Bookings Now Open for 2025

It's been a while! I've been a bit MIA as I've taken some time to focus on my own healing journey. Finally having the space and time to do this inner work has been incredibly therapeutic, and while I missed my clients, it was exactly what I needed. I plan to share more about my healing journey at a later date. For now, I'm excited to announce that bookings for 2025 are now open.

However, I do have some news! Through my own healing process, I’ve realised that one of my life’s purposes is to serve others who are on their own healing paths. However, I’m still figuring out what that will look like. So, while my bookings are now open, the truth is, I will be transitioning into this other calling, but I'm unsure how long it will take or whether photography will be a part of that in the future.

What I do know is that things will start to look very different moving forward. Currently, I am open for bookings for branding, past clients only for newborns and family sessions. I do plan on having Christmas Sessions this year in November however I will be keeping you all updated as I am really playing things by ear.

So What will the Future Hold?

Again I am uncertain of exactly how it will look as I gain valuable knowledge in so many different modalities.

However I thought I would share a little about what is driving me -

I keep using the word ‘healing’ but I really have come to realise that it is so much more than that. I think when we hear ‘healing’ we are under the assumption that part of us is broken in some way. Which I think also stops so many from looking at it because who wants to be thought of as ‘broken’.

I can now see that this could not be farther from the truth. I think healing for me has shown me that I was never ‘broken’, I think in today’s society we just lose parts of ourselves along the way. Whether this be through some kind of trauma, intergenerational trauma & consequent patterning, losing loved ones, or parenting (I don’t think I know a single Mother who didn’t lose part of themself through parenting) or societal conditioning. There are so many things that can affect us and I am now only really understanding how that can show up in our lives if we haven’t healed those parts of ourselves.

I firmly believe that in today’s world, everyone inevitably loses a piece of themselves along the way. This is evident in many behaviours and attitudes that people now consider normal. Here are just a few examples:

  • Do you have trouble making decisions or second-guessing your decisions?

  • Procrastinating or doubting yourself?

  • Feeling guilty over your decisions?

  • Do you have an addiction of some sort? And not only the addictions that you think of like alcohol etc but things that affect your daily life with the constant need for distraction like scrolling social media, online shopping, and anything that takes your thoughts away from the present moment.

  • Overwhelmed by life?

  • Have negative self-talk?

  • Lost your motivation? Or feeling stuck?

I now realise that these experiences highlight the need to revisit and gather the missing pieces of our personal puzzles, which can help us become whole again. I look forward to assisting others in discovering those missing parts. Because I truly believe that the world needs more individuals who feel complete, who embrace their unique gifts, and who can contribute meaningfully to create real joy and happiness in their lives. So watch this space!

But remember, Bookings are now open, with dates through to October now available and I am planning on releasing a few branding and or headshot days. I look forward to see you in front of my camera soon. And if you have any questions regarding healing, feel free to reach out.
