At night it all lights up so lovely for us too xx

Guys a lot of you helped a family friend with helping her fight her cancer last year, sadly it’s returned and they are desperate for help. I will organise a shoot where i donate the cost of a shoot or something it’s new so i want to think on how to help the most, but something soon. For now as a mum that can’t comprehend the complexities of cancer of their child a second time let alone the first huge battle x i know it is difficult but we have known, grown up with her family since i was small and they are amazing people. Dixie is the most phenomenal, strongest warrior girl and needs this as do her siblings and family and to get her as much help for them as possible. Please help if you can x this time is going to be a bigger battle so everything will make a difference. x x x

We’re reaching out with heavy hearts to support our dear friend and their family during an incredibly diffic… Natasha rey needs your support for Dixie’s Fight

Make memories ! we chose bluebells to be our yearly way of tracking his development same place every time xx make your own memories or ask me xx they were early this year but still out and more coming x

📸 going to check the bluebell woods tomorrow and scout out a new location for this year and i should be doing mini shoots very soon!! I will update you asap as i want to find somewhere more private to usual. If you are on the list i will message you first! I am still booking in everyone in my inbox so i am up to date before booking more sessions unless you have a voucher on all shoots. I’m emailing daily where i can during school holidays, by monday i’m going to work full time next week to catch up
‼️Due to current cost of living crisis as i revised my pricing before the world went mad I will be REDUCING some prices back to last years offers where I can. The new services are cheaper than the old equivalents anyway but will update everyone sunday. I want you to make memories xx I have added mini shoots to many of my sessions anyway to make it more affordable this year but the birthday offer will be back to £199 from monday. xx

Coming soon…. the bluebell session! 2 locations, potentially a 3rd southend one for this year!! Thundersley and Brentwood … stunning private areas for mini shoots ! I’ll go check the situation this weekend and can then work out when will be best. Not sure why people are booking yet! the english weather changed everything ! for me, they need to be out a while or you don’t get that carpet of purple. Also if you didn’t know you are not allowed stand on the bluebells as protected so i choose idyllic places where we can respect nature. I have paths and logs that i can use, broken tree trunks to give illusion of being nestled within (not an example in pic ! just my son) because they are so protected. If you see people marching through or photos in a protected area it’s just wrong. I have my paths my areas and will also add some sparkle. I can add the magic of butterflies and flower frames! i take a list and when they are at their nest i book in mini sessions. Too little or too late it’s just not as perfect x send me a message tomorrow if you need a weekend date and which location xx At present i think it will be a few weeks yet but i’ll go check fri and let you know!!
