Rachael came to me towards the end of last year lo Rachael came to me towards the end of last year looking for some fresh images for her website.
She chose a mini brand shoot at the studio and with an outfit change half way through, she got a great range of photos!

Mini shoots are focused, intentional, and fun.

Perfect if you want a set of professional brand images without committing to a full bespoke shoot. 
⚡A reset. 
⚡A refresh. 
⚡A nudge to show up again.

Small shoot. Big impact.

My next mini shoot day is coming up! click the link in my bio for all the details...

🥹🥰🤩😍👌🫶📷🌵🥂🤸‍♀️

It takes me collating these end of year round ups to really appreciate how things have gone each year...
It's too easy to get caught up in the day to day that you forget how far you've come and what you have achieved!

I'd love to tag each and every one of you in this reel, but Instagram is a rascal for limiting things!!

So many wonderful Story Sessions
Three retreats, two abroad
Nineteen hug the cactus 🌵 meetups
Six mini brand shoot days
Two in person selfie workshops 
Three 1-1 photography workshops
Two mentoring 1-1s
And a big business birthday! 🎂

Looking forward to more of the same 2026!

How not look awkward in photos... part two! Move How not look awkward in photos... part two!

Move around! 

If you feel a bit like a deer in headlights 🦌, start moving around! 
It will take your mind off posing and help you to look more relaxed and less stiff!

Plus, it makes for great outakes and b-roll!

How not to look awkward in photos... part one! Do How not to look awkward in photos... part one!

Don't stand straight on.
Give your hands something to do - put them in your pockets or hold something.
Twist at the waist and lean slightly towards the camera
SMILE (as if you'd just seen someone you really like!)
