  • Aligning Your Brand Strategy

    Back In November, I attended a captivating talk by Carly-Soulful Strategy on aligning brand strategy, with moms in business.

    Selecting clients who resonate with your brand is pivotal.

    It’s crucial to heed your inner voice and silence those who doubt your capabilities.

    Crafting and sharing your brand story not only imparts insight but also fosters intrigue around your business.

    During the session, Carly encouraged us to pinpoint values aligning with our brand and narrow them down to a core five.

    My selections:

    • Creativity: Constantly generating fresh ideas for capturing people and concepts.
    • Connection: Actively engaging in numerous networking events to build meaningful connections.
    • Equality: Providing services fairly and ensuring accessibility to everyone.
    • Motivation: Thriving on high motivation, allowing for exceptional productivity when focused.
    • Uniqueness: Embracing individuality, as I believe authenticity is a cornerstone in business.

    Creativity emerged as my top value, given its central role in my work as a photographer.

    I’m curious to learn about your brand values. If you’re eager to delve deeper into aligning your brand, Carly is an excellent resource. You can find some of her resources at www.carlycowell.com.

  • Take Time To Relax

    It’s always good to take the time to relax and have a holiday.

    I do this a few times a year and here are a few reasons why you should too:

    Taking a break from work can help you to relax and recharge, which can in turn lead to increased productivity and motivation when you return to your job.

    Physical health is another reason to consider a vacation. Getting away from your regular routine and spending time outdoors can help to reduce stress levels, improve sleep quality and boost your overall fitness.

    And of course, it’s always nice to have a change of scenery! So, whether you’re looking to boost your career, your physical health or your mental wellbeing, taking a holiday could be a great idea.

    So, what are you waiting for? A little break might be just what you need!

    Here’s just a little snippet of how I spent my last trip away:

  • How do I manage my workflow effectively as a freelance photographer?

    As a freelance photographer, one of the most important things I can do is manage my workflow effectively in order to ensure timely and high-quality photos are sent to my clients .

    This means I have to prioritize my tasks, and stay organized. One way to prioritize my workflow is to break down my projects into smaller tasks, and then tackle the most important or time-sensitive ones first. This can help me to stay focused and avoid getting overwhelmed.

    Being flexible and adaptable is something that is necessary when maintaining a creative workflow as sometimes things can happen that can’t be planned for.

    Getting regular feedback from other photographers and also those who aren’t photographers is also something that’s beneficial to your productivity as a freelance creative.

    Staying organized is the most important thing when maintaining a efficient workflow. This means having a system for storing and organizing my files, as well as staying on top of my communication with clients is the top priority.

    By following these tips, you can make sure that your workflow is efficient and that you’re able to deliver high-quality work on time.
