SMAC Home Show 15th August
Last night was another Scottish Martial Arts home show. I've a few photographs to work through but here's 1 for now. It was a great night, with some loud beats (the louder the base, the better) and even better fights. Is there anything better than watching real human dedication and passion in action.

Japanese Gardens
I visited the Japanese Gardens recently with a friend. I had been before and really enjoyed it so suggested it for a catch up. It’s such a calm space as well as utterly beautiful. We had a walk around every gorgeous corner, over the bridges and then to a picnic table for a blether.

Down the Devon
I think there are few spaces on this Earth that I would personally consider as beautiful as ones that are largely left alone (though still visited) by humans. I'm sure the River Devon has had its fair share of human meddling (for example, to discourage local flooding) however the weeds grow wild and change with the seasons. I also enjoy seeing the desire paths changing over time. Though that is very much human interference, it's still just a natural process that is an inev

21st birthday
This one has (rightly or wrongly, considering what we know about the internet now) grown up gracing the pages of my photography socials and website, so will be recognisable to many of my past and present clients. And now she is 21! Here she is on her big day, shrouded in (and slightly blinded by) the sunshine before we went out for dinner. She had a great birthday (which stretched right out over the whole weekend of course!), but stressed herself out slightly when she real

Family wedding
This summer we had a family wedding. After the ceremony we went to Alba restaurant for dinner and drinks. It was a beautiful day and of course I had my camera. This is my 4! Of course Jess had already swapped her heels for converse!

Garden fun
One of the other reasons the house has been so quiet is because husband has been working away a lot, and my daughter went on holiday for a week too. So for some time it was just me, the youngest (Tiff) and Ozzy (who had me housebound!) Thankfully, it was sunny though, so we spent hours in the garden. I read a lot, but also made a lot of photographs. This is a very small selection, including 1 of the cone. They are from various shoots so have different aesthetics; I just

Headshots
One of the reasons the house was so quiet at the start of the summer holidays, was because my eldest (lets call him Jay) has bought his first house with his girlfriend and they got the keys on the first day of the summer holidays. It's been a lot to get used to, but I couldn't be happier for them both - they have made their house a beautiful home and they are beautiful people, being beautiful together! As well as that, Jay has also now finished up college and is just about

Start of the summer holidays
This was less than a week into my summer holidays from work. The house was quiet and I went for a walk up the foothills with my pup. This is one of my favourite places. Unfortunately it let me down this time (well, I assume it's humans that have done that to be fair) and Ozzy ended up with a sliced up paw after going in the water. We had to go to the vet where he got sedated, 4 staples, a cone round his head and instructions to rest - no walks until he has healed. So it
