🔆Sun-Soaked Days, and Holiday Moments
August has been a bright and busy month for many – full of family holidays, long-awaited trips, and making the most of the sunshine. The warm weather has been beautiful, but the heart has also been intense at times, especially with those who may not cope so well in such hot temperatures. I hope everyone has been taking care of themselves during these hotter spells.
✨Summer Sessions Available
My usual packages are available throughout the rest of August, with plenty of opportunities for relaxed outdoor sessions while the evenings are still warm. With the heatwave continuing, I’m keeping sessions flexible so families, pets and horses can stay comfortable – choosing cooler times of day and shaded locations wherever possible.
Some of these packages may also be available at a discounted price for the remainder of August. If you’d like to know more, keep reading – the offer is explained further down in this month’s blog.
📸 Model Call – Late Summer Opportunity Â
I’m opening a small number of late-summer model call spaces for families, pets, and horses who would love some relaxed, natural photographs. These sessions help me refresh my portfolio for the upcoming season, and they’re perfect for anyone who enjoys calm, connection-focused photography.
Model Call Sessions Are:
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Free of charge
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Flexible, short and relaxed
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Ideal for children, dogs, or horses who prefer gentle, unhurried environments.
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â A great way to experience my style before booking a full session
If you’d like to take part, you’re welcome to get in touch – I’d love to hear from you.
🌿 Freebies- New Ones Being Added
This month I’ve been adding a few more helpful freebies to the website – little guides designed to make planning your session feel simple and reassuring.
You’ll find everything gathered in one place, including:
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â What-to-wear guidance
-Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Tips for helping children feel relaxed

These resources are there to support you long before your session say arrives, and I’ll continue adding more over the coming weeks.

🤝 Community Connections
August brought a lovely change of pace – I stepped in front of the camera for once.
A local photographer was offering a handful of discounted sessions to help expand one of their packages, and I was lucky enough to get booked in. It was a lovely chance to support a fellow creative, and spend some time in front of the camera with my own horse – a nice change from being behind it.
The photographs I received are truly beautiful, but I won’t be sharing them on my photography page, as they were taken by another photographer and aren’t part of my own portfolio work. The experience itself was wonderful, though, and a reminder of how meaningful these moments can be from both sides of the lens.
💬 Kind Words
I always appreciate hearing how people feel after their sessions – your feedback helps others understand what a relaxed, natural experience with me is really like. If you’d like to leave a review, you’re welcome to send it by message or email, or post in on Facebook or Google. I simply ask that reviews avoid using children’s names – I’ll adjust them if needed to keep everything confidential.
Opening Times
With the summer holidays now in full flow, sessions continue to be available by appointment throughout August. I'm keeping things flexible so families, pets, and horses can stay comfortable during the hotter weather, with the possibility of cooler mornings and early-evenings slots offered where possible.
