Free shoot, free pictures… is it all just free?

by admin | Jul 1, 2016 | Family, Lifestyle photography

I urge you to read this before booking a free or cheap photoshoot with anyone - not because of the pictures you will get, but because of the process you will experience... If someone offers you a £25 Mulberry handbag you most likely assume it is fake. If someone...

You can book onto either of those events from the home page of the website (at the bottom), and the April tickets are also out. If you know anyone expecting a baby, please do let them know. As always, there really is only the £10 charity donation and nothing else to pay. Such a mad time to be pregnant and giving birth, so having just one tiny little positive event like this, have been a big deal for the Bumps (and partners) last year 😊 PS: This is from the Dec.

I WILL get back to everyone, I’m just super slow… Enjoy the weekend, take lots of pictures 🥰 This is one of my “A picture a day in January” which I do every year. I love doing it every year, but this year is amazing, I can shoot all day, not just in the dark before and after school. You can follow my pictures every evening in my stories 📷 . . . #harbslocal #mahapicturedesk #capturelife #documentinglife #homeschooling #mumofboys #lockdown #lockdown3 #covid19 #documentingeveryday #oureveryday #thebeautifuleveryday #happyweekend #leicestershire #leicestershiremums
The Start Strong event (today & tomorrow) has of c The Start Strong event (today & tomorrow) has of course had to change, and my part is all out for now. However, @nickymassonglobal is able to run her goal setting session this SATURDAY 9.30am online… We asked everyone who was booked, and most have chosen to move to a live event after lockdown, which means there are spaces for this event on Saturday. I will be on the session on Saturday, I definitely need my ducks in a row… Everyone who booked for pictures are of course also being rearranged, so you are welcome to book a double ticket still, and we will do the pictures when we can. It’s just £49 for the planning or £89 for planning & pictures. Half our normal prices 😉 Link in bio . . . #goalsetting #lifegoeson #theshowmustgoon #planningsessions #goalsettingsession #planning2021 #2021planning #onlinegoalsetting #onlineplanningsession #onlineplanningworkshop #harbslocal #leicestershirebusiness #ketteringbusiness #womeninbusiness #womensupportingwomen #surviving2021 #leicester #leicestershire #kettering #northamptonbusiness #northamptonshire #leicesterbusiness

First 2021 issue of the beautiful @maha_magazine is now online (on their website), and it has my first feature full of tips about capturing the start of the year. You will be able to pick up a hard copy in shops from tomorrow. PLEASE join in and use the #mahapicturedesk so we can see what you are creating 🙂📷 If you follow my stories you may have noticed that I am doing my “picture a day” again this January, and as I unexpectedly find my self home schooling this week, these pictures will be vastly different to previous years… I can’t say it enough, this is a time to document. And doing some kind of “picture a day” project it a great way to find a flicker of purpose and make you focus on little things you are grateful for and would like to be reminded of in the future… I also published a blog post (on my website) with some additional tips if you feel the need to dig deeper.
