Share Six Blog Circle – January 2019 | Wide

Ceri-Herd-Photography-Wide-ICM-Beach

Happy 2019!

Welcome to another year of Share Six. To kick off 2019, the theme is {wide}: wide angle, wide open apertures, or wide open spaces.

The new year is supposed to be a time for looking forward, but I’m still looking back, reflecting on the events of the past few months and the places I’ve been lucky enough to experience over the past four years. When I thought about our theme for this month, I thought of {wide} in terms of breadth and depth. I was instantly transported back October 2018 and to the wild open spaces of Cape Cod:

30 Minutes in the Life Blog Circle | November 2018 – Cape Cod

Ceri-Herd-Photography-Hampshire-UK-Cape-Cod-Boardwalk-Beach

“Thirty Minutes in the Life” features ladies from around the world as we capture 30 minutes in our lives as mothers, wives, daughters, sisters and friends {and photographers}.  This is a blog circle so please be sure to visit the next photographer in the circle.

It’s been a while since my last blog post; a short while but time enough for a world of change.

A little over a month ago our lives were turned upside-down and, cutting a long and complex story short, my family and I are back living permanently in the UK.

With all the stress and instability that came from sudden and unexpected upheaval, photography fell by the wayside. As we settle into our new normal I’m hoping I can get back on track, and I’m thrilled that my return to blogging is with a new group of photographers, the 30 Minutes in the Life ladies. Each month I will be sharing a selection of images taken (yes, you guessed it) over the course of half an hour. This month I’m sharing images from our last-minute day trip to Cape Cod. I’d been to the Cape with my parents last October, but the three boys had never been. When you don’t have a deadline to do something, it’s harder to make that thing a priority, but I couldn’t leave our Massachusetts home without taking them there first. Fortunately we were able to find a free day amongst the chaos so we set out to make the most of it.

This 30 Minutes was the first stop on our trip around the Cape: Boardwalk Beach, Sandwich

10 on 10 | September 2018

Our crazy summer is behind us; now it’s just a blur of memories and images on a hard drive (most of which are still unprocessed, haha). But instead of dwelling on the happiness of what has been, I am looking forward and focusing my attention on something new.

The weekend before school started I dragged my family to the beach. That may not seem like such a chore but after a long busy summer, believe me, it was! I had a vision, a specific look for a specific image, that I wanted to achieve, so I was thankful they humored me. My initial short list included 165 images so I guess you could it was a successful trip!

My favourites are destined for a spot on a large public white wall, so for this month’s 10 on 10 I’m sharing a few captures of the kids (after they stopped sulking) and some of my almost-favourites. Gah, I love the beach!

Inspired by Life Blog Circle | July 365

July is long gone and we’ll be back to school in the blink of an eye, so it’s about time I share my images from July. It was a month of two halves: waiting to be home and being home, the home that is England. We spent precious time with so many loved ones. If you’ll watching carefully you’ll see a few of them in these images.

This post is part of the Inspired by Life Blog Circle. Please continue around the circle and support to my talented friends. Next up is the wonderfully talented Sharleen of Sharleen Stuart Photography. CLICK HERE to see what she has to offer this month.

Thank you for joining me for another month of images.

Until next time,

Share Six Blog Circle – August 2018 | Water

Two-boys-photograph-water-reflection-ceri-herd-photography-massachusetts

The theme at Share Six this month is {Water}.

We’ve been contemplating the future a lot recently. We don’t know where we’ll be down the road, but what I do know is that I long to be by the sea. Or a big lake at the very least. The ocean, the waves and the sand between my toes fill my heart with joy, with peace and respite from the daily grind. I want to walk the dog on the beach every morning, come rain or shine. Even snow. I want big views and big sky. And light. Give me all the light reflecting off the water and let it shine!

I’m travelling this month so I’m pulling a few recent beachside favourites from my archives. Maybe they’ll give you some inspiration for your own dreams or better still, inspire you to submit your own images with us! Post your {Water} images on our Facebook page SHARE SIX or to our Instagram gallery by tagging #sharesix and #sharesix_water. A new theme will be posted on 6th September.

That was six at the seaside but I’m throwing in an extra special favourite too, just because…. water.
