I’ve recently been asked on a couple of occasions to offer “lockdown doorstop photography”.
For me, this is not right for my business. It isn’t because I don’t want to give back to charity. I love to help others and I love to give back to society and community but the doorstep photography is not something I can offer.
My business is built around a community.
A community of kindness, love, authenticity, friendship, creativity and nature. I give back through the online community facebook group, Connect and Create where we continue to inspire each other through our nature photography.
All the proceeds from the sales of my nature cards and nature prints goes towards resources for these groups and 10% from sales of family nature sessions and natural personal branding sessions goes towards the Connect and Create walks and events too.
However at this time, I know that you want your lockdown memories captured so here is my offer to you…

This week I have been “looking for the light” not just whilst out walking with the camera but in the everyday too.

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.

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.

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.

There are a lot of small business owners and entrepreneurs creating their own imagery for their brand and product photography due to the current COVID-19 situation.
We are all in a situation where we are having to adapt and evolve and change the way we work and what works for ourselves in this situation on a personal level and on a business level.
Photography should still be a priority for you. It is the key to connecting with others and it is vital in keeping in touch with your clients, friends and colleagues. You can continue to build your brand, connect with others, share your everyday and share what you are passionate about.

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.
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.

I believe that being outside and being amongst nature is good for the soul.
The research continues to build and the evidence is clear. However for me, this all came about through my own personal experience.
Two years ago, our family made the move to the countryside. One of the best decisions to date for our family. We have four boys and the space of the country is what we needed. However I didn’t anticipate the move being as stressful as it turned out to be.

January is a month that many do not look forward to. So far, January has been a bit of a mixed bag. We have been blessed with bright days, dull days and rainy days. This year I am embracing each day as it comes, sitting back, observing and appreciating the day for what it is. Some days I know I need to take it easy whilst others I am ready to fully embrace.

Connect and Create is designed to be a safe and welcoming community for women to come together to take time out, slow down and re-connect with themselves, nature and others amongst nature.
Each month we come together at Kingsweston House in Bristol to walk amongst nature, learn how to use photography as a tool to calm the mind, get creative and connect with others whilst we walk and explore.
Throughout the year I collaborate with nature based businesses to bring to you new creative skills and activities to express our individuality and learn how you can live more sustainably in every day life.
Connect and Create sessions are designed to be relaxing, calm and fun. You can read more about the upcoming collaboration with Clementine Moon here.

Christmas is a time for family, friends and loved ones to come together.
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. Christmas adverts from well known brands paint a picture of happy families coming together, laughing, with rooms full of gifts, glorious spreads of food and many other Christmas delights. They want us to over consume and buy their goods.
However as COP26 comes to a close and we are encouraged to be more mindful of our purchases and lifestyle, how can we make our Christmas plans in 2021 more sustainable?
Can we say “no’ to over consumption and embrace a more kinder Christmas for the planet?
Read on and learn of some simple, easy switches that you can embrace to create a full filled Christmas that is kinder to people, planet and your family too.

Why I love capturing family photos in the home.
I love family photos. I love the real life moments that can be captured within the home. For young families it is the perfect way to capture simple honest moments of your family life that your children can recognise and relate to. When you and your children look back at these moments, they not only recognise the moment in time but the feeling and familiarity of being at home. This is your safe space. This is your fun place. This is where you are all uniquely you and this should be celebrated and documented to look back on over time.
