Oops I did it again - I was having such fun looking at all your beautiful posts, I didn’t post for weeks. I’m realising that I may always just be a casual poster - a couple here and there, a few weeks off - but it doesn’t mean I love it any less 😌 Life is just quite busy at the mo (in a good way). Zoom in to see the name on the gate - that’s what you are, my lovelies - just because I don’t post doesn’t mean I’m not here and loving seeing everything you’re up to. To all my intrepid brave Insta friends - here’s to a fabulous week!
Did you work this weekend? I’m right in the thick of it at the moment, working all week and most weekends - yesterday I photographed 15 portraits. I love what I do, but I am also hugely looking forward to my quieter season in January. Until then it’s all systems go 🏃‍♀️📷🖥 Who else works weekends? 🙌
“Don’t underestimate the value of doing nothing”. Pooh Bear. • • • A lusciously lazy Sunday - the perfect kind. There was a cheeky 🍺 pub lunch, a spot of taxi duty 🚖 for mummy, closely followed by a long stint in jammies by the 🔥fire with a warm bowl of chicken soup. • • • After a hectic week I need nothing more than this. Hope your Sunday gave you everything you needed, and more 😊
Who’s enjoying this gorgeous sunny weather?! Could it be more beautiful? • • • Sadly I’m not outside for much of today - it’s an office day for me, editing last weekend’s shoots, doing a test shoot for a project later this week, and plenty of admin 📝 • • • Happy to be busy and rather enjoying the sun flooding into my office and slowly creeping around the room. What are you up to this sunny Tuesday arvo?
Can’t think of a more beautiful thought to start my Sunday morning. Hope you loves have a wonderful day full of happiness and joy, wherever you are.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’d love to start work every day at 9am, but by the time I’ve done the school run, walked this goofball, tidied the house, and done the other 23 jobs that magically appear every morning, it’s usually closer to 10.30. On a good day ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is my photography business. This is the life of a Mum who works from home. Over the last 20 years of being a photographer I have occasionally had an office/ studio but In the main, I’ve worked from home, and I love it. I am an introvert and I love the peace and quiet ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do you work from home? Do you have any tips to make it all run smoothly (PS I am a night owl, so no point telling me to get up early to do the housework) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Recently I’ve been leaving my phone 📱in another room whilst writing/ editing etc. It’s not rocket science, but it certainly helps to stop the dreaded mindless faffing on the internet thingummy • • Give me a tip that helps you! 📝💡
