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?

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 Touch Of Simply Scandi Spring!

"No winter lasts forever, no spring skips its turn" - Hal Borland

The arrival of Spring calls for my favourite way to kick off a new season, with the new edition of Simple Scandi magazine, a magazine dedicated to inspiring our interiors and lifestyle with the perfect touch of all things Scandi!

This one is special because not only does it feature a little Lavender Line Photography’s Sunset Silhouette, the photograph that has gone on to be the face of my business so-to-speak, it also features an article from my Instagram pal @manon.galama who moved to Stockholm a little over 4 years ago from the Netherlands and documents the city beautifully. An issue to definitely check out!

Lavender Line Photography - A coastal ‘Sunset Silhouette’

It would have been wrong not to capture those out-of-control Tulips of mine for a little Spring themed Simply Scandi shoot!

To add a touch of Spring to your home decor this new season be sure to check out my Etsy shop or shop in person at my Portview Trade Centre studio or the fabulous Storybox Shop!

Sundown Slieve League Style!

'Seek not just the sights but the stories behind them'

A throwback to three weeks ago with a dreamy and spontaneous sunset visit to the stunning Slieve League Cliffs, one that had been on my bucket list since a day trip to the famous Cliffs of Moher back in 2019!

After a quick night before decision with the lovely Rachel from Storybox about cashing in on our self-employment sunny day perks, we set off on a Wednesday Wonder Day adventure to beautiful Donegal. Two dreamy beaches and a stop in Donegal town centre had us thinking about sunset and where best to watch, and after a look on google maps Slieve League was decided!

Golden hour done right at beautiful Slieve League, Donegal!

Slieve League also known as Sliabh Liag, are the highest accessible sea cliffs in Europe rising 598m above the Atlantic Ocean, almost three times the height of the Cliffs of Moher! After a steep drive up to the carpark (thankfully I was not driving) where you can park your car for 10 euros, you follow the winding coastal path with unforgettable views looking out to the Atlantic Ocean, Donegal Bay, Leitrim, Mayo, Sligo and the stunning cliffs themselves. With so much beauty to take in I can see why people say you need more than one visit, it’s one that I would love to see in all seasons as well as by boat…. seems only right for this ocean child!

A sunset to remember with great company, a location more spectacular than I could have imagined and a big tick off that old bucket list of mine! Now to get stuck into that editing for some new and exciting Ireland themed photography prints!

Have you ticked Slieve League Cliffs off your list?

Shades Of Autumn

It’s that time of year when those beautiful Autumn colours take over and the landscape becomes its own famous shade of golden hour 🍂

Here at Lavender Line Photography we love a dreamy sunset (something we are quite well known for), so what better than some Lavender Line Photography meets sunset vitamin sea colour palettes to help inspire your home decor this Autumn and Winter season! 🌅

Goodbye June, Hello July!

‘Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August’ - Jenny Han

It’s hard to believe that we are now into what could be known as one of the best months of the year…my birthday month! I know I say it each new month, but where exactly has the time gone?! To think that we are now more than half way through 2023 is crazy to me, but what a fab few months of adventure it has been!

I do want to give each 2023 adventure a blog post of its own (it’s on my July to-to list), but here are four sneak peek words of what’s to come : London, Stockholm, ABBA Anniversary! Until then, here is to July and the new month ahead, to another year around the sun and to chasing adventures whatever they may be!

Image and words from : @girlandhermagic

Incase you missed it, July’s wallpaper is now available for purchase with what I hope will be your Summer motto : Everything, in time. A perfect touch of sunset vitamin sea meets the new month ahead at the simple tap of your phone screen, and if the quote is not for you then don’t worry, you can have it with or without text with both phone wallpapers included! #TwoForThePriceOfOne

Hello July Wallpaper: Why not add a touch of that sunset vitamin sea meets the month ahead to your July phone lock screen!

A July wallpaper perfect for that Summer motto : everything, in time!

Now to make a start into that July to-do list!

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

Dream. Believe. Achieve

‘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’

Little Lavender Line Pick-Me-Ups

‘It Comes And Goes In Waves’

If you know me then you will know that I am someone who loves a quote and finding those little words of wisdom on days when you aren’t feeling so great. It was this that made me think about my work and how I could incorporate the two elements together to bring forward a photography typography range with some pick-me-up phrases and sunset scenes to create 5 little pick-me-up greeting cards.

It Comes And Goes In Waves : perfect for those with a love of those rolling waves

From Find Me Where The Waves Are to Life Is Better At the Beach, This Must Be The Place to Go Lightly and It Comes And Goes In Waves, there is a little something for everyone to let them know that you are thinking of them!

Go Lightly : perfect for those Breakfast At Tiffany’s fans

Find Me Where The Waves Are : perfect for those with a love of vitamin sea

Little-Pick-Me-Ups are now available for purchase on Etsy individually or as a set. Which would you choose to send that someone special, and are there any phrases that you would like to see for future card designs?

A Moment With Lavender Line

“Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow.” -  Anita Desai

I’m taking a different approach to Wanderlust Wednesday today and sharing some best selling prints that have made their new home in countries such as America, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden to name a few. It’s what I look forward to most;  seeing what print has caught the attention of the client, the story behind their print purchase and the country that is next to pin on my sales map. It makes it even more special when it is a print from home and seeing the love that people have for our beautiful coastline as well as the memories it holds. It’s a feeling that will never get old!

Below are just some of those LLP favourites!

Whitepark Waves : A touch of those Whitepark Bay waves to give that hit of vitamin sea!

To The Pier : It’s a written rule that you must stand here to appreciate the view when visiting Ballycastle Beach!

Golden Hour Mournes : A must-visit sunset location!

Ballycastle Blues : It’s hard not to fall in love with North Coast views like this!

Do you own a Lavender Line best seller? I’d love to see how it has settled into its new home! #LavenderLineAtHome
