Being at home a little more lately means I’ve had some time to spend with my plants again, sprucing them up and giving them a little love. A few of them were a bit worse for wear with all the heating, dry air, draughts and a little general neglect 🙈 I find it so calming to gently potter around the house and tend to all my plant babies. I’m aiming to go full on #jungalow in this room, taming all the hanging plants around the walls and ceiling as they grow. It just makes me so happy seeing all that green! 🌿 I’ve been taking some more cuttings so I can spread the jungle love even more throughout the rest of the house. I’m at 75 plants and counting 🌿🌿🌿 perhaps I’ll host a plant swap at my place in the Spring?!
Ah Monday... ☕️ since I only get two proper work mornings a week when I have childcare, I always look forward to sitting down by myself with a cup of coffee and the chance to do some focused work. To think I used to get so much time like this, that I never fully appreciated. Now it costs me £6 an hour to get any time to myself! ✨ Only two more weeks left before I go on maternity leave, so I’m trying to wrap up all my edits, emails and a few other bits before I take a little break. First job of the morning is to send some little prints out to my clients, a gift from me to them to show how much I appreciate the wonderful people I get to work with. 🌿 What’s on your to do list this morning? I hope you have a good day and get to stay out of the rain, it’s grim out there!
Cosy Saturdays at home with my girl 🌿 seven more weeks, give or take, of just the two us so I’m trying to soak it up while I can. I suggested all kinds of things we could do today, but all she wanted to do was play with her toys, drink smoothies and watch Trapdoor. After a busy week of shoots I am all too happy to rest up, so I didn’t put up much of a fight. Touch wood, I even got a little bit of sleep last night so I’m feeling slightly human again. First time in 3 weeks I’ve not been lying awake until 3 or 4 am 😴 What are you up to today? Hope you have a lovely weekend! ✌🏻
One of my favourite photos I took in 2018. The beautiful @leatamae ✨ I’m wrapping up my last shoots this week before I go on maternity leave, and it’s so bittersweet. On one hand, I’m so tired and so ready to wind down and have some time to focus on resting, preparing for birth and a new baby. But on the other hand, I feel like I am producing some of the best work I’ve ever made, hanging with the best clients and in such a good place with my business and my creativity. i am so sad to be putting it to one side for a while, but I know how lucky I am to have a job that I feel that way about. Oh boy, I love my work and all the people I get to meet so very much. 🌿 I’ve done a lot of journaling over the past few months to take myself from a place of fear about leaving my work and having a new baby, to a place of readiness, openness and a trust in the process. I don’t have to know everything right now, how it’s all going to unfold and what this new chapter of my life will bring me. I am just going to step with faith into the unknown, move with the change and be open to all the lessons I’m about to learn. 🌙 Right now, I’m on my way into London to photograph one of my favourite families, there’s snow on the ground, change a foot and I feel at peace. Wishing you the same good vibes for your Wednesday, my friends ✌🏻
My sweet girl turned 3 last weekend, and with it we are happily finding our way out of the teething, nap dropping, sleep regressing fog of the last few months. Now she can make it through a whole day in a good mood, bedtimes have got easier again and crucially for me and my very pregnant body, they’ve got earlier too. It has been an intense phase of parenting, and one I am glad to be slowly making our way out of. So much of motherhood is about riding the waves of each phase, some which thrust you into survival mode where the aim is just to make it through the day as gracefully as you can. You always have to adapt and change and figure out a way to make the best of all of it. Some of it feels so wonderful and easy, and some of it feels so overwhelmingly hard. Now we are in full on magical 3 year old mode, and she marvels us daily with the things she says or does or understands. I keep referring to her as ‘my big girl’ and still can’t quite get my head around her soon not being my littlest anymore. I kinda want her to shout about dragons, have tea parties with her imaginary friend hippo and replace the end of every nursery rhyme line with “has a smelly bum” for ever and ever. Don’t grow up too fast, hey kiddo 💔
