My laptop has died 😭 The screen is cracked, the space bar is broken soeverythingitypelookslikethiswhichisveryhardtoread, and it doesn't charge properly.
.
It's making it really quite challenging to communicate with my therapy clients and I can't edit any photos either. (Thank you to everyone who is being so extraordinarily patient and understanding with me 🙏).
.
My new laptop arrived today and I'm feeling a bit anxious about setting it up and transferring everything over... 🤞 it'll all be ok.
.
In the meantime, here's an image from last month - I love the soft light, and the simplicity and serenity it evokes.

“Creativity on the fly” is a course that encourages digging into the processes that nurture and fuel our unique artistic voice, and how we infuse that into our everyday photography. As a collective we celebrate our individual creativity and invite you to visit #creativityonthefly to see the work of our fellow artists.

Currently solo parenting three teenagers whilst ru

Currently solo parenting three teenagers whilst running three businesses and the overwhelm of all the emails // to-do lists // schedules to remember is real. I'm getting by with a/ lots and lots (and lots!) of deep breathing and b/ channelling my youngest daughter's wall of positive affirmation quotes to help me through. Plus, you know, taking five minutes to capture a self portrait in her (very smudgy) mirror because I promised myself I'd do one every month and honouring that feels important.

February always feels like the longest month for me. I'm glad it's over and yet at the same time I'm immensely grateful for all the gorgeous glimmers of joy and magical light and moments of connection.

And now...onwards into March.

Daffodils for my Dad 🌼

(Plus some pretty tulips because I am willing Spring to hurry up and arrive)

Nine years gone and it somehow feels like it's been forever at the same time as it feeling like it was just yesterday. I'm trying to hold space for both, because grief is a many-layered, complex, tender thing.

Twenty years ago today I launched myself off a rid

Twenty years ago today I launched myself off a ridiculously high bridge over a sparkling turquoise river in New Zealand, attached to nothing more than a few pieces of elastic...

Happy bungy-versary @griffpicsdublin 😘 Forever grateful to have bumped into you in the hostel dorm room and let you persuade me to join you on your adventure. Soul-friends for life 🫶
.
After travelling in Australia for a year, I spent three months hitch-hiking my way around NZ and it was honestly one of the best things I've ever done. The experiences I had, the memories I made, the people I met, the stories I could tell... they'll all stay with me forever.
.
I look back at 20yo me and marvel at her bravery. She did what she wanted. She didn't let other people's opinions stop her. She went all-in, with everything. I think maybe 40yo me needs to reconnect with her. She's pretty ace.
.
1/ Post bungy jump pride
2/ Pre-bungy nerves
3/ Mid-bungy! (Quite proud of my dive. The girl in front of me got pushed off)
4/ Kawarau Bridge
5/ Queenstown, NZ
6/ Did it!
7/ I also did a skydive
8/ And hiked across a volcano
9/ And went to the southern-most tip of the South Island (nothing beyond that except Antarctica)
10/ And the longest place-name in the world!

Soaking up every single scrap of midwinter sunshine and every single promise of the coming Spring that I possibly can at the moment 💐☀️

Does anyone else feel like January has gone really quickly and also somehow simultaneously lasted 1864 days already?
