WOWZERS!!!
Last night saw the official launch of our ‘Ladies First’ Photography project and I am so proud it’s up!
I'd love to say I breezed up to Croydon to check out the exhibition, elated and full of delight but truth be told - I was elated and full of delight with my stomach in my mouth as I approached lol - I hadn't seen the prints before they went up so I had no idea what they looked like. I mean obviously I’d worked on them and knew how they looked but just not in print! and there is always that second mental check list “wondering if the highlights were in check, the blacks weren't blocked up” and generally the printing was fabulous.
I was delighted!!! The prints look epic! Printed on a stunning Matt paper finish, the detail was sublime!
On show until May please pop along and take a look and share a photo or two, I’d love to hear your thoughts! Enjoy xx
Lisbon, October 2018
This video just popped into my life yesterday - I work with an awesome vacation photography company called ‘Flytographer’ + during our ‘meet up’ in October last year we made this wonderful video about what we did before we were photographers + what it means to be a photographer! So neat! Enjoy xx
TODAY our fabulous exhibition officially opens! Angel & Julia of the Croydonist have written about us https://www.croydonist.co.uk/iwd19/ Please check it out :-) x Have a great Friday Everyone xx

If you get the opportunity do pop along, I'll be there hanging out tomorrow afternoon and then heading to the LNK charity event around 5pm if anyone fancies a catch up!!
Clementine is two weeks young!!!
It was SUCH a pleasure to spend a few hours with Naomi, Luke + Clementine on Sunday - she is just the cutest!
Goodness, it’s been a week that feels more like a year x
So sometimes we pottle along with life, we get caught up in things, busy with work or time just seems to slip past, fly away or you blink and you’ve missed a month (or two!)
Being March 1st, I have actually scratched my head wondering quite where February went - this year I am very consciously working on more of a life / work balance - over the last 3 years I have enjoyed being massively busy but that comes with the flip side of not catching up with friends, seeing family or hanging out as much as you would like and seeing someones face is awesome.
I’ve said recently, many times, that I will post more this year bcos quite frankly last year I barely took a breath let alone posted very much and I intend that to change but more now, today I have to change that bcos I miss that connection (this now feels like a Friday night confessional lol) and I’m going to hang out, see friends, go to a supper club or three and ahh breathe. It’s funny how subtly the balance can tip and then all of a sudden it catches up with you. So Friday 1st March 2019, you got me, I’m on it :-)
Here’s to more Friday night confessionals - I know next week I’ll be in Croydon for International Women’s Day so expect pictures!! Have a great weekend everyone x
CROYDON 2019
Appearing in Croydon NEXT week, a series of portraits of inspirational Women will go up opposite the library + I am super excited!!!

Joanna has JUST moved to London to follow her passion for acting and enrolled on amazing course following her dreams and carving out a new life in our gorgeous capital following a messy divorce last year.
Our photo session was to encapsulate her sense of adventure ‘fresh start’ + we had SO much fun!!! My first planned route didn’t quite work + I am thrilled because we got to walk along the Thames a littler more and create these beautiful moments and start to an exciting new chapter!!
I am beyond delighted to share a snippet from last weeks maternity session in the gorgeous Hampshire countryside with Naomi.
Naomi is due this week and we had so much fun prepping our session and including a TUTU!! I know right!! OMG As a Ballerina and dancer, Naomi is so elegant and poised and we had a gorgeous white washed wall as a backdrop to create our magic :-) more to follow soon xx
Sophie & James are one of my most adorable couples from 2015 so it was super exciting to find out they were expecting and to get to hang out with them and photograph their little bundle of cuteness at 3 weeks young this past weekend!! Raff is such a fun character and soo calm too, he was more than happy to get comfy in my array of baskets + blankets!!
Ed popped the question to Stephanie on a chilly November morning in front of the main fountain in the Italian Gardens, London and it was so fun to capture this amazing moment for them both. Stephanie had absolutely no idea what was about to unfold and after she said ‘yes’ we spent some time creating gorgeous engagement pictures for them to cherish and look back on.
SUPER CONGRATULATIONS Ed & Stephanie, here’s to a lifetime of magical moments xx
If you get a moment please check it out here and leave a message :-) xx
To start and end a year with beautiful proposals is, for me, epic, delightful, heart warming, magical + a blessing. It bookends a year in the most romantic way but there’s something about coming full circle that I just love + I am super grateful for.
Jay & Sheena at Kew Gardens
Michael & Lauren in London
Wishing everyone a magical 2019 full of happiness, love, smiles + delight! xx
Sassy Saffron
How awesome is this blast of yellow and fabulous smile!!
Creating and capturing portraits and head shots is always such fun (I think) + it was so much fun working with Saffron yesterday capturing new ones for her professional profile and as a Trustee of LKN - Lives Not Knives for their annual trustee report!
Farnham Castle - love the drama of the main room, first dance and a touch of smouldering smoke
dip low
Jon & Izabela's wedding at Farnham Castle was divine and I particularly love these shots from their first dance, swoshing, sweeping drama #love #weddingday

Oh...My....Goodness......I am SO EXCITED to share Janaki's & Rajan's wedding at Woolwich Town Hall. It was beyond beautiful!!! The interior of the town hall is spectacular and the colour and vibrance of the decor totally complimented the ceremony and post wedding pictures!!! <3
