It has been almost two years since returning back home from the most gorgeous and chilled retreat photographing the beautiful Rhiannon in Bordeaux in the South of France.

Here is what I wrote down about what I loved about the retreat on my last day as I sat in the hammock.

“Seeing Rhiannon's journey - she looked like a pro from the moment she welcomed us. Holding space for all us ladies. Giving us everything that we have craved.

Walks. Meditation. Yoga nidra. Learning about yin and chinese medicine. Permission to relax. Wisdom from all the ladies. Well thought out classes. Vegan food. Beauty. Swimming pool. Time to read. Being in nature. Staying in a room with french doors haha. Eating meals on the terrace with all the ladies. Feeling amazing and happy & having the most amazing job in the world.

I also felt so safe, so relaxed. I never feel secure leaving doors unlocked etc.”

Life was really busy back then and it was so amazing to have all these feelings, this break and to have time to learn new things.

For many of us we have had a chance to slow down for the first time in a long time and to learn new things and get out in nature but if this has not been the case for you I would highly recommending checking out Rhiannon’s online retreats and her podcast “Powerfully Gentle” all about slowing down and teaching us rest is not a dirty word.

Since this shoot we have also had an autumnal shoot in Rhiannon’s home in Oxfordshire in 2019 and I look forward to our next shoot next month.

All our photo shoots are beautiful no matter what the location as Rhiannon’s gentle energy shines through in all of her portraits.

Seeing these photos bought back such happy memories. I seriously think I have the best job in the world.
