Shades of September Meets Lavender Line Photography!

'September is the perfect blend of Summer's farewell and Autumn's embrace'

Goodbye September, Hello October! Chapter 9 of 2026 and with it the beautiful beginnings of autumn and all things cosy!

I have always found September to be a more productive month with getting back into routine and planning ahead for the last months of the year. It's funny how that September feeling never leaves you when for so many years it marked the start of a new year and setting routines!

Some favourite September moments in no particular order:

A month with dreamy sunsets, nature walks, iced salted caramel lattes, photography projects, photography prints and a little time-out reading along the way. All in all a quiet but productive month with many projects ticked off the to-do lists!

A Simply Scandi Autumn Meets Lavender Line

Hygge [hoo-ga] noun ☕︎🪵🕯️
Creating a warm, cosy atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with good people.

Now that Autumn is officially here and Hygge season has begun it felt only right to mark it with a mini shoot of the new Autumn edition of Simpy Scandi magazine!
If like me you are a big fan of Simply Scandi then you may have spied my 'Colourful Copenhagen' photography print featured in the #ShopScandiSmall directory, one that I feel depicts all things Scandi meets Hygge perfectly with its cosy warm colours and calming pretty city setting.

Pretty City Copenhagen - The famous Nyhavn Harbour and its perfect autumnal colour palette!

Hygge Season is here and what better than a Simply Scandi read to kick it off!

What are you most looking forward to now Autumn is here, is it the exploring of new cities in that autumnal setting or nature walks with the ever-changing leaves? For me it has to be those later sunrises and earlier sunsets with no excuse not to go out and capture! 🌅

Lavender Line Photography In Shades Of Autumn!

‘If a year was tucked inside of a clock, the Autumn would be the magic hour’ - Victoria Erickson

Tomorrow sees the official start of Autumn here on the Emerald Isle and with it my favourite way to mark a new season! It’s time for those Lavender Line Photography colour palettes to help inspire your home decor for the cosy months ahead!

Autumn is one of my favourite times of the year with a change in the sunlight and landscapes becoming beautiful golden wonderlands, something that the sunset chaser in me adores! From little rustic moments to dreamy coastal sunsets and pretty city sundowns, there is a little something for everyone who wants to bring a touch of Autumn into their room or office settings!

Which colour palette fits your cosy vibe best? For me I think it has to be palette number one and that Ballycastle sunset!

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!
