We are rapidly approaching the final few days of the summer holidays before the girls go back to school and here I am sharing what we got up to in Week 3. I guess that’s testament to what the summer has been like. My head has felt full of mush with regards to work and…
As a Mum and as a photographer, I know just how important it is to document your memories. To capture those moments that illustrate your life at any given moment. To freeze time on your family, exactly as they are, right now. Photographs are key to telling our stories, to ensuring that we are seen…
As I write this, it’s pouring with rain outside, the girls are snuggled up under a blanket on the sofa watching a film and it feels more like mid-November than mid-August. It’s hard to believe that a whole season has been and gone since we arrived home from our family adventure in Boston at the…
The first two weeks of the summer holidays feel like forever ago already – the time is going so fast. I had been feeling like we haven’t really done very much so far (beyond multiple trips to the library and shopping for school uniforms) but as I look back over these images I can see…
Writing this, wistfully remembering our family adventure in Boston in May half term, got me thinking back about our holidays over the years. When the girls were small, we couldn’t afford to travel.

Slow mornings and adventurous afternoons. Less responsibilities and restrictions and routine. More freedom and spontaneity and joy. (Probably Definitely more bickering and…
The beginning of July feels like forever ago and yet the month seems to have gone really quickly – how is it the 1st of August already?! We are currently almost at the end of the second week of the six week summer holidays and they are disappearing far too fast for my liking. We’ve…
A whole month behind with sharing these and refusing to let that bother me. The moments are no less important for having been put on hold for a while. I still feel what I felt when I first captured them, and that’s all that matters. Little pockets of happiness from the start of July…
It’s become a little bit of a tradition that we escape on holiday for the first week of the summer holidays. As soon as the final bell of the academic year rings, we’re swapping school uniforms for comfy clothes, grabbing ready-packed suitcases and heading down (or up!) the motorway to the airport to catch a…
