Hope Walks’ Post

When you buy your Mum a new puppy to look after her and your Dad on their farm because they are getting older and you buy them a photo session to capture the puppy at just 13 weeks old. It is all about helping people, besides, how could I resist!! #familyfirst #customerservice #clientrelationships #trusted #businessrelationships #businessphotography

Blog post 1 - A Christmas Close-Up You may ask why I chose to focus on the tiny details of our Christmas tree. Well, that’s because I feel like not many people do, and I felt like it was time to give the little parts of a Christmas tree their due. What fascinated me was that without taking a photo of the whole tree, I knew it was a Christmas tree. I did feel that, when I decorated the tree, the beads were not often used for festive decorations and maybe it was a bit much. However, when I was taking these pictures, I found myself absorbed by the beads and they formed the centre pieces of many of my photos. Taking these pictures created a fun yet challenging task. I only had a small bit of time as we had to take the tree down (it was long overdue!). So I was left to play with the light and the tinsel. I was filled with gratitude that I had the chance to take these photos with what they represented. It was the first Christmas for C and I, in our first home together, and we were planning our year for more, starting with this website. I think I will photograph our tree every year, as a close-up, to really allow us the opportunity to slow down and notice the details that fill our homes with such joy, year on year. T x.

Life is short and it can catch you off guard. Yesterday, while standing on a windy, wild cliff top beside a statue that commemorated a little girl who had been swept off that very cliff, my seven-year-old was nearly lifted off her feet. The strong gust caught her off guard and her jacket like a sail, and for a moment, she billowed backwards threatening to take flight. It was a stark reminder of how life can change in an instant, like the wind. I’m all for art and sculpture, but I couldn’t help but wonder why they hadn’t spent the money on fences or barricades to prevent such a tragedy from happening again. Sheesh. In light of all of that, my seven-year-old and I are now planning to write a kids picture book about, “the girl in the flowery coat who sailed around the world.” Working title. 😉 Marissa Brand - Brand from the Inside Out #GWinfluencer #getgutsybrand #brandinsideout #brandstrategy

Kawaii Kitties Colouring: Colour Super-Cute Cats in All Their Glory (Creative Coloring)

The 'Let's be Lighthouses' quilt is finished! Today I am sharing with you a quilt finish I am rather pleased with. It's a quilt made for my lover and partner. It's made in colours of his choice in a style that suits him. Also, it's big because he is a long guy and I wanted him to fit underneath 😊. This quilt is my first big big paid commission quilt. So, another reason to be grateful and happy. I love making stuff for others. It's such a nice conversation between me as an artist and the person wanting a special quilt. Making special quilts for others is definitely something I want to pursue. The name of this quilt is 'Let's be Lighthouses.' It tells the story of finding a safe spot to land and having something in your life to guide you to a save harbour. Be it a person or a quilt ❤️. This quilt is made from scrap fabrics I saved from the trash. Also, the quilting is done by hand with quilting thread and embroidery thread. The design is made by me. You can check the video for a full explanation. → Do you have something in life that guides you to safety when you need it?
