25.01.2022 To record our stories in words and images is so incredibly important. To have this kind of gift to pass on to our young ones, especially if we don’t get the opportunity to see them grow up, is one of the greatest treasures we can leave them with. Pick up a pen today, dust off your camera and spend some time documenting your life. Preserve your stories, the real stuff, the quirks, the hard times, the joys. Each piece is part of your story and it’s one that matters. Record it for those you love. Image of beautiful mumma Rach who left this world too soon. She was full of so much joy and hope until the very last day. I do what I do because of incredible souls like her. Being able to capture these kind of stories that I know will hold a place in a families heart forever is worth everything to me.

11.01.2022 Hello from me and a little about myself & Frames of Hope

01.01.2022 "My first two pregnancies were very straightforward and uncomplicated. I was blissfully unaware of how hard it could all be. I fell pregnant again when our second, Rory, was 1. We lost Orion at 16 weeks and because I was so far along I gave birth to him in the hospital. By some cruel joke they get you to do this in the maternity suite surrounded by all the new Mums and fresh babies. Holding my tiny 16 week old baby boy in the palm of my hand is something I will never forget. ...Unsurprisingly I was a mess after this. I suffered really bad anxiety (although I wouldn’t recognise that this is what it was until almost a year later) I also was doing a pretty poor job of looking after my physical body. I think in some ways I blamed my body for failing and so didn’t feel like I deserved to look after myself or maybe I just didn’t care." "About 8 months later I fell pregnant again but we lost again at about 10 weeks. I remember coming out of that ultrasound so confused about how this could be happening again. The very next cycle we fell pregnant again and lost this baby too at around the 10 week mark. At this point we gave up. At the time I thought this might be forever. I needed to take ‘having a third child’ completely out of our plans so that I could focus on making myself happy again. I was pretty lost at this point. So much of my life, even my work, revolves around babies and pregnancy and mothers there was no escaping all the reminders. At the time this was excruciating but in hindsight I think it was actually helpful. It meant I had to really face all my feelings about losing our babies and I couldn’t just dive into my work and hide from the grief."
