24.01.2022 When going through my weekends shots, I found this beauty. It was a snap that spoke to my heart & taught me so much about beauty. It was an unintentional snap, completely unposed on the way to the next shoot spot. I wanted to capture Ava’s boots in the grass, but caught her hands in the flowers. So simple but so beautiful. Present & aware to the natural world around her, quiet and connected. This photos makes me think about being a child, being present and observant. It also reminds me that life is art. Or art is life. I love it when my shots speak to me like that, it reminds me that creativity is so much bigger than me.

18.01.2022 Self-Medicating... this weeks been a tough one, for no reason in particular & it’s only Tuesday! I’ve noticed that when a feeling anxiousness comes I quickly do something to fill the space enter Instagram... as soon as I finish a job or am waiting for something to load, or anytime there is space empty space I fill it with the gram. The last few days less so because I’ve been more intentional about letting the feelings feel all the feels instead of distracting myself... with socials. Today my thoughts wording it like this I’m self-medicating with instagram. So what to do now feel the feels & experience sadness & pain even though I have nothing I can pin point that’s making me sad? Or distract & self-medicate. Feeling feelings is really hard, it’s harder to do it alone so I’ve made sure when I’m feeling anxious I’ve called someone I trust & who’s given me space to be sad & just talk it out. I’m sharing this because you might be feeling sad too. Maybe for a clear reason or maybe for some reason you are yet to understand. It’s ok to be sad if I didn’t believe that I wouldn’t be posting this. Make sure you take time to check in with yourself (no matter how your feeling) because emotions are what make us uniquely human and there is wisdom waiting to be learnt. I do believe that! So even in the anxiousness I’m trying not to judge myself but instead be an observer & push into the pain (as gently as possible). I hope you know that you can feel the feels, you don’t have to be good everyday. See more

18.01.2022 Got out this afternoon to shoot my first family session (keeping social distance of course). This time without shooting has shown me how much I genuinely enjoy capturing authentic moments as they unfold. Hope your Saturday was lovely! We had a clear sunshine day today so that was another reason to be happy! Is my mood really that dependant on the weather??

17.01.2022 Thankful for afternoon light & sunshine in the form of my creative soul sister @_bonniegray being a heavy week more heavy than usual today spent with Bon & her sunshine spirit was exactly what I needed! Now to use the last light to shoot for @gypsylaineliving happy Friday lovely people!!

15.01.2022 A very unexpected Sunday! I’ve been wanting to get back into paining & drawing as I do believe it is going to help me with expression in ALL other areas of my life & when I have a creative outlet I am a better more conscious human. So today I began with drawing & then an unexpected drop in from my fellow creative soul sister @_bonniegray we walked, foraged for flowers & then did some observational sketching. Simple Sunday joys!! Filling my space with flowers is really such a delight. So lucky to have a beautiful florist friend & a neighbourhood full of blooms thankful for unexpected, spontaneous joys! @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

13.01.2022 Being Mother’s Day firstly of course sending love to my mum but I also thought I’d share some thoughts about what it is to be a mother... being at an age where a lot of my friends have kids now & are mums makes you think about what being a mum actually means. Some people I know would be amazing mums but can’t have kids, some people have kids but are horrible mothers, some have never given birth but have adopted children, some have done neither but are mothers to their cor...e. Being a mother is more than just about reproducing... it’s a spirit that is evident among so many more than those who have given birth or not. I’m not saying this to take away from those beautiful women who have carried, birthed & raised children but I’m saying this to encourage & affirm all those who nurture, invest, care for, talk to, be present with children & humans in general. You probably didn’t receive a gift today, but if you carry the mother spirit in you celebrate it! We need it, much more than ever! Mother Teresa never have children but she had the heart of a mother she changed her world because of it. celebrating mothers of all kinds today @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia See more

12.01.2022 I’ve worked in a lot of random places over my time! Here are a couple of my fave spots Welcome to the studios in order of scroll, let me introduce them... 1. My studio space I currently have. 2. My downstairs desk in my little apartment in China 3. My little make shift desk in my cabin at a muskoka woods summer camp I worked at in Canada 4. A nook in an Airbnb we lived in when we lived in Bali 5. Another Airbnb (upgrade) in Canggu, Bali 6. Beachside at a favourit...e beach in Newcastle 6. And finally my upstairs desk in my little home in China, where many poems were born. Moral of the story, you can work anywhere using pretty much anything. Creativity isn’t bound to the space you work, it’s from a well deep inside that you have access too! Although creating a space for your creativity to play is important (any flat surface will do!) get creating lovely humans the journey is worth it! xx @ Some Where in the Earth

11.01.2022 Happy days over here because I figured out that when the sunshine’s I’m most productive (living in Melbourne’s going to be great for my business I can tell haha )! Thanks so much for supporting my little creative business & entering the giveaway that we shared last night! So exciting seeing everyone comments & rags flooding in! Feeling the love & keen to share the love more - who likes the idea of more giveaways? Keeping warm in my @indian.summer.co knit it’s a fave!

09.01.2022 Cause for celebration... after high school & then uni I thought my days of making new friends were basically over. Where would I find new friends I thought? Answer is EVERYWHERE! Hannah came up to me at a @the_fe_collective event, introduced herself as Hannah & admittedly I didn’t know who she was because I knew her as @mayclay_ceramics (anyone else know people’s IG names & not their real name? So strange!) we had a little chat, she gave me the nicest warm hug & then 6 months... later we ran @redcollectiveco workshop together & now it’s not unusual if we call each other more than 3 times a week! It’s Hannah’s birthday today so send some love her way. This is my little love letter to you girl. Thanks for being brave & courageous in your creativity, for being kind & considerate no matter what, for feeding me amazing food that you just throw together & for being such a special human in my life to call friend. I love spending time at your house & being a casual part of the family. You are such a kind, brave, inspiring soul & I hope your birthday is full of people sending their love your way! happy birthday Han!! See more

08.01.2022 Today was a slow, long day! I went to the fridge a lot & spent the day doing something I’d never really done before but it wasn’t exciting. It was hard & I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right & it felt very outcome focused & I felt I had to impress people. I did not love that! But I did have some good little highlights in the day, like a crazy generous delivery from @gypsylaineliving & a call from my bff who I hadn’t spoken to for what felt like months & I rearranged my offic...e so I can have the sun shine on me when I work hopefully to inspire me as I’m going to have to work this weekend It important to change it up, discover & rediscover what you love & what you don’t. This life is more than just ticking boxes & earning money. It’s ok to feel a little down, or a little flat, or a little unmotivated me today. The sun will rise again & tomorrow we will try again. Explore what lights you up, what you love (or like), follow the breadcrumbs & your peace. Hope your weeks taught you something new x See more
