Today was a first for me... first time in the highlands... and first time attempting some wildlife photography. SO much to learn but such an enjoyable experience. Thanks to my amazing model ;-) . . @andyparkinsonphoto photography tours 🙌🏻📷 . . #highlands #mountainhares #wildlifephotography #highlandmodel #wildoutdoors #wildphotography #wildandfree #sussexphotographer #designcollectivechichester #dcchi
And I must go....
With my no.1 love being away for a few weeks I have been giving a lot of attention to my no.2 love... yes... the cat... . . So today I dedicating my post to all the loving pets and street pets who have photobombed the hundreds of photo shoots they weren’t ‘technically’ invited to partake it. However I’m sure you’ll agree, they do all make for rather gorgeous photos. And they certainly make the photoshoots very memorable!!! . . HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE 💚🐾 . . #petsofinstagram #pets #petportrait #catsofinstagram #dogsofinstagram #purfectpose #studiopets #lifestylecat #lifestyledog #smashthecake #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #1percentfortheplanet #1percentfortheplanetmember #chichesterphotographer #chichesterphotography #westsussexphotographer #westsussexphotography #westwitteringphotographer #westwitteringphotography #familyphotographer #catphotobomb #dogphotobomb #designcollectivechichester #DCChi #chichesternetwork #valentinesday #valentinesdayforpets #valentinesday2019
Last week I had the pleasure of working with two top girls from @montezumaschocs creating some magic in the studio. Lots of exciting new concepts in the mix for 2019. . Oh, and guys, if in doubt buy chocolate! . . #productphotography #britishchocolate #flatlays #springflatlays #valentinesflatlays #chocolatephotography #valentines2019 #valentines #interiorsphotography #montezumaschocolate #veganchocolate #dairyfree #lovechocolate #interiors #stilllife #sussexphotographer #dcchi #designcollectivechichester
Let’s hear some LOVE for the oh-so-cute heart succulents from @thelittlebotanical I photographed a few weeks ago 🙌🏻📷 . This year there will be no fresh flowers in my house (mainly because @nicolairoterman is working in Antarctica... alright for some) but there are most definitely some heart succulents happily sharing the space with all my other green house plants 💚🍃 . . . . #productphotography #interiorsphotography #interiors #stilllife #plantlove #plantlife #urbanjungle #valentines2019 #valentinesday #plantgang #succulents #succulentlove #greenhouseplants #sussexphotographer #smallbusiness #DCChi #designcollectivechichester
It’s my 13th birthday for my photography business 🍾🥂 🎉 📷 . . . Wow, It’s seems only yesterday that I handed in my notice at @shorewatersports from their web team to start my self employed career . . The journey has been epic. With lots of highs, lows, mistakes, and successes along the way. But that’s life. And I wouldn’t change my work lifestyle for anything! I love the adventure and travel and hope to further this in the next 13yrs 🌍 . . . A big THANKS to all my lovely clients for trusting in me to create imagery for your brands, and allowing me to capture your weddings, family events and portraits, and all those other hundreds of photo shoots. I wouldn’t be here without you! . . #smallbusinessowner#smallbusiness#selfemployedphotographer#localphotographer#brandlifestylephotographer#13today#businessanniversary#letsparty#DCChi#designcollectivechichester#juliatomsphotography#selfemployedjourney#weddingphotographerwestsussex#familyphotographer#workanniversary#13workanniverysary
Nature // A tiny weeny ladybird captured with my fav macro lens whilst I lay facedown in a field. .. ..

in case you missed my post yesterday .. .. I am integrating my wild outdoors photography into my main account reposted from @julia.toms .. .. Raindrops // It's always refreshing to grab a camera and head out straight after it has rained. All the dust from the air gets washed away and the colours look so fresh and vibrant. These little blooms were hiding amongst some tall grasses .. .. #dew #nature #naturephotography #purple #blooms #bulbs #wildlifephotography #wpoty #macrophotography #canonmacro100mm #canon5dmarkiii #wildoutdoorsclub #hellofebruary #wildoutdoorsphotography #designcollectivechichester #DCChi
Hello February! Long time no see Snow day ahoy! .. .. 2018 was an incredibly busy year work wise for me. In fact my biggest year in my business since 2005 .. .. So I took a little step back in January from social media/blogging to concentrate on new clients/projects to plan for the year ahead .. .. A while back I started another Instagram account for my wild and outdoors photography. Turns out to be one too many accounts to manage... . . So bear with me all my wedding/interiors/product photography followers as I’ll be introducing my wild outdoors photography to you all 🖤🍃📷🌿 .. .. Macro // A tiny but mighty subject captured with my macro lense. This flower was a couple of millimetres in size .. .. #canon100mmmacro #canon5dmarkiii #cornfield #kingleyvale #nature #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #wpoty #ukwoodland #macro #macrophotography#wildoutdoorsclub #hellofebruary #designcollectivechichester #DCChi
“No winter lasts forever; no spring skips it’s turn”. . . The winter solstice is here and I am looking forward to longer day’s so I can enjoy even more photography 📷 . .
