Paddy and the Dust Specks (sounds like an 80s electro band!). We are always giving ourselves a hard time for not cleaning the house as much as we’d like. But those thoughts go out of the window when that morning light comes in to highlight our slovenly ways 😉. #storiesoftheeveryday_wonder . . . . . . . #naturalchildhood #childhoodunplugged #littlefierceones #candidchildhood #childreenseemagic #dearphotographer #storiesoftheeveryday ##throughachildseyes #magicofchildhood #simplychildren #celebrate_childhood #lifewellcaptured #theheartcaptured #ourlightwithin #freerangekids #pixel_kids #aportraitcollective #lookslikefilmkids #talesofthemoment #thehonestlens #thatsdarling #writeyouonmyheart #enchantedchildhood #beunraveled #illuminateclasses #follow_this_light #britphotographerscollective
‘Sarah’s work reminds me of the over saturated memories of my childhood days’. I’ve been thinking a lot about these words from our friend @katelycettartist over the last few weeks. Me and Suze have been looking at our work, and the world we’re portraying in our images, and we keep coming back to these words from Kate. I spotted a post from @viveashphotography on @dear_photographer a few weeks ago that’s really struck a chord with me. She addressed colour in photos, and how life has become more muted and desaturated on Instagram. And when she mentioned about our children, and how everything is a bright mosaic for them to explore, it’s made me question our work. I think I’ve moved from those words our friend Kate once said. I think I’ve felt safer, I don’t know, maybe more accepted with more muted tones. When I look at cohesive feeds, I’ve felt really drawn to this look, I do really like it. But then I think about Olive looking back on her photos, and I want her to feel that kaleidoscope of colour that surrounded her, and for her to know that the grass was always green and the sky blue. It’s making me feel slightly nervous writing this if I’m honest. It’s almost like I’m learning how to see colour again, and I think shooting with film is helping this. I loved this shoot with Kate and Edwin, I was really pushing myself to capture more colour. I think it’s such an interesting, maybe divisive, topic to discuss. What do you all think? #storiesoftheeveryday_wonder . . . . . . . #naturalchildhood #childhoodunplugged #littlefierceones #candidchildhood #childreenseemagic #dearphotographer #storiesoftheeveryday ##throughachildseyes #magicofchildhood #simplychildren #celebrate_childhood #lifewellcaptured #theheartcaptured #ourlightwithin #freerangekids #pixel_kids #aportraitcollective #lookslikefilmkids #talesofthemoment #thehonestlens #thatsdarling #writeyouonmyheart #enchantedchildhood #beunraveled #illuminateclasses #follow_this_light #britphotographerscollective
We’re just coming down from our retreats week, still buzzing and reflecting, and making plans for the next week in autumn. And back to our family life, and these last few days, we’ve spent a lot of time at home, just being together. Reading, playing, and watching the birds from the attic window. We took little O up there for the first time the other day. We’re clearing a space by the velux window for us to write. We moved things around, dusted down the golf clubs and tennis rackets (will they ever be used again?!), and undid boxes from our year ago move. It feels like this space will be Olive’s in the future, so it was nice to introduce her to it. I know that she probably won’t remember these moments herself, but feel content that she’ll see the impromptu little photo shoot we had up there, and the time that Suze picked one of her own favourite childhood books from the shelf to read to her on her knee💚. And just to let you know, the Early Bird places for the next Capturing Childhood are now available (until this Sunday). We’ve put a link in our bio👆. My Mum is already planning which cakes to bake! #storiesoftheeveryday_wonder . . . . . . . #photographyretreats #workshopsglobal #photographyworkshop #photographytraining #dslrfilmmaking #theartofchildhood #sarahmasonphotography #yorkshire #learningphotography #storiesoftheeveryday #childhoodunplugged #theartofchildhood #candidchildhood #dearphotographer #wildandbravelittles #throughachildseyes #clickmagazine #magicofchildhood #simplychildren #celebrate_childhood #lifewellcaptured #illuminateclasses #theheartcaptured #ourlightwithin
Tea For Two - Diana. I’ve been speaking to Diana for a couple of years on Instagram, but it wasn’t until I met her at Mytholmroyd station last Friday night that I met her in person. Diana, known as @water_in_my_wellies on here, is an exceptional documentary photographer. Her work moves and inspires both me and Suzi. She embodies the true meaning of community to us, she’s so kind and thoughtful. Over our Capturing Childhood retreat weekend, which Diana came to, we sat down and had many conversations about photography, our approach, our businesses, and family life. We’ve been writing and saying how much we’re missing these chats. Our tea for two happened over two mornings. On the first, we had a foggy walk into the trees, still in our pyjamas. And on the second, we sat looking out over the valley, as the wind whistled around us and our hair danced! Diana got her first DSLR for her birthday back in 2015. Her first trip out was to Columbia Market, and she showed me her photos from this first outing. And then in 2016 she completed a 365 project, a photo a day for a year, and she really caught the bug. From then, she’s been documenting her own family life, and in 2017 started to offer this opportunity to other families too. Photography and art has always been her passion from an early age. Then she felt she took the ‘sensible’ route of ditching art for science at school. She told me that she always wanted to rekindle her passion with art again. Photography came from searching for that passion. We were lucky to have a shoot with Diana whilst she was with us, we love how she’s captured our family life💚. If you’d like to follow Diana’s beautiful work, do follow her at @water_in_my_wellies . There’s more from our morning teas up in stories today. Tea - 1 x Lemon & Ginger, 1 Yorkshire Tea, milk no sugar.
