As autumn is coming to an end and the smell of snow is already in the air (50% chance of snow here in Lewes and I am keeping my cold fingers crossed), I am wrapping up a very reflective season in my life & business. This autumn I’ve spent time in deep reflection, dug into my notes, thoughts, past work, future ideas to find knowledge, insights, patterns and discover where and how to move forward. I have connected to my heart & intuition to find the answers to all my doubts, worries and questions. I have worked on my systems, my organisation and the day-to-day habits that allow me to show up more, provide value in the right ways and work deeper, rather than more. And now I feel ready to share again. I feel ready to create more, to show up more and to enter a more creative season. I do find that winter is quite a creative time for me. I am looking forward to all that I hope to share with you in this new season. As well as what inspiration and fulfillment this new season will bring me. Autumn taught me great many things. And amongst the most important ones is that we live, work and create in cycles and seasons. That it’s perfectly ok to not feel as driven, as creative, as productive or thoughtful as you did during a different season before. It is really true that there is a time for everything: a time to rest, a time to come together, a time to work, a time to adventure… However you are feeling in this season of your life - is ok. By living in tune with these natural rhythms & embracing the change in all things in our life we can live more meaningful and present lives. Because if our energy and focus isn’t where we want it all to be, it’s that something important is calling our time and attention. There is always more to learn about ourselves and something to discover. Allowing that to take its own natural seasons can bring us big revelations and allow us to become more in tune with ourselves. ✨🍁 What season are you in? How are you embracing it?

Weekly #makingthemostofyoursession Tip: Do what you feel like. ✨
One of the things I always encourage my clients to do is to move and keep moving. Forget the camera, forget poses, don’t worry about where to put your hands or which foot to bring forward. That’s not what makes for natural photos. We’re not shooting fashion & you’re not a professional model, so throw every idea you have about what looks good in a photo & relax, take a deep breath and enjoy your surroundings. I want you to just be you, behave as normal as you would if you’re just hanging out & enjoy the adventure. Besides, if at any point your elbow is facing me at a weird angle and I really want to get that shot the way it is - I will gently guide you to adjust and get more comfortable. As a photographer I always look to capture real moments and get my clients to enjoy the experience rather than just worry about the images. That’s my job! If you see a flower you want to smell or a puddle to jump over, or you feel most comfortable when you’re reading a book - go for it. You don’t need my permission, in fact - I’ll be all over capturing those moments. And if you do something spontaneous that looks great -I might just ask you to do that again or go with the flow and carry on capturing what unfolds. Because I’m looking for moments that look natural to you. And it makes for more variety & natural “poses”. In one client session we found that my client felt really comfortable looking back at the camera over her shoulder whilst walking ahead of me. So I got her to repeat that several times and it led to some of my favourite portraits of her - natural, relaxed, with a big beautiful smile on her face. Just what I look for! ✨👌🏻

As I’m waking up to sunshine this morning, I am excited about plans for the day. A good nature walk with a couple of friends. Just what my soul needs✨
I’ve been putting my phone away as much as I can to put some clear boundaries between work time and rest time. I’m still figuring out how to do that most effectively, so I am present here enough and fully switched off when I’m not working. What boundaries or soft rules do you maintain when it comes to social media?

Martha + Simon ✨This Love & Adventure Session is now on the blog (link in bio). And here’s what my lovely clients had to say about it:
“Aiste is a one of a kind photographer; intuitive, caring and with an incredibly warm presence - which really helped to make us relax in front of the camera. At points, we almost forgot the camera was there, which achieved the most perfect natural shots! She will also direct you when needed, but without spoiling the natural moments. On our shoot, Aiste skillfully played with the golden hour light, giving our photos a romantic, magical look. The after shoot care was as great as the rest of the service Aiste provided, we quickly received a few example pictures and her communication through-out this process was fantastic. We really love our photographs, as so do our friends and family! “ ✨🍁

Yesterday I shared my November Moon Letter. It was a long and honest letter all about the self-doubt, money and the difficult reality of working for yourself. It was honestly the most vulnerable letter I’ve shared and I had doubts about how it will be received. But it seems time after time I am proven that I have the loveliest, most supportive and encouraging community around me here on Instagram. I am yet to respond to all your letters & messages, but I am so touched by your kind words & encouraged by how much it seemed to resonate with you. I think I touched upon a topic that is so important and yet so difficult to talk about openly for many of us as it is wrapped in a lot of guild & shame. And it encouraged me to write, speak & converse more about it. We need these open conversations about the reality of building a business and working for yourself. We are all struggling with being surrounded by a constant high-light reel of other lives and we need honest, raw and open conversations of what life is really like for so many of us. So with this in mind I want to say thank you for your support and your heartfelt messages & emails. And I want to make a vow to keep talking about the difficult subject and the reality of self-emloyment, because through this process I do believe we can all become more confident, more empowered, and feel less alone when the times are hard! And learn to be more prepared, robust and confident in our futures. ✨

Is it too early to talk about 2019? I've never been one for resolutions. I guess I just know that I'm not as likely to keep up with them as I might hope when the excitement of a new year & a new beginning kicks in. But yesterday I was working on @taraswiger Map Your Business book, planning for the year ahead, my goals and how I am going to get there. There was a section that required me to write down where I wanted to be in 5 years. Then in 4 years. In 3 years. In 2 years. In a year. And I found myself a little stuck. A worry came over me that I didn't know what I wanted from my life! But as I wrote down a list of things I'd like to have or be doing in 5 years time I realised that what I wanted in my life boiled down to 5 simple things. And it didn't matter so much how they became part of my life, but that they did. And it's the journey over the destination that mattered. Those things were 1. Financial Security & Freedom 2. Creative Fulfillment 3. Adventure Freedom 4. Confidence & Calm 5. Community & Love. Those are my definitions of success, my North Starts, the life I'm working towards. It's not about whether I'll get to lead photography workshops one day or win awards, or be published in certain magazines, but about having the opportunities to do work that is fulfilling, to do what I love. It's not about if or when I will buy a home of my own, but a sense of stability, and a place to host my people and a space to create a family. It's not about how many countries I'll tick off my bucket list by the time I'm 5o, but the freedom to travel and experience adventure. It's not about how much money I'll earn, but a sense of security, independence and freedom to make choices and afford nourishing experiences. It's not about fitness or things, but feeling confidence in my life choices, in my self and a calm in my days - a balanced & fulfilled lifestyle. And I am aware that I am not without all these things, but it's about bringing a better balance, tipping the scales from lack, worry, debt and isolation to abundance, comfort, freedom, connection. So in preparation for 2019, I am not making resolutions, but I am working on how I will tip this balance. *continue below*
