A one hour shoot with Julia, a fertility and pregnancy mindset coach and founder of Pineapple Coaching, who supports women with the emotional and practical challenges of trying to conceive.
When Hannah Munnings, health coach and Iyengar yoga teacher, got in touch telling me about her dream to run wellness retreats and needing some soulful brand photographs for her new venture Lelou, I jumped at the chance to work with her.
Author Tania Ahsan’s dream was to take her bright pink armchair to the park, so we did! I love it when a client has an unusual idea for their brand photos and we can collaborate on bringing their vision to life.
Every summer for the past three years I’ve had a Soulful Shoot with Ann, florist and founder of Double Happiness Studio, to celebrate her son Kiran’s birthday and also her incredible floral art.
A super fun August bank holiday weekend at Lost Village music festival in Lincoln, taking photos across the site, but focusing most of my attention on the tranquil wellness area; The Energy Garden.
I wasn’t planning on going back to Marrakech after a pretty disastrous trip back in 2011 (see my other post about that), but when I was asked if I’d like to shoot Beat Hotel, a four day festival overlooking the Atlas Mountains… well I jumped at the chance!
Beat Hotel has been a staple at Glastonbury since 2011 (the tent we always go to on the Sunday night to grasp those last precious Glasto moments) and was travelling to Morocco for the first time over Easter weekend. Held in the Fellah Hotel, one of the most striking festival settings I’ve seen, with red villas contrasting against sculptured green cacti, and swimming pools framed by palm trees.
A small festival with a lovely bunch of people, we enjoyed headline sets from Maribou State and Young Fathers, DJ sets from Gilles Peterson and James Holden, epic poolside sessions, secret house parties, creative classes from the likes of Patternity and a whole range of wellness workshops… disco nap yoga, early morning meditation, gong baths and mystical tarot readings.
Here’s a few of my favourite shots from the weekend. See you there next year?
