A Little Life Update | Busy Weddings, Corporate Photography & Back to School

3 days ago
3 min read

It's been a little while since I've sat down to write a blog post, and I thought it was about time I popped back in with a little update!

The past few weeks have been busy, both behind the camera and at home, and as often happens, the days have just seemed to fly by.



Busy wedding days and lovely couples

It's been a busy time photographing weddings, and I've been lucky enough to spend time with some wonderful couples and their families.

Every wedding is different, and that's one of the things I love most about what I do. From the little details and emotional moments to the laughter, family photographs and unexpected things that happen throughout the day, there's always a story to tell.

I've also been spending plenty of time editing galleries and getting those memories back to the couples who have trusted me to photograph their special day.

I can't wait to share more of these weddings with you over the coming weeks!



Corporate photography has been keeping me busy too

Alongside weddings, corporate photography has also been keeping me on my toes.

It's always lovely working with businesses and organisations, whether that's photographing events, capturing important moments or creating a collection of images that can be used across their websites and marketing.

I really enjoy the variety that comes with this side of my work. One day can look completely different from the next, and I love meeting new people and seeing what different businesses are doing.

If you're planning an event, awards evening, conference or need some fresh photography for your business, I'd love to hear from you.



And just like that… the girls are back at school!

Away from photography, we've been getting back into the school routine.

The summer seems to have gone by in a flash, and now the girls are back at school. One of the biggest changes for us this year is that one of our girls has started high school!

It's a big milestone, and one of those moments that makes you stop and wonder where the time has gone.

Between school runs, work, family life and everything else, it's been a bit of a whirlwind — but we're settling back into our routine.



Christmas shoots are in the planning!

I know, I know… Christmas already! 🎄

I'm currently busy planning this year's Christmas photography sessions, and I'm really excited about what I'm hoping to put together.

I'm looking at venues and getting all the little details organised, so there's still a bit of planning to do before I can share everything properly.

I'm hoping to have some lovely festive sessions ready for families, and I can't wait to tell you more.

Keep your eyes peeled — more details coming soon!



Back behind the camera and looking ahead

It's been a busy, lovely and slightly chaotic few weeks, but I'm looking forward to sharing more of what I've been up to.

There are weddings to show you, corporate events to share, and plenty of exciting things being planned behind the scenes.

Thank you, as always, for following along, supporting my little business, and trusting me to capture your memories.

Here's to the next few weeks — and hopefully a little more time to keep this blog updated!
