🍾 HAPPY NEW YEAR ✨
As I look back on 2025, this post feels like a small but meaningful pause to reflect on a year that held a lot of work, a lot of growth, and a lot of gratitude. Most of these photos were taken in and around Banbury and the Cotswolds, while photographing weddings, families, personal brands and professional headshots for some truly lovely people. This year was not without its health challenges for me, which makes simply getting through it and continuing to do this job I love feel especially significant. Being able to show up for my clients, create work I am proud of, and keep building my photography business through it all is something I don’t take for granted. Thank you to each and every client who has booked me, and especially to those who have taken the time (I know we are all so busy and our attention is in so many places) to write lovely kind reviews to help me reach even more people via searches. It means so much – THANK YOU!
I realised this year that, much like in life in general, I like simple, authentic things. When I started photography, I took much more heavily posed, “epic” kind of photos, that were beautiful maybe, but weren’t natural moments at all. Nowadays, as I changed as a person too, I prefer to focus much more on general prompts and simpler guidance (if any at all) and I think you can tell that my top 10 are all either completely candid moments, or very loose prompts with the subjects doing a natural action instead of holding one careful pose. It’s not as immediately showstopping, perhaps… but that’s my view of life, reflected in my work, I think. The quieter, but truer, moments. I hope the photos will resonate as such with some of you reading this.
