Beautiful, personal, natural and ethical photography in 2014


Walking to school this morning - a car windscreen, on my iPhone

Hello there.  I am back - in body at least, if the spirit is lagging slighting.  

The last 6 months of 2013 were crazy - lots and lots of lovely work, and I was consumed by it and attempting to preserve a sniff of time for my lovely family, so things like blogging had to give.  In December, I decided it was time to shift gear, and opt for a new website, branding, products and prints, so I spent a lot of time thinking about all of that.  I want to get it all right, and I want to be offering my clients the best possible stuff, and all in line with ethical principles I hold dear.  

I then disappeared to Switzerland to spend a few weeks up some mountains.  It was stunning.
It looked a bit like this:

This kind of dawn view from the balcony makes being woken up by a three-year-old more 'wow' and less 'ugh'

It was the first time I had an iPhone, and wow, it was fun not carting more kit around, and still capturing some lovely things.

So what's new in 2014?  Well, my re-branding, website update and product research is all going on in the background, and I'm really excited bout sharing it soon.  To give you a taste, I took a marketing course (run by the wicked Jamie at Modern Tog www.themoderntog.com), and have come up with a 'Big Three' to describe my business and values:

Beautiful      Personal      Natural      Ethical 

Ok, so it's a 'Big Four', but that's how it goes.

Anyway, I will be blogging more work soon.
In the meantime, I leave you with some beauty I noticed on the work with the Bee to nursery this morning - on cars (talk about finding beauty in unexpected places!).

Happy 2014 - hope it is a wonderful year for you, with lots of wonder, warmth and laughter.



Love Mim


PS Am so excited that everything I post will look so much better soon, on my new site - bring it on!
