Photo shoot in London


GCSE time in our house.  This means many things!

"Mum I need to get this.  Mum can we go there."

Recently, to my delight, Nathan told me he needed photos in London.


St pancras

I love London.  I love Photography.  We took the tripod,  both DSLR cameras and set off on the train for the short journey into London.


Getting arty with sharp lines!

Eros, Picadilly Square

Man it was so so cold.  We had to stop and shoot, then walk fast to get the blood pumping to warm us up.  Stand and shoot again.  Yet it was fun.  I had to remember this was Nathans project and I must let him see the things and how to adjust the camera to get that shot.



Picadilly Circus

The Mall, leading to Buckingham Palace


While he was busy setting up the camera angles, settings and focus, I would take a similar shot just on my iPhone.  These I share with you here.

If I am lucky enough I may be able to get my hands on those photos he has taken and share them with you here.  Just to show that the image in front of you is one thing, using the technology to make it even more beautiful is another.

I love the fact that we are all now budding photographers these days.  Prior to having our phones as cameras, pictures were becoming a thing of the past.

Do you love surfing and nosing everyones photos?

I sure do!

Typical london. Red phone box and Big ben

As the light began to fade, we saw the start of the Golden Hour.  A time where typically you see photographers setting up the best shots.


The London Eye and River Thames

Creepy or Fun?

My son taking his photos
Super proud of my children.  They turn 16 soon.  I simply cannot believe where that time has gone.  We are going to have a lot of fun celebrating their birthday. Lots and lots more photos to come for those ones.  Make sure you hop back to check those out!

Meanwhile sending much love as always

I'm changing things with blogging - you can too!

Do you want to change things with blogging?

I've already wished you all a happy new year.  But how is your 2016 going so far?  Do you have a feeling this year will be all you wished for?

If not, why not?



Likelihood is,  you aren't taking the action steps needed to get into the flow and create the belief that you need and want to make your 'dreams come true.'

You know me.  For years now I have been learning little nuggets of information:
* Being blown away with the information

* Deciding to store that knowledge away in my headspace

* Share it here with you guys

* Little by little allowing it to change my beliefs.

The Law of Attraction is a funny ol' thing.  It's almost like a staircase.  You go up the first step and then onto the next.  The book "The Secret" may have you believing you just 'jump' straight to the top.  Yet I know through experience that it definitely is a journey.  And this is the great part!

Initial euphoria of thinking 'wow I can do anything' has settled down (taking a few years though) and now I am left with the true inner peace and knowing that all I have learnt these past few years have brought me to this place of finally believing.

Suddenly I can see people all around me doing what I would love to be doing as my living.  People who are making a difference and making a living doing it.  You've heard this so many times through loads of 'woo woo' stuff and even subscribed to the newsletters.  Yes, me too.  This is definitely not a criticism.

Yet the 'click' or the Aha moment as Oprah calls it has happened for me very recently.

How? What happened?

I found a group of like minded people quite by accident and I listened to what they were speaking about.  They had a mentor who was talking basic lingo.  Giving them practical steps to take.  Leading them to a place that with hard work and dedication they could too make their living making a difference.
No mention of meditation or visualisation (I DO still believe in all that, totally).  This was refreshing.

I naturally visualise and meditate every day now.  Perhaps we have to learn that first before we can take action on those steps.  Now, don't get me wrong, I thought I was taking action.  But it wasn't with that determined 'knowing' that Tony Robbins speaks of.

So what changed?  I joined a FREE Facebook group full of like minded people who were showing me what they were doing.  None of them bragged, or talked figures, yet I could tell by the interest they were getting in their blogs that they were where I want to be in three years time.
From there, I learnt lots.  Then I decided to invest in myself.
Already, I have learnt so much more about Keywords, driving traffic, using social media (and I thought I already knew a lot).  I'd realised that now is the time to make this investment in myself and my future business.

Skyrocketing at a speed I could never have achieved without this new knowledge, I'm thrilled and excited for the future.

Why do I want this?  Please subscribe to my blog to find out my story next time and why I HAVE to make it work.  Without question.

Wishing you much love as you head into your dream year of 2016.

Louise xoxo

Want to get life goals on track? Out of your head and onto paper!

If you are like me, you have massive goals for 2016.

Plus, you like making lists and writing stuff down in order to get things away from being Mrs Spaghetti Head (or Mr).

Taking the bull by the horns I have just ordered the most gorgeous planner for this year.  I previously thought it would have been expensive but it was only £14...ish.  Take a look 

Let me know if you order yours and how you get along with it. I will blog more about it so make sure you follow along on this blog and my youtube http://www.youtube.com/louiseusher as I will create a video review for you.

Once again, see the link here

Wishing you the best in health, happiness and goal setting this New Year

Louise xoxo
