I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your children are under absolutely no obligation to arrive at a photoshoot and suddenly become tiny professionals. 😂

Parents often arrive apologising because their child is wild, shy, covered in sand or mainly interested in snacks. If I had a pound for every apology, I’d probably have retired by now.

And I get it.

By the time you arrive, you’ve usually already packed half the house, negotiated with at least one child about what they’re wearing and spent the journey silently praying nobody falls asleep in the car or has a meltdown because their brother looked at them the wrong way.

So honestly, if your biggest worry is whether they’re going to stand nicely and smile at me, you can let that one go.

I’d actually be a bit worried if they did.

Children are supposed to run and climb, get distracted by sticks and shells, and ask for snacks every seven minutes.

Because they’re not trying to impress anyone.

They’re just busy being little.

And I don’t know about you, but I think that’s rather lovely✨

I noticed something funny when I looked at my recent calls list the other day.

My husband.
My mum.
My dad.
My sister.
My children.
And every now and then, the names of a few close friends.

Over and over.

(Apparently, I’m nothing if not predictable 😂)

It made me realise that I can spend far too much time wondering whether I’m writing the right caption, whether people will like my photos, or why I lost a follower.

Worrying about what people online I’ve never even met might think of me.

And yet, none of the people in my recent calls list have ever thought less of me because I said the wrong thing.

None of them have ever rung me up and said, “Georgie, I really didn’t care for that caption.” 😂

None of them are keeping score.

They’ve seen me at my best and at my worst, and somehow they still keep answering the phone 🤍

And maybe that’s why, when life gets messy, wonderful, heartbreaking or exciting, we all end up calling the same names.

Over and over again.

🤍

These photographs are from last spring, they’re extra special because they’re of my oldest friend.

We’ve been friends since we were six years old. Somehow we’ve gone from friendship bracelets and sleepovers to babies and family photographs.

I definitely don’t call her often enough, but I know if I did, she’d answer.
And if I looked at my recent calls list in another twenty years, I hope her name is still there 🤍

I don’t know when this happened exactly, but apparently this is who I am now 😂

The sort of person who thinks fresh bed sheets really do deserve all the hype.

Who’s much happier staying in than she ever used to be.

Who can somehow spend an entire day being busy and still wonder what she actually achieved.

Who buys books as though she has unlimited free time!

Who seems determined to decorate her home like she lives in a countryside cottage with chickens and a vegetable patch, in reality is living a life that currently looks nothing like that 😂

Our puppy, Alma, has quickly become one of my favourite parts of every day, even though she seems determined to eat absolutely anything except her own toys.

And who, despite her best intentions for that early night, still thinks starting to fold laundry at 9.47pm is a sensible idea.

Also… why does nobody talk about how much of adulthood is just moving things from one room to another?

Please tell me I’m not alone 😂🤍

P.S. Since we’re doing introductions… I thought it was about time I left my new branding on the grid too 🤍

Maybe you’ve been meaning to book the maternity shoot, but you’re 34 weeks now and keep telling yourself you’ll feel more ready next week.

Next week you’ll have sorted the nursery, decided what to wear, found a little more energy, or perhaps you’ll just feel a bit more like yourself again. But if pregnancy teaches us anything, it’s that there’s always another “next week,” and somehow the weeks have a habit of slipping by faster than we’d like.

Honestly, if there’s one thing I’ve learnt from photographing expectant mums over the years, it’s that almost nobody turns up feeling completely ready.

Most arrive saying some version of, “I’ve left it too late,” or, “I nearly didn’t book because I just don’t feel very photogenic right now.”

(For the record, I once photographed a gorgeous mama who was two days overdue, so I promise there’s often more time than you think 😂)

The other thing I can tell you is that by the end of the shoot, they all say the same thing… “I’m so glad I did this.”

So if you’re reading this at 34 weeks with a to-do list longer than your arm and a hospital bag that’s still very much a problem for future you, just know you’re in very good company 🤍

You don’t need to have the nursery finished.

You don’t need to know what you’re wearing. (That’s what my client wardrobe is for.)

And you definitely don’t need to have it all together.

You just need to turn up.

I’ll take care of the rest✨

I know the weather outside says otherwise, but yes it is summer and this time of year has always held some of my favourite memories.

Maybe it’s because life seems to revolve a little less around routines and a little more around making the most of the good days. Whatever it is, summer just feels lighter somehow.

And yet, no matter how light and carefree the days feel, they still seem to slip by in a blur.

My eldest baby turns 20 this summer. And honestly, I swear it was only five minutes ago we were spending our evenings wave jumping and driving home with him wrapped in sandy towels in the back seat🤍

I can still picture him, covered in sand and happy just to be with me.

And somewhere between then and now, it’s been a while since he last asked to come with me.

I don’t even remember when that changed.

Twenty years of motherhood has taught me that summers have a funny way of feeling endless while you’re in them.

Until suddenly, they’re not✨

Back to work this week after a wonderful half-term break ☀️

Honestly, the juggle has felt very real lately.

When you’re self-employed, it’s easy to imagine that being a photographer means spending your days behind the camera or editing beautiful galleries. The reality? Those things are actually just a small part of it.

Lately I’ve been wearing all the other hats… marketing, social media, website updates, admin, accounting, printing orders, answering emails and all the bits that happen behind the scenes that nobody really sees.

Then there’s home life. Being a mum, a wife, and supporting a husband who also decided to take the leap into self employment with our family run restaurant means there’s often a lot of plates spinning at once.

So those sunny beach days with the children last week felt especially precious. The kind of days that remind me exactly why I’m building this life in the first place.

This week it’s back to doing what I love most, chatting to other Mums and creating memories!

I do have a couple of session spaces that have opened up across June and July, so if you’ve been thinking about booking, send me a message and let’s start planning something together 🤍

Black or white… but not how we usually do it 🤍🖤

When I first start chatting to a client, I can usually feel where the session is heading long before we even meet. From the way they describe themselves and the little details they drop that I instantly pick up on, my creative brain starts ticking…

Soft and romantic or bold and powerful.
Stillness or movement.
Beach rocks wrapped in white or standing fearless in the sea in black lace.

Honestly, maternity sessions never have to fit into one box and I love that no two women ever bring the same story into motherhood✨

Sometimes a baby photoshoot doesn’t have to happen when they’re 2 weeks new…

This session was pure love 🤍

I’ve photographed babies lately who have been 6-7 months old- trust me it’s not too late, I’m here for the personalities, the dimpled hands and the bright eyes✨

If you’re worried you’ve missed the window- take this as your sign to let you know you absolutely haven’t…

I blogged… it’s been a hot minute.

I could’ve blogged about all the things photographers blog about- dressing for your session or how you shouldn’t worry if your children don’t behave.
But instead I put what was in my head on paper (or online!)
I don’t think it’s a secret I’ve been struggling with my older two- growing up! And well as I sit here and look at photos of them from years gone by, I can’t help thinking ‘what do I do now?’ Yes I’ve still got my 7 year old- but there’s this overwhelming feeling of even though they’re grown and don’t rely on me- who am I now? My whole identity is centred around being a Mum…

Yes my star sign is cancer, so I overthink and feel everything a little too deeply! Anyway, have a read… you might feel like this too.
And if you do, reach out and we can support each other!



PS: thank you to Hanna for spending a freezing November afternoon on the moors with us to capture the gorgeous photos for us
