Shine Bright Like A Sea Diamond!

‘Here’s to the moments when you realise the simple things are wonderful and enough’ - Jill Badonsky ✨

What better than some vitamin sea to help cure that old imposter syndrome when it unexpectedly decides to kick in! I find that when those big moments of self-doubt and questioning hit that I’m drawn more than ever to the sea and the calming effects it has on me to rebalance myself.

The perfect touch of blue space in beautiful Donegal!

With all the beautiful sunshine that has been hitting the Emerald Isle recently I have found a new appreciation for the sea and the way in which the sunlight hits the waves creating little sea sparkles, or as someone on Instagram referred to them as sea diamonds, something that had never really captured my attention before until now!

Below are some sea diamonds found, a possible new addiction / photography series in the making! 💎

What do you find yourself turning to when that good old imposter syndrome kicks in? I’d love to hear about it in the comments below as I know that I’m not alone in experiencing it.

Simply Scandi Summer Callin'

Goodbye April, Hello May! ☀️

Summer season is almost here and what better than the release of the Simply Scandi Summer edition to mark the occasion… you might also come across a little Lavender Line Photography while flicking through!

When I think of Summer I think of clear skies, dreamy sunsets and city wanderlust which seemed like a perfect fit for Simply Scandi’s Summer small business directory. I decided to combine my love of sunsets and travel with two of my favourite cities ; When Stockholm Meets Copenhagen photography print set.

A Photography Trip Down Memory Lane!

‘We’re all stories in the end’

A recent photography print purchase had me thinking back to previous client works and how much it means as a photographer and small business owner to hear the stories behind the print. I love getting to know why a particular print was chosen, the memory a certain location holds or the special occasion in which it represents. It’s through the power of photography that these stories and moments can live on, something that will always make this job of mine so special and so rewarding.

Below are just some Lavender Line Photography prints with their special stories and meanings shared. Don't forget to share your story too if there is a certain photography print that has taken you on a trip down memory lane! 🫶

The Dreamscape Three!

Wednesday Waves brought to you by Dreamscape Three!

Inspired by my love of the sea and ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) photography, Dreamscape Three is a special photography print set and series that had me stepping out of my comfort zone and challenging myself to capture sunset waves in a new and exciting way.

Dreamscape Three, a perfect touch of dreamy sunset vitamin sea for your home decor

What I love most about Intentional Camera Movement is the freedom it gives when shooting, how there are no set rules, how experimental you can be playing with movement and shutter speeds, and how unique each and every capture is. I still have some things to learn when it comes to this technique but I love how it adds the perfect dreamy mix to an already dreamy sunset scene.

Dreamscape Three - Fresh off the printer and ready for its new home in America

Dreamscape Three has made its way to new homes here in Northern Ireland, Australia, and just recently America added to the list. A perfect print set for the Spring and Summer seasons!

Love From The Emerald Isle!

Happy St. Patrick’s Day from the Emerald Isle! ☘️

Yesterday marked St. Patrick’s Day, a day of Irish celebrations when all attention is on our famous Emerald Isle and the beauty that this little island has to offer! It can sometimes be that we take our day to day life and surroundings for granted, but with a coastline as beautiful and unforgettable as this, it’s not hard to see why so many people fall in love with it time and time again!

It’s one of the things I love most about my job as a photographer, not only getting to capture such beautiful locations right on my doorstep, but hearing the beautiful stories as to why a particular photography print has stood out to someone. Knowing that a certain location holds such a special memory and how it lives on through the power of photography and photography prints is a feeling that will never grow old for me! A photography love story through the ages!

Lavender Line Photography - She Was Unstoppable!

A New Lavender Line Addition!

A new camera lens called for a mini product shoot with three beautiful female inspired typography prints made specially for those International Women's Day / Mother's Day gifts!

Welcome to the Lavender Line Photography family little 40mm lens, I think we will get along perfectly! I’ve been a big fan of the Nifty Fifty for a long time now, it being my main go-to lens when it comes to my photography work, but I wanted to test myself and my projects this year with a new lens and the Micro 40mm seemed like the perfect fit for all things product photography and travel wise.

Here is to the fun and adventures near and far that this lens brings my small business.

P.S. Does the 40mm have a nickname the way the 50mm does?!

Happy Simply Scandi Sunday! ✨

If you have followed me for a while now then you will know that I am a huge fan of Simply Scandi magazine and really look forward to each new edition coming out throughout the year (best way to spend that first Sunday morning of the new season!)

A big dream of mine as a photographer has been to get my work into publications, something that I was very fortunate to have happen last year with some of my product photography work. It was seeing these publications that pushed me to make 2025 the year that my photography print work have its moment too, photography prints that have made their way to new homes around the world.

A Mini Escape With Mindful Moments Coasters!

“You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction” - George Lorimer

That feeling of complete satisfaction when you finally tick that big job off the to-do list!

As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I can be the worst at putting off the photography work needed for Lavender Line Photography because my attention is needed elsewhere within the business or I run out of time from one week to the next. So, I decided that enough was enough and that this would be the week when I finally put that long awaited job to the top of my work to-do list… and I am very pleased to say that I can now finally tick a product shoot with my Mindful Moments Coasters off the list!

Mindful Moments - a must have photography accessory for your favourite mugs and glasses! A coaster with purpose, encouraging you to : Breathe, Relax and Seek Everyday Magic!

I’m not sure if it was a lack of inspiration that kept this shoot on the back burner, but once an idea came to mind I couldn’t wait to get stuck in and photograph these beautiful coasters, a product that has always done well for me at craft markets, but one I would like to make available online too. I mean who doesn’t love the idea of some sunset vitamin sea and some words of wisdom to accessorise their favourite mug or glass?!

Mindful Moments Coaster : And Breathe

Mindful Moments Coasters were created to help give that sense of mini escape with that first cup of tea or coffee in the morning and that evening glass of wine. To take the time out to just : Breathe, Relax and Seek Everyday Magic!  These coasters also make for the perfect workspace accessory, a way to brighten up your desk area with a beach scene, and help inspire you when things might feel a little overwhelming. A Mindful Moment to put yourself first!
