Five Favourites // September

In no particular order, here are some of the things I have been thankful for and enjoyed this September...

A chance to catch up with my favourite girls, at a friend's beautiful wedding.

Seeing 'The Lion King' musical.

A day in Oxford and the chance to snap some portraits for a friend. 

Time off work each week - and being able to spend a morning leisurely enjoying a coffee and croissant without having to rush into school. Bliss.

A lovely weekend in glorious Pembrokeshire with my mum. 

I feel like I've crammed a lot into this month, in spite of it also including my return to work. Normally that means I have no energy for anything else, but reducing my hours and rethinking my priorities has meant that this year I have thoroughly enjoyed my September. I'm determined that this good balance in my life will continue through the autumn. 

What are you thankful for, as this month draws to a close?

Five Favourites // April

Blimey - this year is just flying by. With all the effort I have been putting into my photography blog, I haven't been writing here nearly enough. I thought I would begin to rectify that by starting a new, monthly feature. I will be posting up five favourite memories / photos / things from the month as it draws to a close. 

I also invite you to do the same and link up to your posts in the comments - will be fun to see what people have enjoyed each month. 

Here goes...

1. A little holiday, with my Mum, to Amsterdam. 

2. A fun weekend with a brilliant friend (I also love the bright yellow rapeseed fields at the moment).

3. My favourite flowers were in bloom at the start of the month. So many fond memories of my childhood garden, when I see these. 

4. My first paid photography shoot. So excited to be taking steps forward with my little business. 

5. A couple of days chilling out in Derbyshire with this lovely lady. 

That's my five favourites from April. What are yours?
