BALDILOCKS’ Post

This is my 1,798th post! Photography has always been a passion of mine, and this platform is such a meaningful way for me to share that creative outlet. I’m also thrilled to know there are others in our bronchiectasis community who share this love of photography. I can’t wait to feature them and their incredible work in the future. That said, my favorite photograph of all time wasn’t taken by me. It’s a heartwarming shot of bronchi-sister Glenda’s grandson. Several Christmases ago, he received a toy drill as a gift, but having watched his grandma nebulize so often, he thought it was his very own nebulizer💚💜❤️ Moments like this remind us that living with bronchiectasis is a family affair. Rather than feeling ashamed of a condition that requires us to clear mucus multiple times a day, we can embrace the hidden lessons our disease offers. It teaches our children and grandchildren that life isn’t always perfect, but when challenges arise, we adapt and do what we can to thrive. If that’s not a life lesson worth celebrating, I don’t know what is! Wishing everyone a joyous week filled with family, good food, and plenty of laughter. #Bronchiectasis #BronchiectasisAwareness #ChronicIllness #ChronicCondition #RespiratoryHealth #SelfCare #FamilySupport #InvisibleIllness #PatientSupport #PhotographyLovers #CommunitySupport #LifeLessons #PositiveMindset #OvercomingChallenges #AdaptAndThrive #Gratitude #HealthJourney #Inspiration #NebulizerLife #ParentingWithPurpose #GrandparentLove #FamilyMatters #PhotographyCommunity #ChronicIllnessWarrior #HiddenStrengths #MindfulLiving

Laughter carried on the sea breeze, the warmth of connection under the sun. This moment captured the essence of family—across generations, sharing joy, and grounding themselves in the simplicity of togetherness. Photographing this reminded me how health and happiness are deeply intertwined, rooted in the bonds we nurture. These are the moments that linger, the ones worth remembering. #CapeTownPhotographer #HealthcarePhotography #MedicalPhotography #LifestylePhotographer #FemalePhotographerSA #SouthAfricanPhotography #AuthenticStories #AdvertisingPhotography #CapeTownCreatives #FamilyConnection #PhotographyWithHeart #GenerationalHealth #EmotiveVisuals

Do you ever feel stuck seeing only the challenges in your day? Sometimes, the smallest details tell the biggest stories. Take a close-up of frozen berries on a tree—what do you see? To one person, it might seem like winter’s harshness. To another, it’s resilience and quiet beauty. Our experiences shape how we view the world. What feels like a struggle today might reveal itself as a hidden opportunity tomorrow. When we shift our perspective, even the coldest, hardest seasons can surprise us with unexpected beauty.

The Impact of Social Media Across Generations Social Media: Bridging or Widening the Generation Gap? In "Social or Unsocial: Scroll, Like, Repeat", I explore how social media affects different generations—from older adults experiencing FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) to young people facing addiction and pressure. How does social media impact our perceptions, relationships, and even our work? How can we navigate these challenges and find a healthier balance? My book offers a deep dive into these questions, with practical advice for every generation. Let's start a conversation about the role of social media in our lives. Are we really connecting, or are we losing touch with what truly matters?

🌟 #MindfulDiaries: Finding Joy Behind the Lens 📸 Meet Minakshi Suvare from our HR team, whose love for photography brings peace and perspective to her life. "Photography is therapeutic for me. It helps me focus on the positives, relive memories, and embrace the beauty around me," says Minakshi. From capturing serene sunrises to the intricate beauty of nature, her lens reflects her mantra:  "After every sunset, there is a sunrise."

Get back to the things outside work that fill your cup! Yep, here I am on the professional networking platform talking about focusing on things OUTSIDE work! I dabble in family & lifestyle photography, and I LOVE it. But I hadn’t taken photos of people other than my own children in six months! That changed last weekend, when I was dropped back into the deep end with a sunset photoshoot for a family I booked several months ago. I was nervous that I wouldn’t be good enough. That my stress and anxiety would overwhelm the fun of it, and that would impact my ability to deliver for this sweet family. I made a conscious decision to show my anxiety the door and to focus on the kids and the fun instead. And you know what happened?! We had a blast, and I captured about 50 wonderful images! And it filled my cup and reinvigorated my creativity! So, here’s your permission slip: Get back to the thing you love that you’ve neglected or stepped away from. Get over the nerves or the excuses or whatever is holding you back, and JUST DO IT. You may produce something stunning, or you may just have fun, or you may fail. Or all of the above! But no matter what, you will remind yourself you are worthy of self-investment. And you’ll feel a little brighter in every area! #worklife #photography #creativity #balance #courage #justdoit

Life is unpredictable. There will always be events beyond our control, events we did may choose, need or want. But, the true power lies in how we respond. We may not be able to control the outcome, but we definitely CAN control: ✨ Our thoughts about it ✨ Our feelings toward it ✨ Our perception of it ✨ Our response to it Remember, your strength lies in how you choose to navigate life's challenges, using thoughts and beliefs that serve you! Take back your power by focusing on what you CAN control. 💪💫 #judehunkartherapy #MindsetShift #TakeControl #InnerStrength #Resilience #GrowthMindset Photo: MiSS PiCCY Photography

Every moment is worth celebrating. We always think about the milestone moments. You know the ones - landing that dream job, saying "I do" to your soulmate, smashing your goals and dreams, or the day you finally put yourself at the top of your priority list. But why wait for a milestone moment to document your fabulousness? You're a living breathing masterpiece, and every version of you deserves to be documented. This amazing version of you that exists in this exact moment. Because my favourite saying is that the best photographs are always taken between the posed portraits.  And isn't that a perfect metaphor for life, gorgeous. Because those in-between moments are where the transformational magic is happening. And your magic deserves to be documented www.tigzrice.com Dita Von Teese Glamonatrix Tour #tigzrice #boudoirexperience #intimatephotos #youareenough #investinyourself #confidenceissexy #celebrateyourbody #empoweringportraits #bucketlistexperience #confidenceiskey #selfconfidenceboost #empowermentphotographer #empowerment #lovetheskinyourein #ukempowermentphotographer #youdeservetoexistinphotos #imagesspeaklouder #vintagebeauty #modernpinup #vintageboudoir #pinupgirl #theartofboudoir #pursuitofportraits #mystoryoflight #vintagelook #lingerieaddict #beunapologeticallyyou #berealnotperfect #empowermentshoot #empowermentphotography
