Portrait Photographer & Blogger
I’ve started listening and reading poetry this month. The last month before the work storm breaks and I have spent some of it trying to envisage ways that I’ll keep some calm in me whilst everything outside is going to be pretty chaotic. I struggle to find peace or balance when the to do list […]
April really put the 365-ness in to this 365 project. The relentlessness and regardlessness is the point of the project. Pushing through and picking up the camera regardless is the point. Taking less than your best photos and photos that deviated from your intentions are the point. Distracted, time pressured, heartbroken by life, exhausted by […]
I love how old things crumble. And doesn’t the salt air and coastal wind do it more gracefully than anything? The fading, cracking, peeling, rusting and crumbling down. The beautiful returning to earth. I love how it all suggests stories and brims with a life lived. How we lean in to things that sit in […]

Here to bring the world her light, laughter and love. I can’t wait to watch you grow and shine darling girl! “The inner […]
Project 365 March round-up… And through it we marched; March. This almost aggressively cold month. Taking it’s time to see out the last of lockdown number three. Slowly we held our breathe and waited for it to be over. Ticking off the days, one to thirty-one. But we made it. And here’s a little of […]
Braintree Newborn Lifestyle Photography I like to think that I live better if I always stay aware of the moments or times of my life that I will be most grateful for having really drank them in. Having children is a lot about that. If we weren’t told enough before having them that “it goes […]

Mersea Island Documentary Photographer Here we are just trying to pass these cold lockdown days. Walking to remind ourselves the world is bigger than our four walls. Feeling the fresh air in our lungs to wake our bodies and minds up. Raking up the beach in to our boots for depositing all around the house […]
Maternity Photographer Colchester, Essex What a wonder it is to behold a woman at this phase of life. Making life. Transitioning her own life with the act. Those 9 steady months of waiting and counting. Checking off those milestones, the ones that happen deep inside unseen and the ones you can see and feel. Every […]
February Snow in Essex Living under the lockdown feels a lot like one of those weighted blanket, sometimes soothing and secure being pressed in to the mattress like that. So cosy I genuinely worry about whenever I’ll have to crawl out from underneath it. Little slithers of outside world reality breeze through like unwelcome early […]
Digging around in the box of padded ski clothes. Zipping us all in to all colours of fleece lined, man-made fabrics, swooshing as we shuffle out the door. Out of breath with the hassle before we start. Preemptively a little cross that we might not last out there as long as it took to get […]
