Addie is simply the most wonderful person to work with. The thing that I valued the most was the time she took to really listen to what my vision was for my business. As well as that, she got to know who I was and what I was comfortable with and this was truly reflected in my images. When showing them to one of my clients/beautiful friends, they said "Wow, she really has captured who you are." I would recommend Addie to anyone who is looking for an authentic way to represent their business or special day. She is grounded, authentic, calm and professional in her approach. I will be using Addie for all of my future work.

WOW WOW WOW. Wish there was a 6-star rating. Addie is beyond 5. I was looking for a photographer for our micro wedding in Margaret River on Valentine's Day and the universe sent me this absolute super-star. As a designer I've Art Directed shoots with professional photographers for years and I know talent when I see it - Addie has a storyteller's mind, a cinematic eye, and captures images that have soul. We wanted relaxed candid images of the ceremony and guest (we got load of the) plus a few bride & groom pics in stunning bush locations but... the weather freakishly changed and it bucketed down (in Feb?!). What a unexpected delight that turn out to be - she pivot the plan, got amazing shots of us with an umbrella, hilariously brilliant pics of us posing by the front door, and then... out came rainbows!!! TWO of them!!! Honestly it was magical!! The shots Addie got are beyond what we ever could have imagined (and potentially award-winning). To top it off, the whole time she was shooting with TWO cameras! Digital SLR and old school 35mm!!!! She's a gentle maestro. Oh, and then... she posted us the most divine package of 35mm prints wrapped in vintage Japanese cotton, brown paper & string, and a handwritten letter with a wax seal! There's only ONE Addie, and I'm so thankful I found her 🙂

Addie is absolutely incredible as a person and a photographer. I could not have been more happy with the process and what she created. She has a beautiful way of capturing the layer of depth and meaning in moments. I will definitely be working with her again and love seeing what she produces in the meantime.

We had such a wonderful experience with our second family photo shoot with Addie from Fifth of a Second. From start to finish, Addie was professional, patient, and made us feel completely at ease, even with three toddlers she managed to capture beautiful shots. She was fantastic with the kids and captured natural, beautiful moments that truly reflect our family. All the photos are amazing! We couldn’t be happier with the results and will treasure them for years to come. Highly recommend - don't use anyone else in the South West Region!

When I think back to one of my most favourite shoots so far this year, I can't help but keep having Hestia and Hound come into my mind.

Owners Joy and Kristof invited me out to their truffle farm last April, in the rural town of Northcliffe, to spend an afternoon, night and morning with them to document their slice of paradise. 

They kindly hosted me in a caravan down the back paddock for the night, and fully embraced me so generously as a part of their family during my adventure with them.

The thing I loved about being able to stay overnight, was it gave me time. 

Time to duck in and hide by the fire between downpours,

To drink copious amounts of tea together,

To get the film camera out,

To share a delicious dinner around the fire together,

To go along on dog training sessions,

To catch both the sunset and the sunrise and see how different the farm light looked at both ends of the day.

To learn about the trees,

Time to share stories and interesting facts with me about a type of farming I knew absolutely nothing about. 

To have the time to wander and document the hustle and bustle on the farm, between truffle hound training sessions, duck shenanigans, buzzing bee hives and barefoot kids building cubbies...there was always something to be taking photographs of. 

I know you farming lot have time in short supply, but luckily it was just before the truffle season started, so J & K had a tiny bit extra to spare for me! 

------------------

Farms hold a special place in my heart. Our unsung hero's, quietly grafting relentlessly behind the scenes. 

If you are interested in having your own farm documented, please reach out to me.

There's not enough words in the world to describe the last few weeks... so I'm not even going to try! A trip of a lifetime, and an impossible task to fit more than 1% of it into a post here. I feel so deeply, deeply grateful for all the precious family time, and for all the memories made. The many, many miles travelled. The hugs, laughter, tears, the castles, swimming in the Irish sea in our undies, adventures with family & friends, long summer nights, weddings, nettle stings and delicious Yorkshire puddings! Rolled all together into one and snugged safe into the the most special part of my heart. 

But here's a handful of shots of my favourite person, in some favourite places!

- Dawn on The Shambles, York UK

- Bamburgh Castle, Northumberland 🏰

- Low Nook Cottage, Cumbria UK

- Giving GreyFriars Bobby's nose a rub! Edinburgh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

- Walking a stretch of Hadrian's Wall

- Watching the solar eclipse from St Bees, Cumbria 🌒

- Some bits n bobs around England & Scotland 🇬🇧

The jet-lag has been wrangled, and I'm back to work from tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to the rest of this year, and the start of the South West wedding season this month! Thank you so much to everyone for your patience with my slow response times in the email realm... you should have now received a reply from me, but if not, please do send another to bump to the top of my inbox!
I just love helping this fire cracker bring her visions to life!

I feel like i wait all year long for winter, and when it finally arrives I just want to stop and soak in every moment of it, deep into my marrow. Let it cloak me completely. 

Winter wraps me up, holds me snug, and I feel like I can breathe again. 

A deep exhale. A perfect excuse to jump into bed that bit earlier, wake up that bit later, squeeze an hour of reading under the duvet before the sun lazily rises.

Pots of soup and stew on the stove to nourish us all. Wooly socks and scarfs pulled out from the depths of the cupboards like old friends. That old jumper i bought last year, that I'd completely forgotten about. 

Games of chess as the fire cracks and the rain patters on the windows. The stream carving a new path through the field because the dams are too full. The wattles and Camellia's in full bloom. Bread baking and endless tea. 

Morning fog. 

Longer showers.

Sparkling dew drops.
 
The shafts of light that stop me in my tracks. 

The moss and the mushrooms, all gills and velvet.

It is the season i want to do both everything and nothing.

Any one else a winter lover? 😘

"I’m unsure where to begin, so I guess I’ll start by saying - if you are searching for a photographer who will capture you, or your business, or anything for that matter, in your most authentic, natural state, then you have found her.

Addie is an absolute dream boat to work with. Her intuitive ability to capture fractions of moments, to create stills that make you feel like you are right there, living in that frozen segment of time, is beyond comparable.

I have not yet seen the works of a creative who has an eye for detail like Addie does. I recently had Addie at my house for a photo shoot for my business, and genuinely remember some moments where the thought ‘I wonder what she’s taking a photo of’ would cross my mind, and then upon being delivered the photos, I saw the exact thing she was taking a photo of and can say with complete honesty that they are some of my favourite photos (the ones I least expected). And I truly believe that’s because Addie has a natural ability to see beyond what most humans see.

Addie has well and truly mastered the art of noticing, and has become a master of her craft, with an entirely unique and unmatched level of creativity expressed through photography. Her dedication and devotion to imagery shines through so effortlessly.

I could not recommend Addie enough, she will forever be my first choice when it comes to hiring a photographer."
