A new camera lens called for a mini product shoot with three beautiful female inspired typography prints made specially for those International Women's Day / Mother's Day gifts!
Welcome to the Lavender Line Photography family little 40mm lens, I think we will get along perfectly! I’ve been a big fan of the Nifty Fifty for a long time now, it being my main go-to lens when it comes to my photography work, but I wanted to test myself and my projects this year with a new lens and the Micro 40mm seemed like the perfect fit for all things product photography and travel wise.
Here is to the fun and adventures near and far that this lens brings my small business.
P.S. Does the 40mm have a nickname the way the 50mm does?!

Happy Simply Scandi Sunday! ✨
If you have followed me for a while now then you will know that I am a huge fan of Simply Scandi magazine and really look forward to each new edition coming out throughout the year (best way to spend that first Sunday morning of the new season!)
A big dream of mine as a photographer has been to get my work into publications, something that I was very fortunate to have happen last year with some of my product photography work. It was seeing these publications that pushed me to make 2025 the year that my photography print work have its moment too, photography prints that have made their way to new homes around the world.
Two Lavender Line Photography best sellers : Whitepark Waves meets To The Pier
I can’t tell you just how special it is that for my first photography print publication it be with Simply Scandi magazine and having not one, but two features in there! Seeing the magazine for the first time while going through the airport to visit two of my biggest cheerleaders was an unforgettable moment and one that this small business owner will not forget! 🫶🏻
To The Pier - Ballycastle, Northern Ireland
Whitepark Waves - Whitepark Bay, Northern Ireland
I couldn’t resist this being my first blog post of 2025 and marking this big moment with a mini photoshoot, it’s not every day that you find your work in your favourite magazine! So, here is to stepping out from those comfort zones, taking a chance and following those dreams!

“You've got to get up every morning with determination if you're going to go to bed with satisfaction” - George Lorimer
That feeling of complete satisfaction when you finally tick that big job off the to-do list!
As I mentioned in an earlier blog post, I can be the worst at putting off the photography work needed for Lavender Line Photography because my attention is needed elsewhere within the business or I run out of time from one week to the next. So, I decided that enough was enough and that this would be the week when I finally put that long awaited job to the top of my work to-do list… and I am very pleased to say that I can now finally tick a product shoot with my Mindful Moments Coasters off the list!
Mindful Moments - a must have photography accessory for your favourite mugs and glasses! A coaster with purpose, encouraging you to : Breathe, Relax and Seek Everyday Magic!
I’m not sure if it was a lack of inspiration that kept this shoot on the back burner, but once an idea came to mind I couldn’t wait to get stuck in and photograph these beautiful coasters, a product that has always done well for me at craft markets, but one I would like to make available online too. I mean who doesn’t love the idea of some sunset vitamin sea and some words of wisdom to accessorise their favourite mug or glass?!
Mindful Moments Coaster : And Breathe
Mindful Moments Coasters were created to help give that sense of mini escape with that first cup of tea or coffee in the morning and that evening glass of wine. To take the time out to just : Breathe, Relax and Seek Everyday Magic! These coasters also make for the perfect workspace accessory, a way to brighten up your desk area with a beach scene, and help inspire you when things might feel a little overwhelming. A Mindful Moment to put yourself first!
Mindful Moments Coaster : Seek Everyday Magic
Mindful Moment Coasters are now available for purchase on Etsy, the perfect touch of North Coast vitamin sea to gift yourself or that someone special, don’t miss out!
(Also available for purchase at @Storybox)
‘Melt, Pour & Enjoy’
As briefly mentioned in my last post, I recently had an exciting product photography shoot with the fabulous Purscents, a sustainable candle business that encourages us to breathe new life into our empty jars with their beautiful nature inspired scents. Not only are you helping to repurpose and help the environment with your Purscents purchases, but you have the added fun of pouring your own candles too, something that makes it so much more personal and something that I couldn’t wait to do!
It seemed only right that ‘Rise N Shine’ be the first candle I make and photograph given that Lavender is its main ingredient along with Lemon and Bergamot, a match made in heaven if you ask me! A quick read of the instructions and I was ready to get to work!
Step One : The placing of the lead free candle wick to jar bottom, ready to bring Rise N Shine to life!
Step Two : Place compostable refill pouch in the microwave for two minutes and Rise N Shine is ready to pour!
Step Three : Once set, your new candle is ready for lighting, bringing those beautiful natural scents into your home!
Step Four : Easy to extinguish, leaving a beautiful aroma around the home while looking pretty in its surroundings!
Coming from a completely creative background I couldn’t wait to get stuck into this product shoot. I found the making process very simple, as well as satisfying too knowing that these Purscents compostable refill pouches mean that one less candle jar will go to landfill. A candle business that not only encourages creativity in the form of taking charge of your repurposed candle vessel, but makes sure to help protect our planet is one that gets my vote and one I will highly recommend time and time again!
Here is to a Summer filled with Purscents!
P.S. Don’t forget that Product Photography packages are available with Lavender Line Photography, helping bring new content to your small business!

Goodbye May, Hello June!
Summer season is finally here and although it feels more like Winter has returned with the wind, rain, hail and cold spell that has decided to hit, I am excited for a Summer season of adventures and some new opportunities along the way!
May has been a month to remember with my first ever Aurora Borealis surprise sighting, a visit to the Ulster Museum to see two of Caravaggio’s paintings back together again to celebrate the National Gallery’s 100th year. A day trip to Edinburgh, a city that I had not properly explored before but enjoyed every action-packed minute off it, and a lovely 36 hour trip to London to celebrate ABBA Voyage’s second anniversary with Benny and Bjorn, keeping to that premiere weekend / first year anniversary / waterloo 50 and now the second anniversary tradition!
Although the photography print side of the business has been a little slow on the build up to Summer (Etsy seems to be another platform suffering with the algorithm these days) things have still been busy at Lavender Line Photography. I find that when one side of the business is a little slow it means I can focus on the admin side of things that I have been putting off as well as photographing bits and pieces of my own work which at times I am guilty of putting on the back burner… hello to that never ending to-do list! May also brought two exciting small business shoots, one a celebration with my lovely small business friend, and another working with a new small business that I will post about next as it is important to me to support the small business that I work with.
So, here is to June and what this new month will bring to Lavender Line Photography! What’s on your June / Summer 2024 cards?
‘A night sky filled with magic and wonder’
Just like the northern lights, a very limited series with just 8 unique prints ( 2 of which have sold already ) will be available for purchase this Friday! The perfect keepsake for a night to remember, when Northern Ireland met Northern Lights!
Coming to Lavender Line Photography Friday 24th May!

A special card marking the date and coordinates will be included with each photography print.
8 one-of-a-kind limited edition photography prints at the ready to mark your 10th May Northern Lights moment!
‘This scene feels like what I once saw on a screen, I searched aurora borealis green…’
May 10th 2024 : A date that so many of us will remember thanks to the very special light show that mother nature unexpectedly treated us to!
A big bucket list wish of mine has been to see the northern lights, something that I thought would happen some place Scandi in the thick of Winter. Never did I think that I would get to have my first northern lights experience straight from my back garden in Spring, but what a dream come true it was!
With so much negativity in the world right now, it was so lovely to see social media timelines filled with excitement and beauty. A simple moment that made us all stop what we were doing, look up and appreciate this beautiful planet of ours and all that it has to offer! A night that I will always remember, when the sky became beautiful shades of dancing lavender!
