I thought I’d do one of those introduction posts, so I can tell you a bit about me and you can tell me a little bit about you 💛 I’d love to know who’s stopping by.
So if you’re new around here, I’m Freya 👋🏼 I’m a photographer living in East London wi… https://t.co/CtNmmGSong

Strange times, hey? I’m fluctuating between feeling confident everything will be ok and panicking about what the future will bring. Feeling both overwhelmed and underwhelmed at the same time.
Very strange times.
But I’m grateful that now we are isolating… https://t.co/A21UN0hjEI

The more I live in this world the more I begin to believe that unless you are one, the strength of a woman is simply beyond comprehension. Happy International Women’s Day.

Beautiful Pakistan. How I miss this place - it’s a country where I’ve always felt deeply at peace. I’ve noticed the countries where I feel the most at home, they are the ones I return to again and again without even trying. They pull me back all on their… https://t.co/r1vZbwQ33b

This already feels like the 15th month of 2020, not the second. I can’t say life lately has been dull, but I could definitely do with a nap - which is saying something because I honestly hate to nap.
Our poor little Rumi has had three hospital stays in s… https://t.co/U39S8sQsAe

One dream I had when I was in the thick of learning to be a mum in Rumi’s first year was to put together a photography book with excerpts on different mothering strategies from around the world. For example, this mum in Pakistan living in a brick kiln, w… https://t.co/1Y9aekaOAu

Happy birthday to this beautiful pup, eight years old today ��️ We got her as a two year old, poorly socialised and afraid of her own shadow. Today she’s the most loving creature on the planet and never tires of hunting for cuddles from anyone who will st… https://t.co/5eh3OvvsTU

Slowly slowly I’m making the transition from full time photographer, to mum, to full time photographer AND mum. Guys, it’s so tricky. I mean I knew it would be but I didn’t really know... you know? But I was wondering, would anyone be interested in heari… https://t.co/1yHMiqOc1E

Happy New Year!!!! I couldn’t think of a better way to end 2019 - in a beautiful country, family, amazing food, amazing weather, and all the good feelings. And my best girl by my side 🧡. I’m beyond excited to see this new year come around, it’s going… https://t.co/669Zy8inrC

[Freya @freyadowson]

Last year felt like I ended the year skidding towards the finish line face first. I was sick, I was a new mum just trying to figure it out, and I was mostly just getting through each day. 2019 has been really hard, it’s not been the worst but it’s been a… https://t.co/QVOmoPKi0m

Where is my baby going?💔 Back to a simpler time, living on the lake and not worrying so much. What is it about living in a city that just keeps you on the edge all the time? Do you get like that? I need to feel my feet in the dirt on a regular basis … https://t.co/N5SiiheHNy

[Freya @freyadowson]

The countdown to getting back to work is on! January 2020 🙌🏼 After lots of false starts I think we’ve finally found childcare for Rumi 🙏🏼 and everything is falling into place. I’m itching to get back to work like you wouldn’t believe!! I’ve been impatien… https://t.co/GDgdrJwZyM

Dreaming of far away places and feeling a bit restless these days. Rumi starts nursery soon and I’m definitely feeling conflicting feelings but at the same time I’m sooo ready to be working again.

Finally back home in London and working hard to preserve the calm of this beautiful place. It was sad to leave but part of me is happy to be home, even if we are now living next to TWO building sites 😩 Can we move now please?!
