How great is it that the sun is starting to shine again!  It felt like a long winter and I’m excited to be back hosting outdoor brand shoots this month   Anyway, I wanted to come and talk about how even though I’m always chatting to clients and business owners, it can sometimes feel a bit lonely as a photographer which was why I set up the Brand Photographer’s Lounge…. I was reminded of this recently when I went to a wedding supplier meetup (yes I know, I’m not shooting weddings anymore!) and I got to catch up with lots of old friends and colleagues, including photographers and I re ..read more

Hello!   Throwing it back to the summer where I met and photographed the fabulous duo Amy and Lucy of the podcast “Oh For Foodsake” and before I hand you over to Amy to give us a bit of an insight into the business, I have to say that these two embraced the colour!  You read a lot of advice online saying that you should shy away from bright colours and bold patterns on a photoshoot and I call BS!  These two ladies bought all the colour and patterns and I just love the impact it had on their images.   We photographed in a beautiful shoot house / AirBnB that the ladies were s ..read more

Hey   I had a shoot recently where she knew she needed images for her business but didn’t really know how or where to use them once she got them, so this post is for you Hun and for any one else out there who wants to know how to make those photos work REALLY hard for you and your business!   So first things first, you are going to want to download them and get them organised…  Ideally have them saved in a couple of places so you have a back up, having them in Google Drive is a good idea as then they’re accessible on the go and easily shared with your team if you have one.  ..read more
