Some bad news.

Spinal problems are more than just a pain!

As a few of my customers may know, I have been suffering with back problems for a while - however within the past year the problems have worsened and I've been under a variety of treatments - physiotherapy, manual manipulation, MRI scans, painkillers... and it culminated in an unfortunate visit to the hospital recently.

A car accident 3 months ago further worsened my condition and I am now headstrong in a legal case with no end date in sight.  I am under the watch of an occupational therapist and have not been to my lovely little part time job since the accident.  I have been told under no circumstances must I work, and must relax with no additional strain to my back.  This means that I've not been able to drive, traveling as a passenger can be agony, walking everywhere takes twice as long as it should for a woman my age, but most importantly I cannot photograph.

This week I've been in hospital again ahead of my "key" treatment on Saturday.  Seriously, everyone - if I could photograph you all, I would.  If I could convey the pain I'm in on a daily basis, I would.  I have voicemails, e-mails and text messages mounting up on my business accounts which I cannot answer as I have no idea when I'll be back on my feet.

I am so sorry to you all.

But please, if you are wanting a FIERCE photoshoot, and do not mind waiting for my recovery period to finish, send me an e-mail and I'll contact you when I'm well. I am hoping to contact an old photographer friend to perform shoots in my studio on my behalf, but he has a full time job so this is unlikely.  However it MAY be a possibility.

Much love to you all, and wish me luck for tomorrow.
