Maternity shoots are always pretty special.

Capturing the miracle of growing a human will always be such a privilege.

My youngest, Cora turned 2 this week and I've spent some time looking back over my own maternity photos this week (⤴️ this isn't me, just for the record) Looking back at them brought back all those memories of how it felt to not know who she really was, what she would be like and left me feeling a bit bittersweet about the fact that I don't think I'll ever grow another baby.

I'm so glad I got maternity photos, they become more special and precious the older my kids get.

If you fancy your own maternity photos, I'd love to help you capture this incredible part of your parenting journey.

I currently feel like I'm hanging over the edge of a precipice just waiting for the drop.

Anyone else?

Usually September feels like the start of a new year for me but I'm just not feeling like that this year.

Somehow it all feels a bit like a lot is hanging in the balance and I'm feeling a bit unsure and unsettled with it all.

Big changes are afoot for us all as a family, probably the biggest one being my eldest going to high school but there's a lot of other stuff going on as well behind the scenes which I can't really share much of yet.

I also have a HUGE (I mean absolutely massive!) to do list coming out of the back of the summer holidays, which I can't wait to get stuck into but also that feels a bit overwhelming too.

I don't know, hopefully it will all just slot into place, I suppose only time will tell.

Any other parents of new high schoolers out there? Or even primary school starters? How are you all feeling?

Breastfeeding changed my life.

Seriously though, it did.

I carried around immense amounts of guilt and grief when I gave up breastfeeding my eldest. I had so desperately wanted to do it and couldn't because I didn't know where to get the right help. It ate away at me for the next 6 years.

And then I had Noah, and feeding him was a breeze. I felt this huge weight lift off my shoulders, it wasn't me that failed, I was failed by the people I thought were helping. They weren't.

And then from that I discovered FAB, and I started to offer breastfeeding shoots and my whole world looks completely different. Breastfeeding Noah lit a passion inside me I didn't even know I was capable of.

I adore breastfeeding shoots because I absolutely love capturing you doing this incredible, undescribable, amazing thing for your baby, and I know that there is just nothing in the world like it, no matter what the journey to get there looked like for you.

I don't think I'll ever tire of capturing these precious moments.

Breastfeeding can be so complicated and hard, there can be obstacles that fall in your way that you never expected, and it can feel like it's never going to work.

I've met so many absolutely incredible mums who all overcame obstacles and battles to be able to successfully feed their babies, and honestly I am just so bloody honoured to be able to capture these incredible moments for them.

This one I think might just be one of my all time favourites 😍

And from every breastfeeding shoot I donate a portion of the fee to who do incredible work supporting and helping breastfeeding mums.

Drop me a message if you fancy your own breastfeeding shoot to celebrate your journey (naked in the woods is optional 😉) and what better time to book than World Breastfeeding Week!

Getting to see tiny babies grow is awesome!

This one turns 1 today and I got the absolute privilege of meeting her in those very early days of her life to capture her tiny little fingers and toes, her beautiful little newborn creases and rolls, her fluffy little shoulders and her general newborn deliciousness.

And then a few weeks ago she was at a party we were at and I took a few more photos of her sat in the beautiful golden hour light.

I could look at her face ALL day long!

Getting messages like this made all the logistical planning and organising worth it.....

"I am beyond proud of myself that I did it, I never thought it would be something I would do so I've surprised myself! And I couldn't have done it and enjoyed it so much if yourself and the team hadn't been so friendly and welcoming, putting me at ease instantly. Did not feel vulnerable at all, which is a crazy thing to say when I was naked in the woods!"

"I was so nervous before the shoot but I’m so glad I did it I had a blast!"

"I still can’t believe I was more bothered about having my feet in the water rather than my b***s out. It was so liberating!"

"The whole experience was so fantastic. I'm still on a high from it!"

"I didn't feel exposed at all, I felt so comfortable and like I said I think that was a lot to do with how you are as a person"

I honestly never expected the shoot to turn out to be something that left everyone feeling so empowered, and for it to make me quite so emotional, but that's exactly what it did.

And I want to do more of it for more people. Everyone should feel like this at some point.

So who else wants to come and get naked in the woods for some photos? Open to absolutely anyone and everyone, let me know in the comments if you'd be interested. I already have a few names down on a waiting list.

The best shoot of my life!

There I said it.

This shoot was absolutely something else.

What started out as a little flicker of an idea well over a year ago finally came to life in May of this year, and honestly it was everything I dreamed, and then some.

The women who trusted me to take their photos naked in the woods, despite never meeting me, absolutely blew me away with their bravery, but also with their unique stories, their determination and their passion for supporting

The photos from the shoot will be made into a calendar for along with quotes about breastfeeding and their journeys from these phenomenal women.

It's gonna be brilliant.

Today I got a text from my childminder (and good friend) asking if I was on a shoot.

I told her I wasn't it was an admin day and asked her why.

She said that Noah had told her that he wanted me, so she told him I was working.

He replied "I know, she's taking pictures of someone else's bo***es"

🤣 He knows me so well.

If you want me to take pictures of your bo***es then I'd be happy to, just drop me a DM and we can chat.

Happy Birthday to Me! ♈🥂

I don't have anything super profound to say, mostly just things along the lines of "how am I 35 already?" and "when did I start to look that old?".

My boys spoiled me with two presents they knew I really wanted that made sure he bought before he went away.

I've spent a few hours in Barter Books browsing and having lunch, a walk round Alnwick Castle, an hour playing in the park with my boys and then a sunset beach walk to the bar with my mate for a birthday beer.

About to go open the prosecco now before an early night because, you know, I'm old and a mum of 3!

Bring on 35, I think I'm ready for it.
