Is it too early to talk about Christmas? 🫣🎄

I know… we’ve only just reached September, but behind the scenes, I’ve already started planning this year’s Christmas magic at the studio. ✨

And this year, I have two very different Christmas styles in mind.

So before I show you anything… I want to know:

What does your perfect Christmas setting look like? Leave a comment below: ⤵️

🎄 Warm, cosy & traditional
🤍 Light, elegant & dreamy

I’m curious to see which one wins… 👀

From bump to one… what a beautiful journey!

I first met this little guy when he was still safely tucked away in his mummy’s tummy and now here we are, celebrating his very first birthday! 🥹

He has grown into such a curious, bright and wonderfully open little boy. He was fascinated by everything around him… although I think my camera was definitely his favourite part of the session! 📷💙

Watching little ones grow and being trusted to capture these precious milestones is one of the most beautiful parts of what I do.

Happy 1st Birthday, little one! 🎂✨

✨ One year of magic ✨

It feels like only yesterday that the news of her arrival brought so much joy… and now somehow, this little princess is already celebrating her very first birthday! 🤍

She absolutely sparkled in front of my camera, looking like a little fairytale princess in her beautiful, dreamy dress. 👑✨

Out of respect for her parents’ wishes, I’m not able to share a full image of her, but I simply couldn’t resist showing you a little glimpse of the beautiful setup and the magical atmosphere we created for her first birthday session. 🩷

One whole year of tiny milestones, precious smiles and unforgettable moments, what a privilege it is to capture these special chapters.

Happy 1st Birthday, little princess! 🩷🎂

After a few beautiful weeks spent in Hungary, my holiday has come to an end. Today is my last day here before heading back to the UK and I have to admit, it’s never easy to say goodbye to the places, people and little moments that make you feel at home. 🇭🇺❤️

This time, I wanted to slow down a little and simply enjoy being present. There was fishing with my friends in Szerencs, spending time with family in Kunhegyes, relaxing by the water in Siófok and wandering through Budapest without having to rush anywhere.

And of course, being a photographer means that even during a holiday, I can never completely put the camera away. 📸 Some moments simply ask to be captured from the views over Budapest from the Citadella to the atmosphere of Siófok and a rather fun pirate-style boat on the lake. 🌊

Today, August 20th, is also a special day in Hungary as we celebrate the founding of the Hungarian state. It feels quite fitting to spend my final holiday day here, surrounded by a little bit of the history, landscapes and atmosphere that always remind me why this country means so much to me. 🇭🇺

Now it’s time to pack the memories away, head back to the UK and, after a proper break, get back behind the camera.

Thank you, Hungary, for another beautiful chapter. ❤️🤍💚
See you again soon.

🤍 A little admin update 🤍

I’m currently enjoying a little holiday, so things are moving a little slower than usual behind the scenes. Thank you so much for your patience and understanding! ✨

I’ve now sent out all remaining galleries and invoices. If you have an outstanding invoice, I’d really appreciate it if you could take a moment to get it settled. 💌

I’m doing my best to keep everything organised while I’m away, so having all outstanding invoices cleared would be a huge help.

Thank you, as always, for your support, patience and understanding! 🤍

Holiday Mode: ON 🇭🇺

It’s that time of year again…

For the next couple of weeks, I’ll be taking my annual summer break and heading home to Hungary to spend some much-needed quality time with family and friends.

I’m looking forward to everything that makes summer feel like home: days by Lake Balaton, concerts, beach days, plenty of laughter, and of course… a proper Hungarian lángos! ☀️🌊💛

Time to slow down, recharge and make special memories with the people I love before another busy season begins.

Although I’m officially on holiday, I’ll still check my emails and messages from time to time, so if you’d like to enquire about a future session, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. Replies may just take a little longer than usual.

I’ll also be sharing a few little moments from our adventures in Hungary over the next couple of weeks, and I hope you’ll enjoy following along. 🇭🇺☀️

Thank you so much for all your continued support, I can’t wait to be back behind the camera creating more beautiful memories for your families.

See you soon! 🤍

This little gentleman will be starting school this September and I feel so honoured to have captured this special milestone for his family. He was an absolute star in front of the camera!

I’m opening my second Off to Big School Mini Session at the end of August. Spaces are limited, so if your little one is getting ready for their very first day at school, now is the perfect time to create memories you’ll treasure forever.

HOLIDAY ANNOUNCEMENT

☀️ Annual Summer Break

Every year I take a couple of weeks away to recharge, spend time with my family and come back full of fresh inspiration.

This year I’ll be taking a break from

🌿 A weekend exploring Dorset

A couple of weeks ago, we escaped to one of our favourite parts of the South Coast for a little family adventure with friends.

As you might have guessed… our friends are photographers too, so of course a photographers’ trip wouldn’t be complete without taking plenty of photos of each other! 🥹 But I still prefer to be behind the camera rather than front off.

Kimmeridge Bay, Dancing Ledge and Durdle Door welcomed us with a blanket of sea mist. While some might have been disappointed by the weather, we absolutely loved it. The mist created such a magical, atmospheric backdrop that made every location feel even more special.

And the best part? The light was so beautiful that many of the images needed very little editing afterwards.

Thankfully, the sunshine joined us for the rest of our trip.

One of my favourite discoveries was Tyneham Village, a peaceful place full of history. If you’re ever visiting Dorset, I’d highly recommend taking the short walk down to Worbarrow Bay. It was definitely one of the hidden gems of our weekend.

We finished our little getaway with an afternoon in Sandbanks, the perfect ending to two wonderful days.

Dorset never disappoints. 🤍

Have you visited any of these places?
