October has been a funny old month. We’ve mostly been in limbo, just waiting. Waiting for a completion date for our new house; waiting for answers to questions; waiting for multiple different solicitors to do what they need to do with regards to various different situations; waiting for the results of some health tests for…
September seems to have been and gone in the blink of an eye. The girls are all back at school and we’ve begrudgingly settled into our term-time routine of homework and after school clubs and counting down the days until the weekend. Half of me definitely wasn’t ready for summer to be over and half…
During the summer holidays I got the opportunity to tick one more item off of my ‘40 Things Before I’m 40‘ list… #35: take the girls to a festival. It’s been almost twelve months since I last managed to complete any of the tasks on my list, and I’ve only got a few years left…
Somehow an entire month has been and gone since I took part in the ClickinMoms Annual Photo Hunt. How is that even possible? I feel like I’m in a constant state of bewilderment at how fast the days, weeks and months are flying past. I really should be more used to it by now. That…
August has been a funny old month. We’ve not really done very much and yet my head has still felt full – distracted I guess – with all sorts of things. I had grand hopes for fun day trips and exciting weekly adventures with the girls before quickly realising that they weren’t going to happen…
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…
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…
I follow a LOT of photographers online. I find it inspiring seeing such an incredible amount of variety in people’s work and art, and I frequently find myself gathering new ideas for different perspectives to try; alternative ways to photograph something; and simple tips, suggestions and ‘how to’ techniques with regards to the more technical…
June seems to have passed by quite quickly and I’m not entirely sure how we’re halfway through the year already. I said that to someone the other day and their response was to cheerfully let me know that “it’ll be Christmas before we know it!”. Um, no. Just, no. In contrast to the last four…
May felt like a total whirlwind of a month. We got home from our annual Easter trip to Cornwall at the end of April and exactly one month later we jetted off to Boston for May half term! The girls had precisely sixteen days of actual school (plus weekends in between) and during that time…
