A workshop for quiet, heart-led photographers

August 23, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Live what you love: a workshop for quiet, heart-led photographers.

After the whirlwind of 2015, during which I relocated all the way to the shores of the Atlantic in Cornwall, and when there was no time for a workshop, I’m so happy to let you know that Live What You Love workshop 2016 is happening in October! If you want to wake up every day… Keep Reading

Aniko & Anthony | Together

March 11, 2015 · 2 Comments

Aniko & Anth we our real couple at a recent mentoring session, and the four of us had such a good time that our time together pretty much turned into a full-on Together Session. Even though it was still a little bit chilly, you could definitely start sensing spring in the air, and we even found… Keep Reading

Sandra & Stefan | Together

February 19, 2015 · 4 Comments

Last week, at a Her Lovely Heart mentoring session, I demonstrated how to direct a couple with Sandra & Stefan. The weather was absolutely horrendous, but also a good reminder that you don’t need to let the circumstances dictate the outcome. I love how much joy Sandra and Stefan shared with me and my student,… Keep Reading

Live What You Love Workshop Class of October 2014

November 3, 2014 · 4 Comments

Last week we gathered for another Live What You Love workshop with the loveliest bunch of people from near and afar. It was a brilliant day of sharing and learning and laughing together, and I couldn’t have hoped for a better group of people to talk about building a business around your passion with. I always… Keep Reading

Live What You Love Workshop Class of July 2014

August 11, 2014 · 3 Comments

The idea for the Live What You Love workshops came not from looking out into the future trying to figure out the next big idea, but rather looking inwards and really listening to what kind of environment I myself would most like to learn, or teach, in. With the previous iteration of my workshop, mnoo… Keep Reading

Live What You Love workshop 21st of July

June 17, 2014 · Leave a Comment

In case you haven’t heard, my workshops and training resources have gone through a bit of a rebranding. I retired the ‘mnoo school’ brand, and all the training I offer can now be found via the Her Lovely Heart store. As the first evolution from mnoo school, I am giving a pretty special and intimate… Keep Reading

California dreamin’

December 13, 2013 · 9 Comments

Can you believe it, it’s only 18 days until we hit 2014! How crazy is that! Before time completely runs away from me, and Christmas takes over, I thought I’d better blog some images from California. Here’s a collection of snapshots from the Beloved Collective Festival + Adventure Always, and of our mini road trip… Keep Reading

mnoo school workshop class of October 2013

November 15, 2013 · 3 Comments

This year’s mnoo school workshop took place last month, and it was so much fun. My dear friend Ed Peers returned as guest speaker, and this year we decided that he would play a bigger role and talk a bit more widely about the craft side of things, so that we’d have a better balance between business and… Keep Reading

Samantha & Simon | Beloved Seminar

October 3, 2013 · 4 Comments

Last week I headed to the other end of the country, as photographer Zenna Barry had invited me to come and give my introductory seminar on the Beloved interaction technique to photographers in the North West. It was all worth the epic road trip, as we had such a lovely group of people all excited about what Beloved… Keep Reading

I am so excited to announce that the 2013 mnoo school workshop will take place in Surrey on the 14th and 15th of October 2013. The amazing Mr Ed Peers is joining me once again as a guest speaker, and we have all sorts of exciting new things planned for year’s attendees. You can read about last… Keep Reading

Sharon & Trevor | Beloved Seminar

May 17, 2013 · 13 Comments

Recently I was invited by Damian Burcher, a wedding photographer based in the Midlands, to come and give a little introductory seminar on Beloved to photographers local to him. We ended up having quite a nice turnout with people coming from further afield as well. It was such a lovely group, open to new ideas and clearly excited about… Keep Reading

Life {as an Artform} London 2013

May 7, 2013 · 7 Comments

This post comes a bit later than it should, as for some reason I just didn’t get around to sorting out my pictures from Life {as an artform}, which I hosted again this year, until now. Looking at the images of the frosty conditions we had at the beginning of April makes me feel like it… Keep Reading

mnoo school workshop class of October 2012

December 3, 2012 · 15 Comments

Writing this post has taken far longer than anticipated. Every time I’ve sat down and started thinking about what, and how, to write about the first ever mnoo school workshop, words have quite literally failed me. For me, there are so many feelings, challenges and triumphs associated with teaching that it’s hard putting it into words… Keep Reading

Beloved Collective Photography Festival 2012, Palm Springs

September 17, 2012 · 24 Comments

What an amazing time I had at the Beloved Collective in Palm Springs! I feel like my spirit was nourished, my heart filled to the brim. It was so good to see old friends, to turn some long-time virtual friends into flesh and blood, and to get to know so many new and fascinating people…. Keep Reading

Autumn full of inspiration

July 31, 2012 · Leave a Comment

As you might have already heard, there are some exciting things on the horizon for this autumn. I already told you about my workshop in the UK in October (there are still a few places left!), which I’m already looking forward to, but before that there’s something super cool happening on the other side of… Keep Reading

Life {as an artform} London 2012

May 5, 2012 · 11 Comments

Before I leave for today’s wedding, I just want to hold last week in my mind one last time. This was the third Life {As an Artform} workshop I attended, and the second time I helped to host it in London. Every year it becomes clearer to me how each workshop is really moulded by… Keep Reading

Life {as an artform} London 2011

May 5, 2011 · 8 Comments

I can’t very well let Jesh de Rox’s Life {As an Artform} London workshop go unmentioned on the blog. This was the second time Jesh brought his workshop to the UK (last year we were in Manchester), and this time around I had the honour of hosting the week with the lovely Penny from Tigerlily… Keep Reading

Life {as an artform} Manchester 2010

May 22, 2010 · 13 Comments

Sorry about the silence around here! For the last week I got to experience Jesh de Rox’s Life {As an Artform} workshop in Manchester (well, Macclesfield to be precise but hey), which meant I was pretty much out of action on every other front (sorry for the delay in getting back to your emails as… Keep Reading
