Seeking real beauty - natural photography for a healthier, happier world.

With 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?

Reframing busyness. Look for abundance in the everyday.

I’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”?

The power of a tree - the power of nature.

This week I came across a blossom tree. A tree sparkling in the blue sky and shimmering with beautiful white blossom.

Five ways to use your senses and connect with nature each day.

How can we use our senses to connect each day with nature and boost our wellbeing?

There is more and more scientific research emerging about the benefits of nature. All you have to do is use Ecosia (the new eco google) and search “the benefits of nature” to discover the new and evolving science and reasons to connect with nature.

Nature is good for your memory, boosts your mood, improves attention and boosts creativity. However I am asking you to look into your heart and ask yourself, do you really need this evidence? Do you already understand the true power of nature on your wellbeing? Can you feel it?

Showcasing the human side of your team and business - "I want to capture each individual's personality".

Darren 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.

Favourite eco friendly swaps of 2020

For 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.

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.

"Look for the light in the everyday" - positive thinking for our wellbeing during lockdown

This 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.

Where will your family visit first after lockdown? Five of our family favourites near Bristol.

I 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.

Let's lift each other up through nature and photography for health and wellbeing.

I 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.

Embracing kindness and nature at this time for our health and wellbeing

Embracing kindness and nature at this time for our health and wellbeing

Over 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.
