It’s been a while, so I thought I’d gently reintroduce myself… because when we believe we can, wonderful things really do happen.
I’m Bryony. I recently turned 43, quietly, in my own way.
I’m a mum to two beautiful girls, and a fur mum to Smokey. Just under a year ago, I moved to Matlock and started again. After 21 years as part of a whole family, I’ve been navigating life as a single mum for the past two. I’ve found strength in old friendships, new connections, and being closer to my parents, because I wasn’t quite ready to do it all alone.
I don’t know if love, just for me, will find its way back again… but I do know I love, love. And right now, that’s enough.
These past couple of years have been about my children, creating a home, slowly renovating, exploring this beautiful part of Derbyshire, and pouring myself into my art. Creating, connecting, sharing, it’s how I’ve been healing. And along the way, I’ve discovered so many versions of myself I never knew existed.
Through my work, I still get to celebrate love, again and again. In fleeting moments, in art, in shoots, with couples and creatives. And for now, that feels not just okay, but truly beautiful.
When I’m not being mum or styling, I’m designing, creating, still working on my home and garden. I dance, I move, I read, listen to music and the birds, and walk for miles through the valleys that surround my little sanctuary, finding my peace and freedom.
Starting over in my 40s was never part of the plan… but I’m not finished. I have dreams of building a creative studio, of travelling more, and I’ve made some big decisions about the future of my styling from 2027, which I’ll share more about soon.
Thank you for being here, for following along, and for holding space for my journey. I can’t wait to share what’s to come this year.
With love, B x
