Last year (or early this year) it took me until we were contemplating our winter get away to kick me up the bum and get my summer holiday photos edited and archived away to the “I’ll be grateful I found time for this one day but right now it’s a right pain in the arse” […]

At Home With Baby Max…
Newborn Lifestyle Photographer, Suffolk If 2020 is the year we stayed home then I am thrilled to be capturing the cosy, contented loveliness of it in these homes blessed with brand new humans. There’s something so so precious about the feeling of a home where a newborn lives. The lull of a heavy tiredness that […]
Wivenhoe Trail Trundling With Two…
Relaxed Wedding Photographer in Essex Strolling along the Wivenhoe trail near the Essex coast with this easy breezy pair of lovers in the late summer golden hour glow. Engaged, wedding planning in the pandemic and the pair of them quite literally saving the world in their day jobs. Well if you can smile, dance and […]
Micro Wedding Wonderfulness at Pembroke Lodge
This is the wedding of Camille & Fred. Who in spite of it all or perhaps because of it all, pulled together this most beautiful and elegant of wedding days at Pembroke Lodge, London in the gorgeous glowy early Autumnal English sun. They flew their core celebration crew in from all over the globe. With […]
Summer Cocooned on Cudmore Grove
Relaxed, fun family photographer, Farlie Photography in East Mersea, Essex. I remember that feeling when summer started and I was so sure it would be transformative. I was always certain I was going in to something that would change me. I always lived in the middle of nowhere and so it really was a form […]
Selfie Layers
Here is my first ever attempt at a self portrait. I am told this processing is one of layers, that each exploit in self portraiture is to peel a layer from yourself and that each layer is difficult but worthwhile. The process is inexplicably hard. Judging your work with yourself as the subject is hard. […]
Solid Gold Couple Goals
Here they are the marital Holy Grail. Ann and Trevor. 50 years in. They’re not just hanging in there either… Smiling, glowing with love and the life they have built together. A life spent well loved and loving well. You’d find it easy to believe they’d never argued a day in their lives. Of course […]
When crowds and confetti have to wait…
Emma and Same. They’re in love and they’ve had to wait for their big day. So we hung out, just hours before Boris told us we couldn’t. Not all celebrations involve crowds and confetti. This one involved fresh air, quiet and a little walk. It’s no comparison to the blast we’re going to have next […]
Freedom in the Frinton Sea Foam
The kitchen, the dining table, the garden, the lounge, the bedrooms, an occasional venture to the garage, the kitchen again, the lounge for good while because we can’t muster a lot of energy to continue the rotation. Then the bathroom, the dining table again and the lounge again. We rotate these familiar surroundings. Surroundings we […]
Hiking for Hedgerow Highlights
Next up on this little creative journal space I call my blog is my first ever set of nature snaps! I took a little online course a few weeks ago on “making mindful films” with Zoe Wittering and whilst I don’t think I am anywhere near a standard with my film work to share anything it […]
Past when we counted the weeks in lockdown…
We’re running low on a lot of things now; Patience, headspace, jobs we’ve been meaning to do and the feel good factor of finally getting it done. Lots of novelties eroded too. The novelty of walking, online workouts, Joe Wicks, writing on a blackboard, all the online educational “games”, FaceTime, Zoom, House Party, quiet roads, […]
To Be Weds in Westley Heights
Love in these times. Is there anything else? We find ourselves in times of our lives on reduction. Reduced down to the things we need, fat trimmed from all the excesses of living such a multifaceted life. It all got simmered down in an instant to 3 main things food, healthcare and our loved ones.
