…. in creating portraits that feel like memory:
It’s the small glances,
the way the light hits their hair when they laugh,
the late afternoon sun,
the kind that turns everything golden.
My sessions are slow.
Spacious.
Like a walk through your favourite park at golden hour, barefoot and softly spoken.
The Story of My Heart
It is eternity now. I am in the midst of it. It is about me in the sunshine; I am in it as the butterfly in the light-laden air. Nothing has to come; it is now. Now is eternity; now is the immortal life.
Richard Jefferies
Join me from the end of March on the heath at Blackheath, London for my magic hour portrait sessions…

Reflections on being...
“There is more going on than we can see or understand, and we need to find a way to lean into the mystery of things.” Nick Cave

Joy
Make yourself so happy so that when others look at you they become happy too ― Yogi Bhajan
Beyond...
“I am reality without beginning . . . I have no part in the illusion of ‘I’ and ‘you,’ ‘this’ and ‘that.’ I am . . . one without a second, bliss without end, the unchanging, eternal truth. I dwell within all beings as . . . the pure consciousness, the ground of all phenomena, internal and external. I am both the enjoyer and that which is enjoyed. In the days of my ignorance, I used to think of these as being separate from myself. Now I know that I am all.” ― Robert Lanza, Beyond Biocentrism
What her soul wishes...
“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
All things are impermanent..
“If there is beauty, there must be ugliness;
If there is right, there must be wrong.
Wisdom and ignorance are complementary,
And illusion and enlightenment cannot be separated.
This is an old truth, don't think it was discovered recently.
"I want this, I want that"
Is nothing but foolishness.
I'll tell you a secret -
"All things are impermanent!”
Start where you are...
“You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” C S Lewis
