā€œToday is the last day you’ll carry two of your little ones at the same time.ā€ Blimey… if it did, we’d never put them down.

That’s why I think these photographs matter.

Perhaps not today… but I have a feeling you’ll come back to them for years.

The photographs you never knew you neededšŸ¤

I caught myself doing something today that I didn’t actually want to do… stay with me on this one!

I’d just finished lunch. I was completely full, and before I’d even thought about it, I’d reached for a biscuit.

Halfway through eating it, I realised I didn’t even want it.

It was just habit.

And it got me wondering how many other decisions we make like that.

Not the biscuit part… šŸ˜‚

But the part where we don’t really stop to ask ourselves what we want before we’re already doing what feels familiar, what feels safe, or what we think we’re supposed to do.

I think it’s why so many mums tell me they nearly didn’t book a maternity session.

Not because they didn’t want one.

But because they worried they wouldn’t look their best, they’d feel awkward, or wondered what everyone else might think. (That’s usually the big one)

And then afterwards, almost every single one says some version of the same thing…

ā€œI’m so glad we did.ā€

But I wonder how many things we don’t do because we think everyone else is judging us, when in reality they’re probably too busy worrying about themselves.

I’m not saying never eat the biscuit… because let’s be honest, I’ll probably do the same thing tomorrow šŸ˜‚

But maybe today’s the day we all stop for a second and ask ourselves…

ā€œIs this actually what I want?ā€

Because I have a feeling we’ve all talked ourselves out of something at one time or another.

Was it something you’ve done… or something you’ve been putting off? I’d genuinely love to knowšŸ¤
