✨️ F I F T E E N ✨️ . Lola turned 15 last

✨️ F I F T E E N ✨️
.
Lola turned 15 last week - the last of a stretch of winter birthday celebrations on either side of Christmas. She went bowling with her friends, we had fish & chips for dinner as a family, and I took her to see Wicked: The Musical in London's West End as a surprise.
.
Watching her light up inside as we watched the show was priceless. Seeing her reactions to the gifts she was given by everyone who loves her was magic. She was grateful for everything.
.
And I'm grateful for her - she has the biggest heart of anyone I know; she loves fiercely; and she is resilient, loyal and kind. She wants to work as a primary school teacher when she's older and honestly I think she'd be wonderful at it.
.
Happy birthday beautiful - the joy you bring is infinite ❤️

My 'top nine' from 2024... each of the girls on th

My 'top nine' from 2024... each of the girls on their own and all together; milestones including birthdays, prom and uni offers; a self portrait; and some travel both here in the UK and further afield. A good mix.
.
They're not my personal favourite images from the year, but they're certainly memorable moments that I'm very happy I documented.
.
2024 has been an extraordinarily challenging year, in many ways and for many reasons. I've survived. And I'm stepping into 2025 feeling a whole jumble of emotions. Whatever it brings, and whoever I become, I'm ready.
.
Thank you to every single one of you who follows, likes, comments, saves, shares and connects with me on here in other ways. It might be 'just' an app for some, but for me it's a community full of kindness, a space for friendship, and a huge source of inspiration. Wishing all of you a peaceful close to 2024, and a happy and healthy beginning to 2025.

The next chapter begins...

2024 has been an incredibly challenging year. It's been a year of unravelling all the stories I've told myself; unlearning all the things I once thought were true; and unbecoming all the versions of me that I used to be. It's an ongoing process - I still feel untethered.
.
Showing up for this project // for myself // for these self portraits throughout this year (even though I haven't quite managed all 26), has been an exercise that has helped to ground me. I've been able to see myself from all different perspectives. They remind me of who I am.
.
I shot these in a short burst of unexpected light that emerged one winter morning when the rest of the house was still sleeping. They feel somehow representative of where I am right now.

Creating this photobook was an absolute labour of love - many tears were shed over multiple evenings in the weeks leading up to her birthday. I trawled through literally thousands of images from when she was a newborn up until now. So many memories, so many stories, so many emotions... I hope it's something she'll keep forever ❤️

Someone turned 18 last weekend! 🥳 . EIGHTEEN!

Someone turned 18 last weekend! 🥳
.
EIGHTEEN! My heart can't take it and honestly I'm more than a little bit incredulous that she's now officially an adult. I swear she was still a toddler just five minutes ago. People aren't kidding when they tell you that if you blink you'll miss it; that the days are long but the years are short; and that your kids are piece of your heart walking around outside of your body - every single cliche is true.
.
This was her reaction at being given tickets to see @gracieabrams perform live next year 🥰
.
She's my firstborn, the one who made me a Mum, and I couldn't be more proud of who she's becoming. Watching her grow into the person that she is - kindhearted, thoughtful, generous, brave, smart, honest, hardworking, loyal and so much more - has been (and still is) an absolute privilege. I'm so grateful for everything. @ellalouise_2006 - love you more than you will ever know ❤️ 🫶
