“Though her soul requires seeing, the culture around her requires sightlessness. Though her soul wishes to speak its truth, she is pressured to be silent.” ― Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Memory...
“We look at the world once, in childhood. The rest is memory.” ― Louise Gluck
Carbon
“Depending on where you look, what you touch, you are changing all the time. The carbon inside you, accounting for about 18 percent of your being, could have existed in any number of creatures or natural disasters before finding you. That particular atom residing somewhere above your left eyebrow? It could well have been a smooth, riverbed pebble before deciding to call you home.
You see, you are not so soft after all; you are rock and wave and the peeling bark of trees, you are ladybirds and the smell of a garden after the rain. When you put your best foot forward, you are taking the north side of a mountain with you.” — Ella Frances Sanders, Eating The Sun
Storytelling....

Brother and sister
"To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brothers and sisters. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds and secrets, family griefs and joys. We live outside the touch of time" Clara Luz Zuniga Ortega.
Home is a feeling
Wonderful afternoon photographing these lovelies
**Summer family photo sessions still available - please call for availability and pricing**
I have to share this very sweet endorsement from Sunday if anyone is considering booking pics with me:
"Alex was a pleasure to work with. We haven't a huge amount of spare time and aren't a family that usually enjoy having our photos taken. Alex completely exceeded our expectations - she was quick, thoughtful, didn't make us feel awkward or uncomfortable and most importantly worked around our crazy schedules by coming to our house. She followed the kids round and just let them be them. The results are fabulous and capture exactly who we are as a family. I couldn't recommend her more highly! Love her and love her pictures - perfect!" Laura
A little love story
One Sunday afternoon in June.
I have personalised family photo sessions still available for the summer.
