Photography and Mindful Presence
Photography as a way to seeing differently
Mindful Photography workshops inviting you to slow down, get curious and see the familiar with fresh eyes
About me
After completing a degree in photography, I spent 20 years capturing interiors and gardens—until life took an unexpected turn. Health challenges forced me to slow down and to shift my focus inward. During this time, mindfulness and inner work became important supports in my daily life, helping me stay grounded and present. Photography, once a career, evolved into a more contemplative practice—a way of seeing with presence and intention. This journey gave birth to Seeing the Now, where I combine my love for photography and mindful presence.
Photography gives us a reason to slow down and pay closer attention to what is around us. Through simple, creative exercises, my workshops encourage curiosity, exploration and a more open way of looking—following what catches our eye and allowing the photograph to emerge from the act of looking.
There can be a quiet joy in noticing the beauty of the ordinary—the things we might usually walk past without a second glance. Photography invites us to appreciate what is already here, creating space for wonder, gratitude and a renewed appreciation of the everyday.
The more closely we look, the more there is to notice.
Collaborations & Partnerships
Seeing The Now welcomes opportunities to collaborate through both photography and mindful creative practice. Alongside Mindful Photography workshops, I undertake photographic commissions for private and public gardens, estates, and organisations, creating images that celebrate the beauty, character, and quiet rhythms of the natural world. Whether facilitating workshops or making photographs, my work is rooted in slowing down, paying close attention, and revealing the unique qualities of a place.
