Calling Aberdeen 🗣️

Next week, Marti⚡Social Media Marketing & Events ⚡️ and I are hopping on the train for the next Coffee + Chat Aberdeen session, where I’ll talk about how to make your brand photoshoot publication-worthy.

If you (like me!!) are keen to expand your audience outside of Edinburgh, this one is for you!

We even found bargainous hotel rooms because, let’s be real, most people aren’t staying on a random Thursday night in November 😂

And because it’s Marti, you know this event will be warm, welcoming, and a lot of fun.

Comment “ABERDEEN” for the link to book and I’ll see you there! 💪🏻

We have just one spot left for this Friday’s sauna session for business owners 💪🏻

The feedback for our first was just incredible; our wee gang told us they felt so comfortable, and soothed by the sauna’s goodness.

We spend an hour in the sauna, plus some time to unwind together afterwards, in a session that’s a nurturing, fun way to make business friends.

Here’s the info to join us:

Friday 30th October
9:25 am to 11:15 am
Meadowbank
£35 per person

DM myself or Sauna Culture UK to book 🙏🏻

The best things have happened when I got a bit silly 🤍

Over-ambitious, a little reckless, flying close to the sun!

Big goals let me move to my fave city, work for magazines, and build a business I absolutely love.

So here are 10 more ☝🏻

I’d absolutely love to know: what is one goal that feels a bit bold to you right now? 🤔

Next week, Studio Gently turns 10, and here I am pinching myself in disbelief 😂

So to mark the occasion, here are 10 of the lessons I’d tell you if you wanted to know how I’d got to 10 years 👉🏻

What’s one lesson you wish you’d known when starting out? 🤔

What’s coming up for my business, Studio Gently, this summer 👉🏻

(I’m most excited for the last slide!)

🌿 I’m hosting my first webinar of the year

If you are curious about why some brand photoshoots get published and why some don’t, I’m sharing what I’ve learnt! Comment “PUBLICATION” for the sign-up form to join us 📖

🌿 I’m hosting a giveaway!

Keep your eyes peeled this month because your girl is hosting a giveaway, worth over £700. Be sure to follow because I’ll be announcing it here 💪🏻

🌿 We’ll be connecting for some coworking

I love a coworking session, so I’ll be hosting a remote, free coworking session for my email community to join and get stuff done. Because sometimes the to-do list needs ticking off, even during the heat of summer!

🌿 I’m thinking about organising a sauna trip?

I’ve loved going to the sauna with my yoga buds, but I think a sauna session with some business kin would be just as fun! We can get to know each other while savouring the sauna goodness

🌿 I’m releasing my new podcast, Gently Powerful

I’m so excited that my podcast is nearly ready for the world, and I think you will love it too! It’s all about growing your business in a way that honours your health and values – growing gently but powerfully.

What are you most excited about this summer?!

This week I learned a big life lesson:

Just tell people what I really want 😂

Because I got a real taster that manifestation has merit last week!

I shared a LinkedIn post about my dreams for my brand photography business, Studio Gently...

And in it I mentioned wanting to do more public speaking in 2026.

Secretly, I was hoping for interviews, because I want to build things up a little!

Only for the lovely Marti from Wee Bit Social to offer me a spot at her Coffee + Chats event, doing exactly that 😍

We'll share more info soon, but for now, thank you so much Marti, I’m really excited!

And if you are in or around Edinburgh and looking for a interview or panel guest... I’m very keen 🤍

What's the best thing you've ever manifested? 🤔

One thing that's surprised me about refining my brand photography process:
ㅤ
The gentler I have made each photoshoot feel, the more confident my clients have become 💪🏻
ㅤ
And I can really see the difference in my sessions in Year 10 compared with Year 1 of my work 📸
ㅤ
Because I’m no longer rushing people, pressuring them to have answers they don't have, or to know what to do in an environment where I’m the expert.
ㅤ
If this has got you curious, I have just one spot left at my mini portrait day here at Arthur's Seat this month 🤍
ㅤ
Comment "MINI" and I'll ping you all the info, or head to the link in my bio for more 🤳🏻
ㅤ
I can't wait to nurture your business this November 😍
ㅤ
What do you do differently compared with when you started your business? 🤔

I’m not overexaggerating when I say that even just one hour of preparation will transform your brand photography results.

This is why a brand photoshoot is different from being snapped by your friend's iPhone 🤳🏻

In the latter, you have no time to settle into the moment and look like your true self, free from pressure.

But at a brand photoshoot, it's all about me doing the hard work before the session...
..So the day itself feels nurturing and fun.

AKA – the perfect photoshoot environment 😂

I bloomin love a bit of prep!

I adore doing my welcome workshop with clients, planning every element of their day in their photoshoot plan, and catching up in our pre-shoot calls.

What do you wish more folk knew about your industry? 🤍

14/11/2025

Your work takes place in a desk…

Yet here we are on our consultation call, chatting about which outdoor spaces would make sense for your brand 🌿

Especially for folks new to brand photography, it can be tempting to stick to indoor settings for your next session!

But I think every session needs an outdoor and indoor component, and today I’m sharing exactly why…

I think you will like this one 💪🏻
