Having Elena as a client is an absolute dream! 

And not just because of the super cool shoot locations! 🌞

She trusts the process (and me!) and she always brings so much joy and positivity to each and every shoot... and we have had quite a few!!

This is why having a personal brand works so well... your 'right fit' clients are drawn to you naturally. 
There's no guess work. 
They know they want to work with you before they even send that first email. Because they feel like they know you already.

Need some fabulous (and fun) story telling photos to help you uplevel your personal brand?

Let me know!

Some highlights from Hug The Cactus 🌡 Fife last mo Some highlights from Hug The Cactus 🌡 Fife last month!

@assertive_voices_ spoke to us about assertiveness and how to speak with confidence. 

We chatted a lot.

We drank coffee from @prost_abbothouse 

And I took some brand shots for the members in the gardens at @abbot.house 

Networking doesn't have to be a chore. It can be fun, productive and something you actually look forward to each month! Not my words... Cactus member's words!
Hello πŸ‘‹ It's been a while since I did an intro po Hello πŸ‘‹

It's been a while since I did an intro post. 
I'm always saying to clients that they should be doing "about me" posts regularly (at least every 6 to 9 posts on insta) but yet dont seem to have followed my own wonderful advice πŸ˜…

Anyway, here I am. 
A photographer of over two decades. 
An introverted, extrovert that loves a wee side kick and a gallop. 
Brilliant at making people feel comfy in front of the camera. 
With a passion for taking photos that show personality.

I have two teenagers and a cat called Steve

I'm growing out my pixie cut so definitely need a redo on my brand pics! Unless I cave and cut it all off...

Hug The Cactus - Fife 🌡 These are some highlights Hug The Cactus - Fife 🌡

These are some highlights from our April meet up in Dalgety Bay.

We had a lovely informal q&a session with @theabisea and @heathers_hub.

The venue @louiebrowns provided delicious scones and coffee and brilliant space with really lovely light.

Hug The Cactus | Edinburgh Our meet up was in the Hug The Cactus | Edinburgh

Our meet up was in the stunning @santucoffee Roastery!

We had lots of fabulous coffee (perhaps a little too much coffee πŸ‘€)
And of course, micro brand shoots for all the members!

Fife meetup is next Monday and there may be a space or two left!
