My 2014

December 23, 2014

2014 was a pretty spectacular year for me… I got married, gave birth to my beautiful second son Huey and was fortunate enough to work with the incredible people below and share in their happiness. I’m so grateful to all of them for having me along for the ride.

This year came with its own new set of challenges as all these photos were taken while I was pregnant or within 3 months after giving birth. I tend to crouch, crawl, bend, roll on the floor, dash around and generally run myself ragged whilst shooting so I had to work out new ways of doing all this with a humungous bump in tow – thank god for industrial strength maternity support belts!

I’ll let the images do the talking but suffice to say, you’ll see that they’re a pretty amazing bunch of folks.

Here are some of the highlights of my wonderful year that was 2014…

    Absolutely incredible. So inspiring and to think you shot so many of these with a baby bump goes to show just how dedicated and talented you are. Every time I look at your photos it makes me want to pick up my camera again….you’ve convinced me. My camera is going to be a big part of my 2015 after looking at these! Thank you x
