Could I have predicted returning to Nikki and Greg's garden 7 years after their wedding with 3 adorable children? I'm not sure, but all I could think of during our shoot is how I needed this afternoon.

I needed to be reminded how important it is to take photos. To time stamp where we are in the journey.

I needed to be reminded how the important things are simple things, like picking daisies, hitting golf balls in the garden and spotting monkeys in the trees.

I needed to be reminded of the fragility of life, and that all we have is today, and that we should savour all the particularly good things like you'd savour a sweet from the sweet jar.

Darling Piper, Frankie and Sullivan, what utterly delightful children you all are. Piper, with your magnificent smile and enquring nature, you can be my photography assistant anytime. Frankie, your infectious laugh and joy for the sweet things in life will make you the life of the party one day I can just tell. Sully, I can see you have a strength in you like no other kid I have ever met. And gosh, what LOVE surrounds you, sweet boy.

Nikki and Greg, I'm so proud of you and it was an honour to capture this slice of time in your lives. Thank you ❤️

This photography business is a funny one. It makes very little economic sense, especially the way I run it. This is a heart-led operation and I 100% need God to help me run it.

As you may know, I decided photography was no longer for me some years back. I looked down every alley to find another way to be financially secure, but alas, nothing really clicked. But slowly, as I emerged from a slurry of sleep deprivation, bodily fluids, and square eyes from internet scuba diving, I came back laden with insecurity, but with a deep desire to be intentionally purposeful.

I have a daily battle with anxiety. And truth be told, this occupation does precisely diddly squat for my adrenals. It was another reason I wanted to give it up. If you see me in my car before a shoot and it looks like I'm talking to myself, well I might be but I'm most likely praying my camera still works and that God magically gives me good ideas. And He does every time.

It ain't me, its all Him.

And the more I surrender the details, the more I am amazed at the coincidences.

At this stage of my life my only prerogative is to serve, and reflect the light I rely on. I am a wildly imperfect vessel, but I'm trying. As long as I am given the tools to do it, I'll keep serving in the hopes that I am purposeful and that I bring some kind of light to the party.

So I got caught in traffic this morning and took the opportunity to have a car party when this song came on. And while I was jubilantly jamming (apparently I look like I'm having a fit when this happens, and yes it happens fairly frequently and yes my kids always follow suit and yes all three of us look positively loony - c'est la vie!) I thought about some rock stars in my life and this magnificent lass came to mind. Morgan of - it is a marvel what you are doing for local business in the Midlands and beyond. You make all the businesses you work with look soooooo much cooler on the socials. And you know what works. And you're a genuinely lovely human. And you make my photos look amazing 👏🏻

So, if you are a business and you need to up your game when it comes how you look visually online, you best contact 👌🏻

Mid-shoot, it suddenly dawned on me that I not only captured this milestone but also their wedding and another family shoot. Take that in for a second. They've trusted me 3 times with capturing truly important and special points in their lives. Shan and James, I am so honored to have played a part in these key moments, and I'm SO proud of the parents you have become. That term might feel new and weird right now, but wow, the little I have witnessed - guys you are nailing it! Hartley is beyond perfect. Thank you for trusting me once again ❤️

The Cooke family ❤️ Sublime afternoon light never looked so good 👌🏻 what an utterly delightful family! These boys remind me so much of my own boys. Highlight of the shoot was watching these little guys climb a tree for the first time - its not really a thing in Hong Kong! Thank you for choosing me, Kerri! X

Darling Dean, you really stole my heart...Ok ok I know what youre thinking, sweet little 1 week old Alex with all her newborn tinyness and shock of dark hair and perfect little doll face should be the star of the show, and really she was and is but the newborn stage is just eat sleep p**p on repeat.

Dean and his oil painting GSP pooch were particularly endearing in this happy session. Never have I seen a GSP so well behaved (I'm looking at you Sherlock - future baby daddy to this magnificent hound 🤞🏻 get it together bru!) and never have I seen a toddler quite so excited to pick up dog poo with his dad.

But what really hit my heart, when little Dean wasn't carefully giving his baby sister gentle 'kussies', was the most beautifully designed poster illustrating the meaning of Dean's name.

The name Dean implies honesty, uprightness, justice, honourableness, truthfulness, and fairness. I believe men of this caliber are and will be vital in this crazy world, and I have no doubt Willie and Anks will do an incredible job of raising Dean to embody his name and so many more wonderful qualities.

Same for Alexandra, whose name means protector of humanity. I really love these names and meanings.

Thank you Anks and Willie for trusting me to capture a slice of this precious time in your lives! Here's to many more future fireside chats about self-embalming monks and the like 🤣
