Lavender Line Photography Meets August!

Goodbye August, Hello September!

Chapter 8 of 2026 and with it those end of Summer adventures and the getting back into work routine for those up-and-coming cosy months ahead!

As most of you know I run my own photography business creating original photography prints for home decor and interiors as well as small business product shots, but I am also lending a helping hand at the fabulous Storybox while Rachel is on maternity leave. Not only is Storybox a small business that captured my heart back in 2020, it’s one that has lead to a beautiful friendship and one that I'm honoured to help out alongside my own business as Rachel steps into her exciting new Motherhood role!

Some of my favourite August moments in no particular order :

A month of Lavender Line meets Storybox, sunsets meet cloud play, wine time meets iced lattes, Belfast meets Dublin and I finally meet Bon Jovi with a crowd of 80+ thousand! A great month all in all!

Lavender Line Photography Meets Titanic!

A throwback to a fab product photography shoot I did back in June with the lovely Aisling from City Sights Candles and the newest addition to her beautiful candle and wax melts range.

As the Titanic is such an iconic symbol I wanted to keep to a simple nautical theme that didn’t take away from the design itself. I wanted to play on the importance of the world’s most famous ship and so my fisherman’s table backdrop and Titanic picture book made for the perfect accessories to create an overall rustic feel.

A beautiful candle and wax melt set to add to your home decor for the cosy ‘ber’ months ahead!

If you are a small business owner thinking about your products and the cosy months ahead then be sure to get in touch to discuss a product photography shoot perfect for you and your business!

Lavender Line Photography Meets July!

Goodbye July, Hello August! 🐚

Chapter 7 of 2026 and with it another trip around the sun! I’ve always found July to be a quiet month work wise with summer season in full swing which works in my favour of taking some time off to celebrate my birthday month in style, and more importantly guilt-free!

A month of blue skies and heatwaves, dreamy sunsets, three days in my favourite city, inspiring art exhibitions, birthday brunches meet birthday dinners, wonder day adventures, Tramlines Festival number 5 and overall just spending time with my people!

Thank you to everyone who made July a special month of memory making! Here’s to August and those end of summer adventures!

That Simply Scandi Vitamin Sea!

When Simply Scandi Summer meets waves of beautiful Whitepark Bay! 🌊

A big thank you to my favourite magazine Simply Scandi for a lovely summer feature with one of my favourite vitamin sea photography prints taken at one of my favourite North Coast beaches!

Not only is this a perfect print for the summer months ahead, it's one that fits in perfectly all year round to give a sense of seascape calm in your home decor!

Simply Scandi Summer - Couldn’t resist putting together a mini Summer themed shoot with my new beach towel find for the latest edition of Simply Scandi Magazine!

When Simply Scandi Summer meets Whitepark Waves - it’s such a lovely feeling to see your work in print, but even more so when it’s in a favourite publication of yours!

Whitepark Waves - A photography print favourite of mine and one that has made its home in many countries around the globe!

Lavender Line Moments In June!

Goodbye June, Hello July! ✨

Chapter 6 of 2026 and one that went by in the blink of an eye! From beautiful coastal walks North and South, to dreamy city sunsets, iced-coffee morning catch-ups, blue skies, a heatwave, the odd glass or two of rose meets outdoor cider season, the start of the concerts, Dutton Ranch, inspiring work projects and that much needed time away from the screen to appreciate the little things! All in all a month that kicked Summer season off in style!

Some favourite June moments in no particular order :

Here’s to July and the fun and adventures it brings as well as another trip around the sun! ♋️

Serene Summer Photography For Your Home Decor!

‘Every Summer has its own story’

With Summer almost officially upon us here on the Emerald Isle it’s time for those Lavender Line Photography colour palettes to help inspire your home decor this sea-serene season! Unlike with my other seasonal colour palettes I decided to focus on seascape only, as nothing says Summer quite like the beach!

From waves of dusty pink to oceanic blue, burnished lilac to burnt orange and a touch of transformative teal, there is a perfect colour combo for everyone!

Which colour palette suits your soon-to-be Summer season mood?

Moments By The Ocean

‘One Ocean, One Climate, One Future — Together’ 🌊

Today marks World Ocean Day, a subject that features heavily within my photography work and one of my favourite things to capture no matter the weather, the season or the time of day. There is something so captivating about the ocean and how no two days are the same with its ever-changing waves! I think that’s what makes it the perfect subject matter for me, that element of surprise and not knowing what the final outcome will be!

I’m fortunate to live in a place that is surrounded by water and although I would love to someday live by the beach, to know that I am only a short drive away from my favourite beaches and having those simple moments of vitamin sea close by is something I don’t take for granted! It’s the best feeling, to step away from the busy everyday distractions to the calming soundtrack of the sea!

This year feels important to draw more attention to World Ocean Day, to not only respect our oceans more, but to protect them by doing our bit no matter how big or small in stopping plastic pollution to help obtain a healthier ocean allowing future generations to also enjoy the beauty of our blue planet too!

Below are just some Ballycastle favourits of mine which you can also find on Etsy to add a little vitamin sea to your home decor!

Lavender Line Moments In May!

Goodbye May, Hello June!

Chapter 5 of 2026 and with it the beginnings of that Summer magic here on the Emerald Isle! From a mammoth Yellowstone binge (late to the game but fully making up for lost time) to the many adventures of the coast road, two beach-to-myself sunsets, the return of my favourite Iced French Vanilla Latte season, a new coffee shop experience, mini waves of vitamin sea and the day-today runnings at Lavender Line HQ! All in all my kind of month!

Here’s to Chapter 6 and it having similar adventures!

A Lavender Line Mini Mount Monday!

When those mini waves wash up on the printer for vitamin sea season! 🌊

An important aspect within my work has always been affordability and creating photography prints that people can own no matter their budget or wall space situation. I have personally lost count of the pieces of art I have fallen in love with over the years that unfortunately budget came into play and so the Lavender Line Photography mini mounts were created as a way for people to own their favourite photography print without breaking the bank or lack of wall space.

The mini mounts not only make for a great way of collecting Lavender Line Photography prints, they also make for the perfect size to send to that special someone, a play on the postcard if you like, and we all know how us old schoolers love collecting and sending postcards to mark each trip or special occasion!

Those famous North Coast waves rolling in with Lavender Line’s famous Miss GoLightly!

Lavender Line Photography mini mounts, the perfect mini addition for your day-to-day art collections!

You can find Lavender Line mini mounts available for purchase at the fabulous Storybox in East Belfast and 2020 Art in Whitehead showcasing many famous Northern Ireland landmarks, with hopefully more beautiful small shop locations to come once I push myself out of that comfort zone to get in touch with possible stockists!

Those Lavender Line April Moments!

Goodbye April, Hello May! 🌊

Chapter 4 of 2026 brought with it some much needed positive news, beautiful blue skies, coast road adventures, dreamy sunsets, a fabulous product & lifestyle shoot with one of my favourite small businesses, vitamin sea, catch-ups with friends, a new coffee shop followed by a new beach and last but not least tickets to Queen Celine in Paris (the pre-sale concert lottery gods were with me)! A month where life has felt more normal again!

So, here is to chapter 5 and whatever May adventures it brings with it!
