☀️ A little summer reminder…

I give myself permission to step away from social media for a while.

No pressure to post every day.
No worrying about algorithms.
No feeling guilty because I haven’t shared what I’m doing.

I just wanted to enjoy the summer. ❤️

To be present with my family and friends, drink my tea while it’s still hot ☕, going to the beach, making memories with the kids, on holidays and their sports and a 16th birthday for Lily! switching my brain off and having a proper rest.

Between running a business, being a mum and trying to keep on top of the housework, sometimes I need to remember that I’m allowed to just be.

My business isn’t going anywhere.

Instagram will still be here when I get back.

And actually, I think giving myself some space might mean I come back feeling more creative, more inspired and, most importantly, more like me.

So if you’re a small business owner feeling guilty about taking a break…

Take the break. ❤️

You don’t always have to be productive.

Sometimes resting, living and enjoying your life is more important. 🌿☀️

I will be back in full force in September, but I'm just easing myself back in. My diary is open for Sept/Oct as I know many of you are already thinking about Christmas 🎄 🙈 just drop me a message!

Enjoying the last few weeks decluttering... one of my favourite things to do... anyone with me??

Father's day is fast approaching and I know so many of you have gorgeous personalised gifts for the men! Just like these beautiful handmade cushions from 😍👌🎉

✨️ Here are 5 tips for selling them online...

1. Show the gift in real life, not just on a plain background
Fathers shop emotionally too. Instead of only photographing the product on white, show it being used . A mug beside breakfast, skincare in a gym bag, tools in a workshop, or a personalised gift being opened. Lifestyle images help customers picture giving the gift to their dad.

2. Create “gift guide” style photos
Bundle products together visually to increase value and encourage larger purchases. Photograph items as ready-made gift sets with tags like “Perfect for golf dads”, “For the BBQ king” or “Last minute Father’s Day gift ideas.” This makes shopping easier and faster for customers scrolling online

3. Use people and hands
Images with human connection usually perform better on social media. A simple hand holding the product, someone wrapping a gift, or a child handing it to dad instantly makes the image feel warmer and more relatable. It stops products feeling too “catalogue”.

4. Photograph for vertical social media first
Most customers will see the products on their phone. Take some images vertically with space for text overlays so clients can add phrases like “Order before Sunday” or “Father’s Day Gift Guide.” Think Instagram Stories, Reels covers and Pinterest-friendly layouts.

5.Create urgency with seasonal messaging
Don’t just post a product photo , add purpose to it. Use captions and imagery that remind people Father’s Day is coming soon. Include packaging, gift wrapping, cards, delivery deadlines or “limited availability” messaging in the photos themselves. Seasonal urgency helps people stop scrolling and buy now rather than later.

Try these out and let me know how you get on.
Happy photography!

“I hate being in front of the camera…”

Honestly? Most makers and creatives say this before a shoot.

But your customers connect with *you* just as much as your product.

Natural, relaxed brand photos help people trust the person behind the business — not just the logo 🤍

It’s been a little quiet around here lately… but behind the scenes I’ve still been creating away 📸✨

One of my recent shoots was with returning client Sharron from Molly & Me Candles photographing her beautiful new natural skincare range.

There’s something so special about working with clients as their business grows and evolves, and getting to create fresh imagery that reflects their brand so perfectly.

These new images are now live across her updated website, helping showcase the care, detail and natural feel behind her products 🤍

I know showing up online consistently can feel hard when you’re running a business, but professional imagery really does make such a difference — helping your customers connect with your brand before they’ve even made a purchase.

Thank you again Sharron for coming back to work with me again. I always love bringing your ideas to life ✨(ps. I'm taking the credit for the exfoliating balm as I asked her to make me one.... and it's now on the website!! My skin feels amazzzing after using it only a few times!!)

New around here? Hey 👋

Let me introduce myself…

I’m Denise — wife to Ryan, mummy to Lily, Chloe & Jake, (and Olly the dog!) Plus the face behind the camera 📷

My business has two sides to it…

On one side, I capture real, honest moments for couples and families — the kind you’ll look back on for years to come 🤍

And on the other, I work with creatives and business owners to help them show up confidently online through strong, intentional visuals — whether that’s through branding shoots, video, or practical workshops.

I feel most at home around artists and creative souls (I’ve an art background myself), so anything handmade or thoughtfully created has my heart 🤍

Lately, I’ve been expanding what I offer — moving from photography into video and hosting practical workshops too. I love learning new skills, bringing them into your sessions, and then sharing them with you so your visuals keep getting better and better.

Fun fact… I LOVE the beach… but not the sand (or glitter 🙈)

I’m a Virgo ♍️ through and through — organised (mostly), practical, and always tuned into the people around me. Although… I’m definitely a disorganised organised person — working on that one 😂

I'm a great auntie to 4 gorgeous tiny humans (I know, I don't look that old!!!) 🙈😆

I love drinking tea ☕️ eating sweets 🍬 having a massage and relaxing at the coast 🌊 when I can (even if it is working, I'll take a trip to the beach any day!) So I am blessed to work with people who love and can supply me with all of the above too!

Tell me something about you — or let me know if we’ve anything in common so I know I’m not alone 😊

Stop! Don’t pack away your product setup just yet… 📸

If you’ve taken the time to style your beautiful products for a photo, take a quick video too! 🎥

It only takes a few seconds from a few different angles, and suddenly you’ve created extra content for another day.

Use it for....
✨ A Reel
✨ Instagram Stories
✨ Behind-the-scenes content

Two pieces of content from one setup. That’s a win for busy business owners!

Little tricks like this help you show up more consistently online without creating more work.

💬 Do you usually take photos, videos, or both when creating content?

Happy 2026 Everyone!!

I took a little step back from socials over the Christmas period 🤍 Time to rest, reset and breathe.

Now I’m back feeling refreshed, inspired and so ready for 2026!

If you are new here - thanks for coming along with me! Here's a few things for you to get to know me...

🤣 I'm a mummy to 3 and wife to 1
🍫 I love chocolate on anything! (Galaxy all the way!)
🙈 I'm vertically challenged 😭so you may see climbing up on anything to make me taller so I can take photos (sometimes I bring my own step!)
🌊 I love the beach but hate trying to get sand of my feet!
📷 I love taking photos of people who hate getting their photos taken... (that's about 99% of people!) I do love a challenge!

If we agree on any of the above then take it as a sign I am ready to work with you!!! Lol

There are lots of new ideas, creative plans and exciting things happening behind the scenes this month ✨
From new packages to brand-new digital downloads, it’s all coming together. I'm very excited about it all and I will share it all very soon..!!

My diary is now open if you want to start 2026 with strong, intentional visuals for your brand.
