Nicola Muir Photography - The soppy, chicken loving gal behind the camera (and the mask)

I decided to update my About Me section on my home page, and it ended up being a little long, and figuring no one would ever read it, I thought ​I'd turn it into a blog post instead!

So here goes, here's a little about me...

​I have a beautiful home in Hampshire where I live with my partner - James, my cat - Jasmin and my three rescue hens - Penny, Betty and Rosie. I am blessed to have achieved my dream of creating a gorgeous, cosy, in-home photography studio which has become my absolute sanctuary.

If I'm not in the studio creating magic or tackling my editing pile then I'm probably either hanging out with my chickens, baking something delicious (that I will probably burn), getting lost in the woods, foraging for this season's wild edibles, jumping in the sea on a freezing cold morning, making friendship bracelets or day dreaming about how and when James will ask me to marry him!
I am an absolute softy, such a sucker for romance, kindness or anything remotely baby related. I cry A LOT at soppy videos, at the tv or even just at the sight of someone else crying.

And here's why I do what I do...
​
​I love to capture those truly wonderful moments in life, the moments that you have been thinking and dreaming about for your entire life and are now busy planning and excitedly awaiting.

These are your Beginnings. As you prepare for your new life of marriage or your journey in to parenthood, I want to be there to collect those moments for you because documenting your family history is so important! It is so easy to take hundreds of photographs on your phone each year, right!? but do we actually ever look at them? Do we print them? Will we be able to pass them down to the next generation or find them in a box on the loft in years to come? No, probably not.
​And that is a devastating thought.

I'm a memory maker, who knows how to make her clients feel at ease, encouraging their authentic, unguarded self to shine, whilst I capture those most important moments, documenting your story and preserving your little piece of history, for you, for now and for the future.   

​When you choose me to capture one of these moments, it is a new beginning for us too, I want to be there to document your next step in the future and the next part of your adventure, because you are about to make a lifetime of memories.
