I am a full time photographer, mother, wife, and country girl born and bred. Based in Wagga Wagga NSW I am also up to travelling further afield.
I like chasing the natural light, I have a pretty relaxed feel to how I shoot. I don’t want people to feel the pressure of traditional photography, that’s pretty much my philosophy.
Relax and enjoy.

Your image is not only buy provigil 200 what content that you show, but its how you act and conduct yourself. Your clients don’t need to be EPIC .. you do!
We are photographers so blogging so much as one image a month should be easy and it will help you reach out to Google and your clients! make sure you don’t include the blog images on your social media.. but tease them with something else. All images posted need to have your search words eg.. Christchurch Wedding Photogapher_ Vineyard Wedding.
GOOGLE also loves a google review! so ask your people to review your business. Remember you need to be logged in with a google account.
GET SOCIAL and USE YOUR PHONE making excuses that you don’t have time for your social media will change once you start playing on your phone and get comfortable with talking to your clients.. make a cup of coffee, have a sit and have a search through these hashtags (on instagram or facebook)
#christchurchweddingphotographer
#christchurchphotographers
#nzweddings
etc ! are you on it! GET ON IT
Don’t forget, if you are wanting to use your REAL images, you need to put them in a dropbox folder/or similar on your phone.
LASTLY..Remember to acklowledge your strengths and weaknesses, if you know you are really bad with words, take particular care or find a word mentor, that is.. a friend or someone who will read over your blog post for you. Social Media is an easy one, find a 15 year old!!!! But seriously, you can make online marketing work for you and your business, its just a matter of getting out there and doing it.
