Looking at Life Through a Softer Lens

Iconic local photographer Lesley Blom of Aislinn Photo Art is well-known in our community for her knack of taking beautiful pictures. A series of personal events and circumstances over the past couple of years have led her on a mission to finding more purpose and fulfillment in her work, yet at a slower pace.

A strong desire to connect with other women has set her on a path to find a way to help more local women embrace their inner warrior.

“I have felt an overwhelming need for many years to connect with other women I truly believe that the only way to encourage happiness is through connection To see that other women have similar struggles in life, whether it’s raising kids or looking after ageing parents, the struggle with peri-menopause (oh my god!) or just a wondering of what life’s all about, it somehow helps to know you are not alone. Life, sometimes it’s hard and instead of pushing this feeling down, wouldn’t it be incredible to lighten our load by spending time with like-minded women?” she shares in a post with her Instagram followers.

WARRIOR is Lesley’s latest offering and celebrates the changes that women go through in life as they experience obstacles and heartbreak, love and triumphs. In order to honour that journey with all, the aim is to help you celebrate all that you are, right here, right now.

“Laughter lines, weight gain/loss, silver hair, all of it We have got to keep standing up and realising how powerful we really are I can’t believe how much wisdom comes with age It is truly incredible All the fluff we once anguished over; it is all meaningless"
