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.

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! 🌅

A Simply Scandi Moment!

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.

Two Lavender Line Photography best sellers : Whitepark Waves meets To The Pier

I can’t tell you just how special it is that for my first photography print publication it be with Simply Scandi magazine and having not one, but two features in there! Seeing the magazine for the first time while going through the airport to visit two of my biggest cheerleaders was an unforgettable moment and one that this small business owner will not forget! 🫶🏻

To The Pier - Ballycastle, Northern Ireland

Whitepark Waves - Whitepark Bay, Northern Ireland

I couldn’t resist this being my first blog post of 2025 and marking this big moment with a mini photoshoot, it’s not every day that you find your work in your favourite magazine! So, here is to stepping out from those comfort zones, taking a chance and following those dreams!

Goodbye July, Hello August!

‘Breathe the sweetness that hovers in August’ - Denise Laverton

Hello August, hello to another month of Summer and hello to chapter 8 of 12! I’m not quite sure how we have gotten to this point so quickly, but here we are! I’m embarrassed to say that my July to-do blog list hasn’t quite gone to plan, but maybe it’s something that is better suited to August and the phasing out of Summer instead!

Calendar 2023 - Ballycastle Beach, County Antrim

July, well what can I say about July other than it has now officially broken all records for being the wettest month in Northern Ireland since 1836! I’m not someone who usually minds bad weather, but the constant July rain has meant that I wasn’t able to get out with my camera as much as I had planned to which has been really disappointing! So, here is to the power of positive thinking and August having some perfect shooting weather to create some new coastal prints just in time for that seasonal change!

And just incase August does not want to play ball and it is another month of record breaking grey skies and rain, then August’s wallpaper will be the perfect dose of daily colour with that much needed sunset vitamin sea for your phone lock screen (now available for purchase on Etsy).

Hello August : bringing a touch of that Lavender vitamin sea to the new month ahead! Now available of purchase on Etsy

A Black & White version to match incase Lavender isn’t your thing! #TwoForThePriceOfOne

The month ahead at just the simple tap of your phone screen!

Here is to those August adventures, to the return of sunshine and making this month one to remember! Let me know if you have any exciting August plans in the comments.
