When Creativity Leaves The Building When Creativity Leaves The Building 🧨Over the last few weeks my brain has been on fire; in a good way. In the very best of ways. Whilst I enjoyed the creativity burst, I was very mindful to go with the flow & enjoy the wave that had washed over me, but also be aware of the fact that the tide could go out at any point.

Personal Branding Photography Session Personal Branding Photography Session Felicity Kay reached out to me a few weeks ago to book a personal branding session and after our discovery call, I knew we were a perfect fit.

Stages of a Branding Photography Session Stages of a Branding Photography Session Stages of a Branding Photography Session During my initial chat with my clients, I wait for the line.

But have you ever wondered what actually goes on in the heads of my clients, before during and after

“Some days are dry, some days are leaky Some days come clean, other days are sneaky. Some days take less, but most days take more Some slip through your fingers and on to the floor. Some days you’re quick, but most days you’re speedy Some days you use more force than is necessary. Some days just drop in on us. Some days are better than others.
