Ulverston Dickensian Festival

Well it’s been a little while since I’ve posted an update on here, so I thought I’d write about my adventures at the Dickensian Festival in Ulverston last week. I’ve loved attending the event ever since moving to Ulverston, and so I was really looking forward to having a stall of my own this time

Duxbury Designs Strikes Again!

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog post, but even longer since a new Duxbury Designs creation has ventured into my path for photographing. Having met up for a bit of exercise in the Lake District, Katie (of Duxbury Designs) and I didn’t know if we’d have the ideal opportunity for photographing this

Winter Wonderland

As we find ourselves well into the swing of another lockdown it can feel like there’s little to look forward to, and little out of the ordinary to discuss. ‘What are you doing this weekend’ seems hardly worth asking! However for the people of Ulverston, a snowy surprise lay in store to cheer up everyone’s

Autumn Adventures

Autumn is a great season to head out with a camera, so on some recent walks I decided to see if I could capture some interesting seasonal shots. The first collection here was taken on a recent walk up some of the Wainwright fells in the Northern Lake District. The walk took me through a

In Search of Ducks and Small Things

On such a lovely afternoon it seemed a shame to not get out for a walk. I decided to take my camera, and go in pursuit of two things: ducks and macro-photography opportunities! I’ve had some nice feedback about my ‘Derwent Water Duck’ photo which I shared recently on facebook, so wondered if I might

A Seaside Surprise

Here is a collection of pictures from a photoshoot of this splendid Duxbury Designs creation. The dress was inspired by colours of the seaside (though is somewhat brighter!), hence the coastal location for the photographs. It’s a great dress for capturing movement as each colourful scale flutters independently when the dress is twirled around. We

The Tree with the Windy Hair

This week led me on an unexpected mission to seek out trees in windy places. It all began last weekend on a walk on Birkrigg Common, a popular walking spot near my house. My husband remarked that a tree in front of us had ‘windy hair’. As Brikrigg Common is an area of high ground

Creatures Collective

Today I’m looking back at some of my photographs of the of the wonderful Creatures Collective. My sister Katie is a creative costume maker who has always followed her instincts to invent some unique and exciting creations. When thinking about how to describe the costumes to somebody, one can find that the only way to

VE Day

To mark the 75th Anniversary of VE day yesterday I decided to head out on a nice walk to Ulverston’s most prominent viewpoint Hoad Hill. Usually I head in the opposite direction, but I thought this would make a nice change and would make the day more memorable. I decided to head out in the

Incarnage

Something a bit different on the blog this week! Today’s photographs are from a photoshoot I did last year with local metal band Incarnage (formerly Memento Mori). My husband T-J plays lead guitar in the band, and he recruited me to take some photographs as they were looking to improve their promotional material to use
