Photography at the time was something I'd not taken seriously since my college days so I actually enrolled on to a 'Beginners Photography Course' in Manchester to work out how to take even better photos of my daughter, Paisley.
I was then encouraged by lots of peers to consider offering my services to others.
Really...?? I thought.
So with a little help from some local families I soon found a love for documenting 'real' family life.
Helping parents see how amazing they are and what a great job they're doing despite it not feeling like it at times!
I know exactly how it can feel because I've been blown away by those photographs and video clips that show me being 'Mum'. Seeing the way Paisley looks at me and how I look at her.
There can feel like a HUGE struggle at times with young children, some days seem to go on forever and then suddenly they're off to school and we've not been able to really see the enjoyment and only the challenges and upset we've faced!
It can feel exhausting at times...
In our world of social media pressures I feel it's important to share our every day and not just the filtered bits!
