Thoughts to everyone out there be it brides, grooms, or fellow wedding photographers/suppliers after yesterday’s announcement.
✨
Intimate and super special micro weddings will still mean that at the end of it you are married and after all isn’t that the most important part? I understand that’s easy for me to say as someone who eloped and treasured the private and romantic way in which we said our vows...
....just a suggestion if I may to those wedding planning at the moment. Plan ahead with gusto, plan ahead even with the knowledge that it could be your very closest and dearest only by your side. Have a back up party date #wednowpartylater if you wish to party hard and furiously with all the numbers that you can if your day gets downsized...or plan a cosy and intimate smaller wedding if that’s sounding more like your thing...but above all remember the reason that you both want to be married and that the only number needed for that is 2.
✨
I’m here as always to chat things over, change dates if you want to, allay any fears you may have, chat about your micro wedding plans or just have a rant! I have some dates left for 2021 but close to closing my diary for weddings next year so that I still know which way is up 🙃
Ps How cute are these guys on their engagement session?!

I may be giving the impression that I’ve lived at the beach this summer!
🤔
Well it would be a fair assumption! Most bags we own have sand at the bottom, the car always has a fine coating of sand on the mats, the swim shorts are always in the wash and I’ve made packing the bags for a beach trip an Olympic sport!
We’ve always been sensible however with our trips given the infection rates and visited at first light in the morning or just before sunset and always with the mindset that if things seemed too busy we would turn on our heels or leave early.
Throughout all this year’s challenges the beach has given me some headspace, so many memories with my boys and an appreciation that even though the world can be cruel, it’s also insanely beautiful too. Thanks to all that have shared beach memories with me too also this year, I’m hoping to carry on into Autumn with a few more trips in the this golden season’s sunshine!

Autumn definitely arrived on the beach last night

Autumn definitely arrived on the beach last night but we managed to document some sweet and treasured moments. Now is always a good time to capture moments with those you love.
I love getting you snuggled up and capturing the snuggly heartwarming core of the snuggles and huggles!
I’m ready for Autumn and cosy knits, all the spice and warm explosions in the trees.

I’m tired out this week, and the news is depressing, so here is something happy if like me you need a little something smiley and fun in your feed right now.

Just love a maternity silhouette!
☀️
Just a note on my ‘maternity leave’.
I’ll be totally truthful and admit that Covid has truly shafted my plans for a relaxed year next year! This baby was perfectly planned to perfection to arrive in wedding low season...and then suddenly everyone wanted to move their weddings to this autumn and next spring!
The reality is that next summer my family sessions will be extremely limited. If you want to ensure you get one then book in now, I’ll be offering Friday night and Sunday morning and night sessions mostly for these (Saturdays will be very weddalicious!!).
In the upcoming months there will be very limited newborn, family and maternity slots available each month as I continue to keep my hand in the business for my sanity (and let’s be truthful my bank balance! - thanks Covid!) so please, if you’re due a baby between December and March then book early. (November now fully booked, January only has two slots left).
I don’t want to forget how my camera works!! Like that could actually happen with a newborn about - expect baby spam central over here from November and I make no apologies!!

So what’s a Nan shot?! Sorry Nans... ...those of

So what’s a Nan shot?! Sorry Nans...
...those of you that have had a shoot with me may have heard me say ‘Nan shot’ and by that I mean a traditional, all looking at the camera preferably smiling shot. I aim to get one each session at least...it’s often the most challenging so with young children I try to tick it off first.
And then...we leave Nan shots, tradition, posing formally, welllll behind! It’s then time for playtime, the genuine heart tingly warm to your toes kind of giggles. The authenticity of these short moments of family life that you’ll want to feel and remember when you relive your galleries in your granny annexe...I’m just left wondering whether I’ll be asking for the ‘Nan shot’ one day!
Ps absolutely no offence meant to Nans, Grannies or Grandma intended I’m purely going off the experience of my own who thinks it’s not a professional photo unless everyone is deadpan to the camera, sitting primly and smiling.
Disclaimer: I take Nan shots for my Grandma, she loves them...plus my Nan asked me to book a professional photoshoot for my boys so she could have a photo of them with a white background 🤭😳 clearly the one I gave her wasn’t proffessional 😂🤷‍♀️

I’m done with this summer, give me all the autumn golden tones and take away the wasps please 😂 ...I don’t mind bees -they can stay but the wasps this year seem extra furious. Just me?!
🤷‍♀️
And whilst I’m pleading to Mother Nature can I also plea to @costacoffee and @starbucksuk that the time is surely now for the autumn spiced drinks please...you know we want them!!!
🤞🏻☕️🍁
On the plus side how dreamy is the light here again from #normantonchurch love me some late summer sunshine!!!

