Hi there, I’m Henrietta.

I’m a dog mama, photographer and children’s book illustrator living nestled back in the hills of the Slieve Miskish Mountains on the Beara Peninsula in the west of Ireland.

A geologist and earth scientist by training (BSc), I spent nine successful years capturing love stories as a wedding photographer.

The challenges of 2020 led me to pivot again and explore my early passion for illustration, culminating in the illustration of a children's book in 2023, with more books currently in the works.

Farming is my true calling and constant source of inspiration, deeply influencing my creative work and daily life on the Beara Peninsula in Ireland’s southwest.

I love to grow veggies, bake my own bread, read books and explore nature with my doggos.

In addition to my creative pursuits, I manage 4 charming airbnb properties - a cozy farm cottage on the family farm, and three town apartments in the heart of the Beara Peninsula - offering our guests a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature’s beauty.

Follow me on instagram for more nature and doggo content.

Do you ever stop and wonder how different your life is from the one you imagined as a child? When I was little, I dreamed of so many things: a bustling city life, exciting adventures, and maybe a corner office and being my own boss. Instead, I found
Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much this little corner of the world has shaped me. Life on the farm isn’t just about caring for animals or growing things—it’s about learning to adapt, to trust the seasons, and to find be
