Slow Living

For me, it’s taking time and relishing quiet moments—noticing the light, texture and colors around you and remembering to breathe!

My Favorite Book

I love My Floral Affair by Rachel Ashwell.

"You can cut all the flowers but you cannot keep Spring from coming." -Pablo Neruda

Photo + App Advice

I get so exciting thinking about creating new photos. I love the whole creative process, sourcing props, styling and, of course, adding beautiful flowers and faffing. My advice is, before you shoot, pause and look, take a few shots with your props in different positions and decide which looks the best. Make sure you have natural light and a beautiful backdrop. My secret apps are Snapseed and A Color Story to make your pictures shine!

Account that Inspires Me

My first inspiring account was my friend Benedicte from Norway: @kardemomme1
