When I started blogging seven years ago, no-one knew what it was or why I was doing it! These days people ‘get’ blogs more but they don’t always realise what it is like behind the scenes, so I thought it’d be fun to show some real ‘behind the screen‘ shots to show what the life of a blogger is really like!!
Bloggers will do anything to get the best angle for their shot. Here, John from Dad Blog UK and I are on the floor getting a unique perspective of the kids playing tennis. Even though I got dust on my clothes and was more dishevelled than before I got on the ground, the shot I took never made it into this post after all!

I take photos of the food and craft projects I make. These are some edible flower ice cubes.
When you step back with the camera, you don’t get such a neat and uncluttered shot!
To help you get a neater shot, here’s a post I did on how to create an at home photo studio so you can make your own studio or lightbox.
I spend a lot of time at home on my own, I have a home office, but occasionally I get out for meetings! These meetings take place in trendy cafes, diners and hotel coffee shops:
At the Alchemist, Leeds discussing web analytics
I see my web guru rather a lot! Here we are in Frankie & Benny’s having a branding meeting!
There are also meetings at launches!
Bloggers go on lunch dates! Here I am howling with laughter with Vicki, Honest Mum. She was doing the peace sign with her hand, I was naughty and held my hand the other way around – hence the laughter!
Bloggers go on press trips!

We go to blogger events, here I am having fun with Kara from Chelseamamma.
We work at blogger events. This was a glitzy awards ceremony – the BiBs 2016 at BritMums Live. I wore a nice dress. Then I shuffled around on the floor hauling boxes!

We do street style fashion shoots!
But on some fashion shoots the clothes don’t fit!
I occasionally get the wider family involved. Here we are on a weekend break together. This photo is called ‘before’…..
This one is affectionally titled ‘after’!
I feature my kids all the time but they aren’t always willing models. Here is ‘before’…
…and ‘after’!
So is the life of a blogger as you thought it would be? Which was your favourite photo? I’d love to know in the comments and also head over to my Facebook page and ‘LIKE’ for more from JuggleMum!
