… I’d be running their socials 💁🏼‍♀️

I absolutely love working with historic buildings. In Scotland, there are so many passionate people caring for, restoring and reinventing old properties.

Capturing stories as old as the buildings themselves through photography, copywriting and artwork is such a privilege. It’s all about highlighting the character and magic of the buildings and transferring that feeling to online audiences.

I have a background in history 🏰 having studied Classical Civilisation and I’ve visited hundreds of castles, stately homes and historical sites. For me, it’s all about finding new ways to help attract visitors, build their excitement to visit again and make their experience as memorable as possible. This in turn helps businesses thrive, secures profits and allows the buildings to be preserved for another generation to enjoy 🌸

📲 If you’re looking for support with photography, content creation or social media management for a heritage property, I’d love to hear more about your project.

If I had a quid for every time someone asked me, ‘do you do weddings as well?’ I would be Richie Rich rich…

Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love looking at wedding photos and gorgeous newborn shots… It’s just that I have chosen to specialise in photography for businesses.

You see, often you’ll meet a marketer who hasn’t got much of a background in running a business or you’ll meet a photographer who doesn’t have much experience in branding… I’m completely different in that way. I’ve worked my way up through retail until I was a Store Manager, then I became a Sales Rep, managing a call file of 120 stores. After that I worked in FMCG for massive corporations and then I left to run my own successful, award-winning business.

I have a wealth of knowledge about little and big brands and I know what’s required to make your own business a success. On top of my business experience, I have spent the 8 years since I qualified in Marketing, working on all different projects.

By focusing exclusively on businesses, I’ve been able to develop a strong combination of marketing, branding, copy-writing and photography skills that truly benefit others.

Could I photograph a wedding? Probably…

Would I rather spend my day helping a local business attract more customers and building a strong brand? Absolutely.

If you’re looking for family photos, I’m probably not your person. But if you want to build a brand that people remember, we should have a chat ☕️

What actually was the weather last week?! ☀️🌧️

As I covered a couple of hundred miles on the road over the last few days, the weather was so changeable. One minute it was warm sunshine and the next it was absolutely pouring!

As a self-employed marketer, travelling to meet clients face-to-face is one of the most important parts of what I do. It’s not just about turning up for a meeting, it’s about experiencing a business first-hand and learning about the person or people behind it. I like to see how a business works, what drives the business owners and what makes them and their brand unique.

Whether I’m visiting a growing business with big ambitions or supporting someone taking their first steps, I genuinely enjoy becoming part of that journey. Seeing confidence grow, goals being achieved and real results taking shape is one of the most rewarding parts of my work 🤩

So bring it on weather, I have the waterproofs, the sunglasses and the weather-sealed camera. Let’s do this. 👊🏼

This week I’ve been thinking about the questions people ask me or the things that are said during meetings…

📸 Stock Photographs is a big topic. People think that stock photos elevate the look of their business BUT that’s not really true. Stock photos might give you that elevated look straight away but they don’t tell YOUR story…. and your story matters!

Did you know that marketing agencies in the city rely heavily on using stock photography for rural brands? 🙄

You and your business deserve beautiful photography to share on your socials and website so you can share your real business life! ✨That’s what truly elevates your brand✨

After stock photos, the conversation usually turns to the fact that I offer professional photography alongside marketing services. Accessing affordable, flexible and good quality photography is really hard, especially in rural areas. That’s exactly why I do what I do! With nearly every client I meet I’m reminded of how badly needed the combination of services is.

🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m often asked about what it’s like to work with me… and it’s a fair question! People want to know what they’re getting.
The answer is, I don’t strip away your identity or try to change anything about who you are or what your brand stands for. I spend time with people, I visit every business I work with, I learn about families, brand history, triumphs, setbacks, processes, limitations, dreams and then I gently collaborate. As my understanding of a brand deepens, I focus on creating results-driven marketing and photography without ever making a business owner feel like they are no longer a part of the process.

I’m very lucky to receive beautiful comments about my marketing 💻 and photography 🏞️and every single bit of feedback makes me feel so grateful to work with such amazing, inspirational people.

📲 If you have any questions for me, send me a message!
