Read MoreWith a continuing increase of children and adults spending more and more time on social media, a world of false imagery has exploded with people unable to identify what is real beauty and what is highly edited and false imagery.
It is common for people to over edit their photos, alter the background, spend a long time perfecting (in their eyes) an image before then posting this image online.
However, is this image then perceived by the audience as beautiful?
Surely if the image doesn’t truly reflect who you are then there is no “real” connection with the viewer….? What do you think?
Read MoreI’ve found that a return to busyness has arrived. At first it was with the children’s after school clubs and now with the additional appointments we are all trying to book in along with meeting friends and families for outdoor fun and juggling our work commitments too. Busyness is a funny thing and I generally try to avoid it. However I have been thinking of how I can reframe the term “busyness”?
For our mental wellbeing, how can we re-frame the term “busy”?

Read MoreHere I am sharing five simple tips to create beautiful, natural and fun photos of your family in 2021. With more time at home this year and more quality time with the kids, why not capture your everyday moments and cherish those memories. Here’s a few simple tips to help you.
Read MoreDarren Evans wanted a photographer who could capture each member of his team uniquely, creatively and naturally. As a business focussed on making a positive impact within the construction industry and encouraging others to create a more sustainable built environment, it was important that the images connected with their ideal client and Darren was very clear that he believed that there is more to a person than just a headshot. Darren wanted personality. He wanted his team to feel valued and recognised as individuals and to have each persons passion and unique character shine through. This was the project and I was over the moon to be the photographer chosen to take on the challenge.
Read MoreFor over a year now I have been on a personal journey exploring and discovering sustainable products and eco-friendly products for the home, family and my own personal use. During lockdown I found more time to consider my every purchase and to discover and connect with local sellers making and selling ethical and eco conscious products. Here are a few of my favourite swaps of 2020 so far.

The weeks seem to whizz on by and the kids have been enjoying playing in the garden, collecting snails and making Harry Potter wands from sticks.
We have been getting outside as much as possible and the benefits to our health and wellbeing is amazingly positive.
Here’s a little round up of news for you and a few of my favourite nature photos from the past week.
Read MoreFamily time is precious. We all work to provide for our families. We want the best for our families and we all create fun family moments to connect and enjoy time together….but are you savouring those moments?
When you book a family photography session, you are saying yes to beautiful family photos captured for you, to include you and delivered to you, for you to cherish for a lifetime.
But...sometimes we are hesitant to invest in family photography.
Here are my top reasons why you should prioritise family photography.
Read MoreThis week I have been “looking for the light” not just whilst out walking with the camera but in the everyday too.
t’s been a tough week and I know we are all experiencing these same emotions. What has hit me though is the impact on my children.
Read MoreI have been dreaming this week. Dreaming of the day that we are able to get out and visit places once again. So I thought, I’d ask the boys where their favourite family places are. This is what we came up with.
These are a few of our favourite family trips where we love to visit, meet friends, explore and have fun and of course my camera usually comes too. Where are your family favourites? I’d love to hear.
Read MoreI wanted to share and celebrate with you the wonderful photos that have been captured in the online Connect and Create photography group. This is a space where we have been sharing our nature photos from our daily walks or garden and I have been setting a theme to help guide the photography each day.
It’s a bit of fun and it’s a lovely way to connect with one another and share the different colours out there that nature offers.
Read MoreOver the past week I have been reminded through many different shapes and forms that kindness should always be at the centre of everything that we do.
It is easy to be sidetracked and overwhelmed by the current interchanging environment but through kindness to ourselves and others we can remain positive, connected and grounded at this time.
Our mood is variable and I think that is it really important for us all to accept this changeable state with kindness.
Read MoreSpring has arrived and it is time for us all to get outside and embrace the natural world.
Nature is key to our wellbeing and if we all learn to stop, look, take a deep breathe and appreciate the natural world around us, we will all benefit.
I continue to work with families and bring a little bit of creativity and nature connection into each family photography experience.
Family wellbeing is really important to me. I believe that it is really beneficial for all families to get outside, run wild and have fun.
Through nature based photography, we learn to take time time out, embrace our creativity and individuality and slow down whilst inspiring others and our children to look after and care for the world that we live in.
Join the movement and live in alignment with nature for your health and wellbeing.
