March 2018: The Moments In Between

I take hundreds of photos every month, and most of them don’t get shared with anyone, let alone online. And yet the moments in time that those photos capture are just as important a part of our story as the other images that I do choose to share. I created this blog as a way…

Little Loves: March 2018

March has felt like the longest month ever.  Today marks the start of the Easter holidays but honestly I thought they would never arrive – the days were passing by but the end of term just didn’t seem to be getting any closer, even though it’s only been a short half term.  It’s been quite…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 11-20

These last two weeks have felt weirdly never-ending, like the Easter holidays aren’t actually getting any closer.  We’re looking forward to two weeks of fun together and keeping everything crossed that the weather plays nicely so we can get outdoors as much as possible in between having time at home with friends round. There has…

Life in 52: {Weeks 11 & 12}

At the start of January I began a new year-long photography project: Life In 52. The idea is simple – to take one photo a week for each week of the year. It’s a lifestyle photography project, documenting little snippets of my life that I want to remember. The project is being hosted by Sarah…

Project Happy {Year 5}: Days 1-10

This post marks the start of a brand new year of Project Happy.  I still can’t quite believe that I’m about to embark on my fifth consecutive year of a 365 project.  I have absolutely no intention of stopping whatsoever – it’s become as familiar to me as breathing.  I love looking back at random…

Wedding Photography Workshop

A few weeks ago, back in February half term, I stepped out of my comfort zone and attended a Wedding Photography Workshop up in Leeds, which was being run by Steve Gerrard. The girls and I had a family photoshoot with Steve last summer and I really liked his easygoing manner, so much so that…
