🧡🧡

I used to work in management, and I loved it, I thrived in it and if you’d told me 10 years ago I’d be doing anything else, I wouldn’t have believed you. But then my son needed me in a different way, and the job I loved didn’t have room for the version of me that needed to drop everything at a moment’s notice.

So I tried to build something of my own, I trained as a nutritional therapist and I created a self-care subscription box for Mums. Both of them were mine, both of them mattered to me and both of them still needed me to show up every week.

When my son was unwell there was no pause button and the business didn’t stop needing me just because he did.

Tropic has been different because it’s genuinely built to flex around a life like mine, there are no monthly targets hanging over me, no stock sitting in my hallway, no overheads eating into what I make. I put in what I have to give that week which could be nothing and it holds because I’m not running the business alone.

I’m not going to pretend I’m earning big money because I’m not, what I do earn covers the extras, a weekend away, gifts for the people I love, more books than I probably need (guilty) and a discount on the Tropic products I’d be buying anyway.

It’s not a fortune but it is breathing room. 🫁

After years of trying to force a business to work around a life that kept changing shape breathing room is worth a lot.

If you are curious about how Tropic could give you some breathing space we have an informal information evening on Wednesday night (22nd) at 8pm. No pressure, come for a chat and see how it feels for you.

DM me for the zoom link or if you have any questions.

Much love
Nia

We crave simplicity more than we realise.

Our very being yearns for moments where everything can be stripped back, where all that's left is love, acceptance and the earth beneath our feet. No theatricals. No perfectly curated venues. Just us, exactly as we are.

You know that part of yourself. The part that says "I just want to run off into the woods."

The part that wants to feel the grass beneath her feet, that loves a wild wee, that wants to sleep beneath the stars and just be with her sisters. That part isn't dramatic or unrealistic...she's the most honest version of you there is.

These gatherings are simple. We ask the earth permission to hold us and she becomes our venue. Because the sun already wants to touch your bare skin, the moon already wants to dance with you and our sky full of stars...that's our disco ball.

This is what I get to photograph. And I will never take that for granted. ✨🌿

They say when you’re on the edge of transformation,
it can feel like everything is falling apart - that painfully uncomfortable feeling that nothing is shifting and nothing you do will make it shift any faster.
You just have to be with it for a while and trust.

Right now, my health is kicking my ass and it’s starting to get to me mentally.

Waking up each day hoping to feel better, when my body feels battered and bruised from something I can’t quite explain is beyond hard.

I’m very much a “get to the root of the problem” kind of person. Fix it. Understand it. Move through it.

But this time, that approach isn’t working.
I’m being asked to just… be with it and annoyingly, I’m a little bit impressed by that. Kudos to the universe.

Because if I’d broken a leg, I’d have a timeline.
A sense of when I’d be able to get back to normal.
But this?
This asks for something else.
Patience.
Trust.
Letting my body do whatever it needs to do.

So whether this is transformation,
a shift,
a release,
an awakening…
I don’t know.

And maybe it doesn’t matter because we all meet moments like this at some point where control slips a little, and we’re asked to soften instead of solve.

That’s the work.

Dear me,

I will be your rock.

A gentle reminder that every experience is personal.

It’s so easy to project what we think something should look like onto someone else…but that’s not the same as holding space for them.

Every woman I work with shows up differently.
There is no one way to do this.

Some arrive confident and ready to be seen.
Some feel strong until the moment comes… and then they shrink a little and need support to find their courage again.
Some get triggered and push back.
Some feel everything, all at once, in no particular order.
And all of it is valid.
Because this work isn’t about getting it “right.”
It’s a journey.
A deeply personal one.
And it deserves to be met with openness, respect, kindness… and care.

You can go to many photographers and receive good images, good value, a smooth experience but surely the point of being witnessed…
is to be truly seen.

To be met where you actually are.
Not where you think you should be.

So why settle for “good”?, for “nice”?, for something that looks the part but doesn’t quite feel like you?

The right experience should feel like:
wow… she sees me.
I see me.
And that changes everything.

My promise to you? I will always meet you exactly where you are and capture you in the same way.

Does this make you nervous or excited?

I’m awake.
I’m creating.
I’m smiling.

Right now that’s enough.

Returning shoots.
New stories.
Websites taking shape for heart-led businesses.
Macramé finding walls beyond my own.
Good people close.

I don’t document everything because I know I don’t need to.
The right work arrives, not because I push, not because I’m the best but because what I make is honest.

When the message matches the maker, there’s no chase, only movement.
And right now, it feels steady.

I'm grateful for what's around me right now.

Most people are waiting for transformation but identity is woven slowly.

Thread by thread. Choice by choice. Day by day.
