I didn’t do ANYTHING yesterday. I needed a rest of epic zen-like proportions and it felt so good. The batteries were in dire need of a recharge 😰⠀ ⠀ I’m getting much better at doing nothing, the older I get. Does anyone else find they’re getting better at it? ⠀ ⠀ On a more exciting note, you’re never going to believe what I’m doing tomorrow. I may not even sleep tonight - it’s THAT BIG 😬 ⠀ I’m only going to The Antiques Roadshow!!!! 💃💃💃💃 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃⠀ ⠀ My favourite programme of all time (obvs apart from Game of Thrones and Blade Runner) ⠀ ⠀ It’s coming to Salisbury!! This is like my birthday and Christmas all at once. Just without presents. Or cake. ⠀ ⠀ I KNOW you all wish you were coming along too. I will try and take some pictures to show you what’s going on!! ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀
Miraculously I’ve made it to the end of my epic week, and somehow (only just) - the brain is still intact💪⠀ ⠀ I’m now going to take about 423 weeks of holiday so that I can remember my name. (More in my stories)⠀ ⁣⠀ The deliciousness of coming home is an unrivalled joy!! Wishing you all a heavenly Saturday 🌿 ✨Xxx
I’ve just dodged my 500th rain shower of the day 💦 but hooray 💃 I’m shooting indoors for once! I'm photographing a lot of my old fashioned black and white portraits this week and I absolutely ADORE doing them! ⠀ ⠀ They're so interesting to do as I really get to connect with the children in a completely different way than I do in my family shoots. I have to direct them into this very peaceful and open mood - often only in a matter of minutes - and it’s a fascinating process. ⠀ ⁣⠀ I have more dates coming up soon at my studio in London so if you're interested in finding out more just send me a DM or message me below and I’ll send you the details! Xx⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
I'm working in London for a lot of this week (which is unusual - I'm usually there for no more than 2 days). ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ I love stepping out of the slow lane and whizzing around town, packing everything in so that I can then get back to sleepy Dorset. I’ve got 13 shoots, 4 meetings, a trip to my framers to design a couple of large salon hangs, friends for lunch, 2 dinners and a speaking gig at the Elevate branding event run by @notaboutthekids and @antoniataylorpr on Friday. ⠀ ⠀ After that I think I’ll deserve a cup of tea ☕️ and a biscuit 🍪 ⠀ ⠀ Hope you all have a good week loves Xx
Another image of my lovely friend Sarah @justtwenteen from a recent personal branding shoot we did in Notting Hill.⠀ ⠀ I know these types of shots of fairly generic, but when you really think about it, isn’t it amazing that so many of us can work from wherever we want, and create a life and job that we love? It’s such a huge privilege, and something that I appreciate every single day.⠀ ⠀ I raise my hat 💪 to all you creatives, entrepreneurs and small business owners who are making this happen, building the creative economy 🙌 and creating a force for good ⚡️Together we really are stronger!
**RUSH HOUR**⁣ in Dorset. Coping with this kind of high octane life is pretty tough at times 😂⠀ ⁣⠀ ✨What are you up to today loves? We're mainly chilling 🌿 although I’m shortly heading off to take some photos 📸 at my lovely friend @melaniewarddesign printmaking workshop. She has such a talent for beautiful designs and I know it’s going to be wonderful.⠀ ⠀ Then it’s back home for a roast with delicious local 🐓 and a few tatties in goose fat. ⠀ ⠀ And - if we’re really going to live our best life - The Antiques Roadshow 💪✔️🙏 Admit it, you know I’m right!! ⠀ ⁣⠀ Happy snoozy Sunday loves!⁣⠀ ⁣⠀ ⁣⠀
