A Month to Remember
August has been one for the memory books in our home. My beautiful daughter Izzy is getting married later this month (yes, the countdown is on and my heart is bursting).
We just celebrated her Hen’s weekend with her closest girlfriends and wow—what a reminder of how much we all need our girls.
A Hen’s Weekend to Remember
I actually lost my voice the night before—not from partying too hard like everyone thought (I was actually sick 🤭). Which meant I couldn’t say the poem I had planned for Izzy and her girlfriends… but don’t worry, I still shared it with them (and now with you!).
Don’t Forget Your Girlfriends
No matter how much you love your husband, you are still going to need girlfriends.
Remember, girlfriends can be your friends, sisters, daughters, aunts, grandmas, and even your mum’s friends.
Keep contact with your girlfriends and make more each year.
Here is what I know about girlfriends:
- Girlfriends bring meals and scrub your bathroom when you need help.
- Girlfriends will help with your children and keep your secrets.
- Girlfriends give advice when you ask for it. Sometimes you take it, sometimes you don’t.
- Girlfriends don’t always tell you that you’re right, but they’re usually honest.
- Girlfriends still love you, even when they don’t agree with your choices.
- Girlfriends laugh with you.
- Girlfriends are there for you, in an instant and when the hard times come.
- Girlfriends listen when you lose a job or a friend.
- Girlfriends listen when someone breaks your heart.
- Girlfriends listen when your parents’ minds and bodies fail.
- Girlfriends cry with you when someone you loved dies.
My daughters, my sisters, my family, and my friends bless my life! As they do for you, my darling Izzy.
To you beautiful girlfriends here today: I know she is one of the most loyal friends you will ever have, so cheers to all GIRLFRIENDS!
Why Photograph Your Girlfriends?
So here’s your gentle August nudge: don’t wait too long to call, message, or hug your girlfriends. Book that coffee, have that wine, or just send the silly meme—it all counts. These women really do carry us through every chapter of life.
And of course… you know me—I can’t help but say: capture it.
The giggles, the weekends away, the multigenerational get-togethers. These are the photos you’ll treasure forever, long after the confetti settles.
You know how much I love photographing families, and I’d love to photograph you with your girlfriends too—because they’re an extension of your family.

Absolutely! Some of my favourite sessions include mums, daughters, sisters, and grandmas—it’s a beautiful way to celebrate the women who matter most.
