When the threat of coronavirus took hold in the UK, it felt very much like a storm that would come quickly and be forgotten just as fast. (I remember joking as I left my office back in March, keyboard and laptop bag in tow, that we'd probably not be back for the rest of the …
Body Confidence with Beth (2.0!)
Hola hola! As alluded to in my last blog post, Beth Roach Photography and I recently got together for another body confidence photoshoot.
