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!

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!

A Lavender Line Kind Of March!

Goodbye March, Hello April! 🌿

It’s hard to believe that we are on chapter 4 of 2026 already! It really does feel like time goes by faster and faster!

Despite a lot going on in real life right now I really enjoyed March and the adventures it brought with it. From playing tourist for a friend’s first Belfast visit to the many weather-changing coast road trips, the return of sea sparkles, a beautiful candlelight Hans Zimmer night, copious amounts of iced vanilla lattes (tis the season), new art exhibitions, my photography work and last but not least the return of Queen Celine! March was making sure to include little moments of joy, something I lacked in February and feel is important to have with all that is going on in the world.

So, here is to those April moments and what I hope will include Celine Dion Paris 2026 tickets! 🤞

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?!

A sneak-peek behind the scenes

Inspiring typography prints for the important women in your life!

The Gift Of Sunset Vitamin Sea

With International Women’s Day fast approaching and Mother’s Day just two weeks away, I wanted to have a special print ready for both occasions! It can sometimes be difficult knowing what to surprise the important women in our lives with, so this year I thought a sunset typography print would make the perfect gift and addition to any home!

Inspired by the beautiful words of Beau Taplin and the rolling sunset waves of Carnlough Beach, I have created two typography prints; one a limited edition print playing with lens flare to give that special touch of golden hour, and the other focusing on that sense of calmness.

Which one would you pick?

‘Unstoppable’ - A Limited Edition print with just 5 available to purchase

‘She Was Unstoppable’ - A sense of calming waves available in 3 different print sizes

‘Because you believed, it happened’

Kicking off 2023 with another business goal of mine ticked off the list : 500 Etsy sales! I think it’s important as a small business owner to celebrate all wins no matter how big or how small they may seem! Although it took a little longer than ticking it off my 2021-2022 list, it makes me so happy to know that even in these difficult financial times we find ourselves in with a cost of living crisis, people are still connecting with my photography. It really is true what they say, whenever you buy from a small business, an actual person does a little happy dance!

So, here is to chasing dreams and ticking off that next business goal!

‘Success is a series of small wins’
