Tales of a Harrogate based photographer

Welcome to my blog! My little place in the giant wide web world to show you how I work as a Harrogate based photographer, what I do and above all why I have loved photography for as long as I have. I have been pretty quite with blogging over the last few years as a result of babies, toddlers and a pandemic (You know!!!!) As a matter of fact the last time I blogged was during the pandemic just as the world was about to open back up. Since then both of my babies have started school and it feels like our family is in the next chapter of life. Meanwhile I am now ready to share behind the scenes, how I shoot through all the seasons making the most out of different light and how I am helping many businesses with both personal branding and fresh imagery .

Equally I will still be sharing lots of beautiful families. Enjoy! Helen x
