21.01.2022 I get the guilts...you know the guilts...they come in all shapes, sizes and forms. The social media guilt I get is that I’m a business woman and so I should be showing more client work and less personal work. I should be running my media like a business account. But let me level with you...there ain’t all that much happening in old business land. Perhaps I should market more, or hustle, maybe I should show more client work and less personal work so I trick you into thinkin...g I’m a total badass in demand chick. But I’m not. This isn’t a pity post, I’m just really on board with vulnerability and reality. (Although if you were on the fence about getting in the frame with your family and you’d like to see me do a happy dance then by all means message me and let’s book something in!) Oh look, a call to action...perhaps I’m more of a business woman than I realised.

27.12.2021 Oh I remember that delicious feeling of baby kneading while breastfeeding. When they still feel like they are a part of you. Sometimes I really miss breastfeeding. I stopped abruptly, almost violently, when my youngest was 5 1/2 months old. We were in hospital and I was desperately trying to piece myself back together after post natal depression and the wrong medication shattered me into a thousand tiny pieces. I made a choice, out of fear and desperation and love and a deep, deep desire to be a better mother and human. And I don't regret the decision, because the decisions I made while in hospital started me down a path of slow recovery. But I do miss it.

12.12.2021 Three! Three!!!!! Three is adorable, funny and demanding. Frighteningly smart, diabolically cheeky and terrifyingly adventurous. Three showers you with compliments and says "I love you" at least 20 times a day, if not more. Three is awesome. Happy birthday darling girl.

25.11.2021 There's a reason they're called the mental lentils...

17.11.2021 Pretty soon I'm going to get a phone call, the best kind of phone call...the one to say "I'm in labour" or at the very least a text message that says "I think I'm in labour". And then with excitement and a beautiful sense of anticipation I'll start to prepare, to plan and when the time is right to make my way to a goddess in labour. And I'll quietly observe, I'll hold space, I'll document her grace and strength, her tears and laughter and the team around her supporting and lifting her up as she births her baby. I'll pinch myself, that this woman and her husband have invited me to be a witness to the moment they become a family of five. As if this isn't the best job in the whole wide world.

14.11.2021 Couldn't be sassier if she tried. Also, man do the school days take it out of her (and all of us). So much tired, so much boundary pushing, so much yelling and all the emotions. Lucky she still seeks comfort in cuddles and most things can diffused with kind words and a little space, a nice quiet bath or chilling in front of the TV (obviously).

01.11.2021 Sometimes I see beautiful light as an invitation to play. Sometimes I see it and I am happy just to notice it. Other times I don't notice it at all. If I've learned anything in my few short years as a parent it's that nothing stays the same. Everything passes, everything changes. The images I make together with my daughter now bear little resemblance to the images I made of her as a toddler. And they no doubt bear little resemblance to the images we will make together in the years to come. Everything changes, everything passes...I find comfort in this knowledge.

15.10.2021 A little more floating goodness from this gorgeous pregnancy goddess. Seriously can't get enough of this. I'm going to be lucky enough to photograph her birth in a month or so and I CANNOT WAIT!!!

05.10.2021 Floating. Dreaming. Nurturing her growing babe. With a side dish of ignoring her two other crazy kids splashing in the water just out of sight because, well, motherhood. Gotta take those moments of serenity when they arise.

21.09.2021 Ok so maybe I bought the splash mat for the photographic opportunities. And maybe I positioned it to capture the afternoon sun. But the joy is 100% not manufactured. Also, home photography session don't have to be just inside. There's plenty of fun to be had exploring both inside AND outside.

13.09.2021 It's Friday people! Jump into your weekend with alllll the enthusiasm you can muster and do something fun!

29.08.2021 It can't always be serious around these parts! Enjoy this visual representation of what parenting this firecracker of a two year old currently feels like. Parents of toddlers...we stand with you.