We have very understanding neighbours who don’t flinch when you knock on the door to ask to take a photo of their washing. . . . . . . . #storiesoftheeveryday #createcommune #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #makemoments #inspiremyinstagram #littlestoriesofmylife #alittlebeautyeveryday #visualambassadors #thecreative #follow_this_light #documentyourdays #thesincereststoryteller #dearestviewfinder #subjectlight #livecreatively #creativelifehappylife #aseasonalshift #alittlebeautyeveryday #illuminateclasses #dreamermagazine #talesofthemoment #the_imperfectionists #photocinematica #dreamermagazine #thefreelensed #thefreelensedproject #doubleexposure
Experiments with film. I guess film’s where a lot of us first started taking photos. I’ve been taking my film camera out again with me as part of my kit lately, and I am falling back in love with it. I don’t think I fell out of love, it was just laying dormant for a while! It makes me more considered taking a shot. We often say to people on our courses, to imagine that they only have 24 or 36 photos in their camera during a shoot, and really make them count. Olive loved the magnolia tree in Suzi’s parents’ garden when we visited recently. Those little fingers were so gentle with the delicate flowers (to start with anyway!). I’m going to be trying some different film stock over the next few weeks/months, and will post my experiments here. And someone else you might like to follow, who’s also rekindling her love of film, is @anniespratt. For every roll she shoots, she’s going to be showing her photos in a blog. And talking of blogs, I’ve put a link in our profile to a collection of shots from March’s Stories Of The Everyday theme - GROWTH. Such beautiful interpretations, thanks to everyone for joining in. Have a lovely Sunday xx . . . . . . . #storiesoftheeveryday_growth #photographingfamily #capturingchildhood #lifecloseup #candidchildhood #ig_motherhood #pbloggersuk #motherhoodunplugged #cameramama #talesofthemoment #motherhoodrising #clickmagazine #our_everday_moments #familyiseverything #momtogs #thefreelensedproject #twomums #createcommune #familytimeisthebesttime #artofvisuals #visualsoflife #ivfjourney #thefreelensed #alittlebeautyeveryday #aheadofthecurve #childhoodunplugged #follow_this_light #illuminateclasses #filmisnotdead #portra400
April, a month of new beginnings, a seasonal shift, the warmth of the sun on our skin. So we thought our Stories of the Everyday theme for April should be WONDER, and whatever that means, or feels like to you. We’re loving looking through all the different interpretations for March’s theme, which was GROWTH. Over the weekend, we’ll do our monthly blog compilation, but for now, here’s to a life of wonder. If you’d like to join in, just tag #storiesoftheeveryday_wonder.

Tea For Two - Kate. Someone running a fair few miles to share a thermos brew with me, a first for Tea For Two! A few years ago, after completing the couch to 5k programme, Kate fell in love with running. If she’s not painting beautiful landscapes in her light filled studio, you’ll find her discovering new landscapes in her running shoes! When me and Suzi moved up to Hebden Bridge 11 years ago, we kept seeing paintings from Kate. Suzi went to school with a Kate Lycett and wondered if it was the same Kate. Turns out it was, and our friendship has grown over these last few years. I asked Kate where she’d like to have her cup of tea, and she took me to one of her favourite views on one of the many runs she does. On the blue sky day we chose, the skylarks took flight from the grass, and it was such a refreshing sound to hear the curlews. Kate said that the sound of the curlews always signifies the start of spring to her, of hope, of new beginnings. The grass was a little wet and dewy, so I reached into my bag for something to sit on. For reasons that won’t fit in this caption, I produced oven gloves, and we settled down for our tea with our bums placed on each side! We chatted about Kate’s latest body of work and forthcoming exhibition, motherhood, and how different landscapes affect us. These 2 for twos are introducing me to new views too, and this was just stunning. And if anyone knows why there are letters and numbers carved into stones (as seen in this collection) on moorland paths, please let us know. Kate has spotted a couple on her runs. You can see more from Kate’s Tea For Two in stories and see more of her gorgeous work on her page @katelycettartist. Tea - PG. Milk no sugar.
We’ve been working with the lovely (and incredibly talented), @newstaircase on the look and feel of our newsletter. We’ve changed the name, and we’re now calling it The Monthly Brew. We’ve always seen the newsletter as a space where we can sit down virtually and have a chat over a cuppa, so the title seemed to fit ☕️. We’re giving it monthly themes too, sharing what we’ve been inspired by, stories from shoots, and news on retreats. We’re also about to launch our Capturing Childhood e-zine to all our mailing list folk. If you’d like to join in our conversations and have a brew with us, we’ve put the link in our profile 👆. Right, we’re off for a cuppa before our retreatees arrive, have a great weekend! x
