This year has ended on a high and we not even completely done. I have spent the last few days working for the BBC as part of their Bitesize/Career roadshow. Essentially going into schools and showing kids about job roles that aren’t necessarily the normal path careers: more story telling roles. Along side music producers, sports reporters, art therapists and more I have been asked questions like: whats my net worth? Do I have a pet? What would I tell my younger self? and so much more. I’ll be blunt: its was superb. Not just the sensational team who run the whole behind the scenes but the research done and the schools we met. I’d love to do more.
Also a sneaky little interview with the local newspaper alongside some good quotes from me is also a winner I think you will agree.
So now the year is ending and I wonder what 2023 will bring. I have seen prices rise in every avenue of my life, so I have worked out to add more value to my packages and streamline the back office with a new CRM and so much more.
2022 saw me win even more awards:
Portrait Photographer of the Year 2022 – Prestige Awards
Most Client-Focused Wedding Photographer 2022
LUXlife Customer Service Excellence Award 2022
I joined TikTok (yeah I know I am so late to the game) You can find me HERE. . The old YouTube channel grew rapidly with pretty regular videos so thank you for that support. I never thought I would be brave enough to be on video so much but I wanted to share helpful hints and tips on bettering your photographer but also to those starting out as a professional also. No paywalls. No gatekeeping. Just me and my bluntness and it seems people also loved it!
My clients have been varied and vast with so many returning which means my work is well received. Its so lovely to see clients come back and back again. I love it so much. I am still the UK Lensbaby ambassador but now in talks with another company for another ambassadorship of a different type. Fingers crossed.
BUT MOSTLY
I am especially proud of my clients as without you lot, I really wouldnt have my business so thank you! I raise a glass to you!
