A busman's holiday? Or just a photographer being a photographer? 📸

I was in Tarragona last week with my camera, of course.

And somewhere between exploring the beautiful streets, listening to the waves, eating my way around the city and stopping to notice all the little things that caught my eye, Sarah and I found time to do some brand photography.

We photographed each other, played with the light, found some lovely spots and came away with photographs that feel like us.

Which got me thinking about how much I love this part of photography. Not just the planned shoots, the shot lists and the carefully considered locations, but the moments when you see something, have an idea and think, ooh, that looks beautiful!

And then you make it happen.

Of course, I also came home with approximately seventeen hundred photographs of anchovies, local vermut, architecture, street details and things I want to remember.

So was it a busman's holiday?

Possibly.

But when you love what you do, sometimes it's just a lovely excuse to do a little more of it.

Here are a few of my Tarragona favourites. Some are work, some are play, and some are simply things I wanted to photograph because they made me happy.

And honestly? That's my favourite reason to pick up a camera - capturing the joy in the little things, and finding ways to remember what it feels like to be there, really present, enjoying it all.

I was torn between two photographs to lead this post with.

One was elegant, romantic and beautifully calm. The other was… very Henriette and Alan! 🥂

I've known Henriette for nearly 20 years, so when she booked me and said, “I couldn't think of anyone else who'd be happy photographing me in the bath,” I had a feeling this was going to be fun!

Henriette and Alan are spontaneous, full of life and all about living in the moment. They wanted photographs that reflected that, without spending the day worrying about posing or getting everything perfect.

And that's exactly what we did. Well, apart from dashing into the woods between rain showers!

Their guests thought they were coming to a party to celebrate a wedding that had already happened. Instead, Henriette and Alan surprised everyone by bringing the ceremony into the party room. Two dresses, an unexpected ceremony and a whole lot of joy. ❤️

I don't photograph as many weddings as I did before the pandemic, but I absolutely love working with couples who want to get involved in their own joy. People who want to laugh, let go and enjoy every moment with their favourite people.

They want someone behind the camera who'll encourage that energy rather than rein it in.

So, sorry, elegant woodland photograph. You're still a favourite. But this time, personality won! 🥂💛

Henriette & Alan...

When pre-wedding shoots roll like this, you know the big party is going to be fun!

Mainly, 'let's not take this all too seriously' is the brief that I was given! 😍

I don't photograph as many marriage celebrations as I used to, but when I do, they are very much fun!

Henriette & I go back many years to when I dated her best friend Kursat, who will be missed.

I'm coming to get you Henriette Lyttle-Breukelaar! ⭐️💛

I'm not great at video, so naturally, I decided to post one.

This little 30-second clip is far from perfect. In fact, it ends with me stepping back and laughing at myself.

But I posted it anyway.

Because lately, one word keeps showing up everywhere in my business: intention.

When I'm planning a personal brand shoot, intention comes long before we talk about locations, outfits or poses.

What do you want these images to do?

How do you want people to feel when they see them?

What stories do you want to tell about your business, your personality and the experience of working with you?

Without intention, it's easy for content to blend into the background.

With intention, every photograph has a purpose.

That's how we create images that showcase your personality, tell your story, highlight your expertise and help you show up consistently across your business.

And perhaps the same is true for showing up online.

It doesn't have to be perfect.

It just has to be intentional.

Thanks for the support and ecouragement! ⭐️

Growing a business is not always glamorous…

Today I spent some time photographing my client and friend of TAKE FIVE SKIN AND LASER | SKIN SPECIALIST | MOUNTSORREL as she continues transforming a former restaurant into a new training and content creation space alongside her beauty business.

And let me tell you… today was NOT a day for perfectly curated backdrops.

There was jet washing. Mud. Dust. Building work. Electricians.

And Amy, in the middle of it all, rolling up her sleeves and getting stuck in.

I actually loved it, because this is the bit we don't always see.

We see the beautiful finished space.
The launch.
The polished photographs.
The “look what I've created” moment.

But long before that comes the graft.

The mess.
The decisions.
The problem-solving.
The days when you have to get your hands dirty and make it happen.

So that's exactly what we captured.

Images that feel a little rough around the edges. A little unpolished. Properly behind the scenes.

Because your brand story isn't just about the finished product.

It's about everything it took to get there.

And sometimes the most powerful content isn't technically perfect, it's honest.
