Personal photography project for 2025 | Taking a photo a day in 2025


London & Hertfordshire photographer

 

 

After an impromptu break from project 365 for May, June, and July, I am back! Those months were packed with shoots, editing, networking, and all the other things that come with running both a business and a family. I didn’t have the time or headspace to capture, edit, and upload a photo every day.


One of my main reasons for starting this challenge was to encourage myself to get out with my camera more, and during those months I was doing plenty of that through client work.


So, I took a pause.


Fast forward three months, through summer term at school, re-doing our garden at home, and I'm back for August and hoping to see it through to the end of the year. And let’s be honest, if I managed a full 365 days in my very first year, how would I top it next year?!

Happy wedding day Becky and Robin. Attended a wedding as a guest today. What an honour. Obviously took hardly any photos, except for one on my phone of the gorgeous flowers and tablescape.

If you can't have an espresso martini in the sunshine on your birthday bank holiday weekend, when can you!

You might remember we planted so many sunflower seeds in February. Too many to grow in our own garden so we shared them with family and friends. So lovely to see them in bloom!


When I grow up I want to be able to grow more plants outside! I feel confident with indoor plants (except for my birthday bonsai RIP). 2026 will be the year of the garden!

A quiet day resetting after a week away, including a much needed hose down for the car! That was today's entertainment for the kids.

This was probably the most smooth journey back yet! Powered by Harry Potter book 4 audiobook. That's a whole lot of hours of listening to Stephen Fry!

We always go and watch the sunset whenever we can. Sunsets are different when you are on holiday.

Taking in all the colours and textures of Scotland. So beautiful and peaceful. A much needed change of scenery.

The first place we go to when we come to Scotland is the beach! That's the one thing (other than the Scottish fam!) that we miss more than anything by living in London.

Long afternoon shadows of me and my husband cast on the sandy Aberdour beach, surrounded by kayaks.

A week away in Scotland. 7 hours of driving, here we go!

I feel like this summer sums up the chaos that is the summer holidays! Hanging out at my parents' house with the kids and my nephew. It's easier looking after lots of children when you join forces, right!?

Summer holidays when you are running your own business and have a family to entertain can be a juggle. I carved out some time for myself this evening to hang out with fellow self employed people for our version of the work "summer party"!

Inline skating in the park (in the rain) with friends today, followed by a hot chocolate to warm everyone up. Felt very autumn/cosy today.

Special trip into Coal drops yard today for my eldest to get her ears pierced.

Everyone is happy at the park. The littles have their scooters or a tennis ball, and I have my camera.

Today was an at home day for the cousins to hang out! Nice to have the train track out again after a few years of being in storage!
