When Native Ivy came to visit.

When local blogger and photographer Native Ivy comes to hang out and take pictures of you in your natural habitat, magic happens. Ruth is like a little creative ninja that just hides in the background and captures what you do best.

I can’t even put into words the blog post Ruth wrote about my studio.

If you’d like to read the interview please just follow this link to Native Ivy and have a wee read for yourself.

Thank you so much Ruth for sharing my passion and wanting to add me to your blog. If you would like to have Ruth capture you in your element please get in touch with her. I promise you won’t be disappointed.

Some local creative talents featured in my images and proudly hanging on my walls are Innocent Chaos and Roberta Marina Stitches. Please check them out. I truly believe it is so important to shop local when you can. Support small businesses, we happy dance when you do.

Remember to love always and always love.

studio life

Okay, so you will all know me well enough by now to know the love I have for Shelley and Ricky from Ten21 Photography (dorky amounts), so when I decided to get my first ever headshots done for my new studio I chose their little faces and camera skills. Well, I was so over the moon with them I can't even cope. Not only are they amazing people but true professionals. Shelley made me feel so at ease and managed to capture my personality perfectly with her camera. The images of my studio totally exceeded my expectations and it was so lovely to have Shelley and Ricky's fresh eyes capture what is now my wee hair haven. 

If any of you out there are looking to get new head shots and update your old fussy images, please give Ten21Photography a shout. You will NOT be disappointed, I promise!! 

my new adventures

Well, it's finally happened! I'm too emotional right now. God has truly blessed me and I'm ridiculously happy. To all my family, friends and amazing team at Blue. THANK YOU for all your support and prayers. On the 1st February I get the keys to my very own studio. EEK!! honestly, it has been the toughest 2016 battling my brain, heart and anxiety, but with the love of my friends and family I have finally grabbed my dream and will be opening my own wee haven. Thank you to every single person I have ever had the pleasure of meeting in my chair. I love you all to the moon and back.

My new studio will be situated in Portview Mill, East Belfast at A1:14. I am too excited. It will probably be mid to end of March by the time I get to open but I will keep you all posted. 

Thank you to everyones support. It had been totally humbling and overwhelming.

be individual - bespoke it up

The choice of jewellers out there is mind blowing. So many companies to choose from and so many options. But ask yourself this, why choose a ring that anyone can just walk in off the street after you and buy the same one?! Through my love of all things wedding and basically surrounding myself by lovely people, I had the honour of meeting the wonderfully talented Mairi. Mairi is a contemporary goldsmith and bespoke jewellery designer. She has a beautiful studio at Portview Mill in East Belfast and lovingly hand makes all her pieces. My eternity ring was made by Mairi and I can truly say it is my favourite ring I own. My ring was made with heirloom stones and includes 25 stones that symbolise our special dates. We also have N&L (Neal and Lynette) engraved on  the inside. It means so much to me. I LOVE IT! I can't recommend Mairi even, not only is she a great girl and lovely to be around, but she is one hell of a goldsmith. Please think about visiting her first before you go and buy off the rack rings.

Check out Mairi's instagram and website below.

Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