Hey cutie! This little lady really is adorable and she has the sweetest little character too!
🐎(white horse emoji please @apple) 💕👌🏻
I want to sit on a rocking horse and sway through the day too!...got too much adulting to do though so time for a coffee, an elevenses snack and to press on with edits! I’m child free today so making the most of the peace to crack on and so far it’s been fuelled by @rosemarinoramsey making me laugh my socks off at the #shaggedmarriedannoyed podcast, I highly recommend it for some giggle infested, spit your coffee out kinda listening but only when your little people’s ears are out!!

I’m having a baby so I’m allowed to get organised and you can forgive me the upcoming swear...
...the C word and NO not coronavirus as that’s fast becoming a swear word too but Christmas!

I’m taking a very select amount of Christmas bookings on the 13th December and if you want one you’d best book in quick!

The last summer... ...the last summer with a three

The last summer...
...the last summer with a three year old, little Ted turned into a not so little four years old this week and I’m feeling a tad emotional about all the changes! It’s the last summer of Austin being a key stage one child, the last summer with two boys and not three, the last snippets to be had of summer memories for this year and suddenly I don’t feel like I’ve soaked it up or enjoyed it like I should have! It’s been hard to ‘get out there’ and fully immerse in life this year hasn’t it? Or in stepping back from the days out and expensive trips have we had more time for the little things they actually remember and appreciate? I hope so...
...school tomorrow and I know I’m feeling way more nervous than my big little one!

I know so many of my midwife friends are struggling with wearing a mask all day or night and wanted to share this gem with anyone who feels their skin needs a boost! Or indeed anyone who just deserves a treat?! Ok so we are all forming an orderly queue right?!...
Check out this lovely place @skinandgloclinic in Stamford and you’ll feel pampered and glowing again!
Enjoying updating small business images for local companies around #peterboroughuk and would love to chat with you about your needs if your marketing and image needs a boost!

The best thing to wear is a smile!
I loved so many from this session, including this one!
I’m also enjoying these summer greens while they last... whilst also admitting to myself that the calling of autumn golds and crispy leaves followed by hot chocolates with an insanely unhealthy piling of marshmallows are calling to me like a moth to a bulb! I wore a knitted dress today so I think I’m subconsciously willing Autumn along! 🍂🍁

I’ve had some new followers so I thought I’d say “Hi!” and show you my fat pregnant face instead of my bump for once!
I’m Roxy the midwife who turned photographer full time, mum to two boys and two girly cats (one grumpy one, this one). Oh yeh and the belly?! Not all cake, some baby baking too with the third little man on the way.
🤰🏻👨‍👩‍👦‍👦+👶🏼
Things that make me inexplicably happy include, shiny taps, blue chicken eggs, beating the sat nav eta, sunsets and cloud porn, symmetrical dates or times and untouched stationery.
Welcome! Now you know my weird facts...let’s hear yours...?

Photographer’s lives are just a constant reschedule!!
So, this morning should have been about beach family photographs but the crazy winds have forced a reschedule as I wasn’t quite confident to continue with 50mph possible gusts! It’s a slow coffee for me watching the boys shoot pirate canons from the bureau and building up to some editing for this morning instead.
Ready for a #winnerwednesday despite the #wind ...the wind outside right not the pregnancy wind...

Hey has anyone seen my toes?!...
...actually, I hope you haven’t as I’ve not been able to reach properly to paint them for a few weeks now!
28 weeks and you’re already making your presence very well known little man, your kicks are fierce and pop out both sides of my belly, you’re giving me health scares, making my pelvis feel like it’s in two halves, threatening the integrity of my previous stretch marks and making muumy extremely tired! Knowing that you’re a boy means we have named you, and so we chat about you like you’re literally in the room...which I guess you are really!!
You’re definitely already very loved 💕

Well I have to say personally this hasn’t been the best week ever!...
...but it’s Friday and we’ve ended the week in much better health than we started and you can’t ask for anything more than that!! And I’ve just found out I’ve won this Bronze award with the prestigious Guild of Photographers!
I needed a silver lining this week and this will do just nicely!
