I shot an event for called ‘Taste of Wild’ back in October. This is easily one of my favourite photos that I took.

Getting to experience the behind the scenes of an event like this was definitely one I’ll never forget. It was incredible observing everyone working together, like the cogs in a well oiled machine.

I was equal parts nervous and excited as this was one of my first freelance gigs. Working in such a collaborative atmosphere made it so much less daunting.

Here’s to some more events like this!

One of the over 300 photos I shot last Sunday 🙈

Im really enjoying editing this lot of photos. I’m so used to editing pictures of flowers from working at a flower farm that editing greens/browns feels familiar.

Having hopped in the car (I’m still not over the excitement of being able to just get up and go somewhere whenever I feel like it) with Rosalie a few weeks back, this spot in Drimoleague felt like the perfect place for a lil’ shoot 📸

Some more favourites from my recent shoot with 📸

Im so grateful to be able to learn more about posing people whilst not necessarily being “on the job”. Shoots like these do wonders for my confidence and I always have so much fun 🎈

Finally got around to shooting some portraits again 📸

These looked so different in my head when I was planning this shoot but I’m still super happy with how they turned out!

It feels great to be excited about photography again. Everywhere we go now I’m always harping on about what would be a great location for a shoot, what props I’m looking forward to getting, what different lenses I can’t wait to invest in. It’s all so exciting!!!

Hope you all had a great weekend ✌️

PS thank you to lovely Rosalie for being my model 💃

I’ve been sooooo busy since the last time I posted that it feels like a whole lifetime ago 🕰

This girl finished her driving lessons, passed her test and has her full licence ✅ I feel like a whole new person and this new found independence couldn’t have come at a better time. No, really. Have a baby during a pandemic and not be able to go somewhere unless someone is around to chauffeur you, it gets tired real quick!

I’m so in love with photography and over the fast few years it’s felt like there’s always been a hurdle in the way. No car or licence, feeling limited with the gear I had, constantly comparing myself to people who have been in the biz faaaar longer than I have. (Hello again imposter syndrome how u doin’?)

I don’t know, it’s all been very positive lately and like things are slowly starting to fall in to place. I’m editing some photos from an indoor shoot last weekend and I’m so thrilled to be back at it!

Here’s to bigger and better things 🥂

I’m so here for these warm summery evenings 🌞

Absolutely wiped with the heat during the day running after a toddler whose batteries never seem to drain 😪 I’ll take being too warm than being stuck inside whilst it’s raining with said child though 😂

Really looking forward to my two shoots booked for Saturday 💃 only 2 more sleeps! 😴

The sky was so pretty last night 🌅

Once Ollie is up for the day there’s no getting him back inside. He just wants to be out and about rolling around in the grass, inspecting the pond, throwing stones or playing mechanic by our cars 😂 he’ll reluctantly settle for a nap in the day and it’s even harder to wind him down for bed at night because there could be something else left to explore.

I love how much he loves the outdoors and how much time I get to spend outside now because of that. This time last year he was only learning to sit up and now he’s a proper little person.

PS thank you to anyone who sent me a nice message after my last post. I’m starting to feel really creative again and I’m here for it. 📸

𝘞𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘦𝘨𝘨𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘴

Imposter syndrome has thrown a major spanner in the works over the last year or so. I’ve had so many ideas and big plans, all to not end up coming to fruition. I follow so many talented creatives and have curated my IG feed so that I feel inspired whenever I open the app. Instead, I end up feeling inadequate, overwhelmed and my motivation flatlines.

That being said, I’m so excited to have booked out 4 mini sessions over the course of July and another shoot with some pals of mine.

I can’t wait to get back to portraiture. I think half the problem was I wasn’t shooting what I really, really love. I think it’s going to be the best thing for me.

Apologies for the long-winded brain dump. If you have any tips for helping tell imposter syndrome to stay the hell away, please do let a girl know.

In the meantime I have some wildlife shots that I’d like to share until I’m back to taking pretty pictures of lovely people.

Thanks for reading if you got this far ✌️

Thanks so much to everyone who reached out about the mini sessions! I was blown away by how many people enquired ☺️

Busy putting together plans for each respective shoot, it feels so good to be putting all my energy into photography again ✨

This photo was taken at Catherine and Michaels wedding during September last year. One of my favourite shots from the day 📸
