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.

Spring has sprung - join me to put nature at the heart of your family

Spring 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.

Join the movement and live in alignment with nature for your health and wellbeing.

It is a time to slow down, a time to play games, have fun and relax together. There are many temptations that come our way and when it comes to buying gifts for others and planning the “perfect” Christmas day there is a temptation to over consume.

They want us to over consume and buy their goods.
