  • It's Chrrrriiiisssssssstmasssss!!! ❄️🎄🛷 Well, it is in 70 days.⠀ ⠀ I'm guessing all the makers and sellers out there are well into their market and shop planning. Here's my Public Service Announcement for you lovely ladies (and fellas):⠀ ⠀ Remember to buy Christmas decorations for your brand!⠀ ⠀ Investing in a small selection of Christmas decorations for your shots is a great way to add subtle(ish) visual cues for your customers. Start stocking up now, shoot in early November and have all your Christmassy content ready for the big ol sales rush.⠀ ⠀ Because we both know that you won't have time to sort this in December.⠀ ⠀ This pic is from a trip to @caillou_shop in Geneva from January this year. I've waited 10 months to share their amazing baubley ceiling 😍⠀ ⠀ --⠀ ⠀ #studiocotton #bristol #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent⠀ #marketingtips #smallbusinessmarketing #socialmediamarketing #marketing #marketingonline #marketingstrategy #marketingagency #mktg #digitalmarketing #christmas #christmasshopsmall ⠀ #productshot #styledproductshot #stilllifephotography ⠀ #girlbosslife #smallbusiness #shopsmall #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesslove
  • I forgot my glasses today. I say forget, I was only the other side of my garden gate when I realised and didn't want to go through the faff of unlocking and locking the house again.⠀ ⠀ It turns out that my eyesight isn't as good as I thought it was, so I'm struggling with everything on screen.⠀ ⠀ I'm going sketch out some new worksheets & cheatsheets, cut up some old magazines for brand moodboarding workshops and hope that lasts until after lunch. Please send suggestions for businessy things that don't require great eyesight!⠀ ⠀ --⠀ ⠀ #studiocotton #bristol #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent #creativelifehappylife #creativitymatters #communityovercompetition #createveryday #makersgonnamake #creativeentrepreneur #herestothecreatives #thenativecreative #blogging #blog #businessblogger⠀ #girlbosslife #smallbusiness #shopsmall #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesslove #smallbizsquad #freelancewisdom #lessworkmorelife
  • I'm alone in the studio again and determined to be ultra productive (and not spend all day Insta-Storying like normal).⠀ ⠀ So today I'm going to streamline the CSS on our website, create a new Instagram landing page, and update our automated emails.⠀ ⠀ Or I'm going drink a lot of tea and perform overly emotional lip syncs to Lorde tracks. Could go either way really.⠀ ⠀ --⠀ ⠀ #studiocotton #bristol #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent #dowhatyoulove #shemeansbusiness #yourdreambiz #hersuccess #smallbusinessmatters #smallbusinesshelp #smallbusinesstips #smallbusinessuk #bloggingtips #blogging #blog #businessblogger #creativelifehappylife #creativitymatters #communityovercompetition #createveryday #makersgonnamake #herestothecreatives #creativeentrepreneur #thenativecreative
  • Obligatory #worldmentalhealthday post coming up. ⠀ ⠀ I spent a little while this morning wrestling with whether or not to share something today. On one hand, I hate how 'mental health awareness' is batted around without any real depth, but on the other hand, I feel my personal mental health experiences could be useful to someone, and so to that one person, here's my (shortened) story.⠀ ⠀ I suffered with depression for most of my adult life, from around 14 to 30, my mental health was in the pits. I kept expecting to grow out of it, for my health to improve on its own with time - but this pish doesn't work like that.⠀ ⠀ I became healthier when I started being more selfish. Improving mental health means improving our own environments and experiences to be more nurturing and nourishing. ⠀ ⠀ When I focused on the simplest things that made me happy, rejecting all the daft stressful crap, and praising myself for good jobs no matter how small, I started to get to grips with my health.⠀ ⠀ As terrible as most of us are with self care, I think we could improve how we care for our immediate community too. Acts of kindness and support from our family, friends, colleagues, employees and strangers are the little wins we all need to help prevent or begin the escape from mental health conditions.⠀ ⠀ So start helping yourselves, and start helping each other a little more too. And if you ever want to talk about how shitty it is to have a breakdown under your desk at 3pm in a busy office over an inconsequential email, HMU.⠀ ⠀ --⠀ ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #studiocotton #bristol #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent⠀ #creativelifehappylife #creativitymatters #communityovercompetition #createveryday ⠀ #makersgonnamake #herestothecreatives #creativeentrepreneur #herestothecreatives #thenativecreative⠀ #plant #plantpot #bristolinbloom #houseplants #botanical #plantfilledhome #plantlover #plantsmakepeoplehappy
  • We here. We still here. I adore our little studio in the centre of Bristol - it's a stunning spot with unbeatable views.⠀ ⠀ Unfortunately, we also outgrew the space months ago, and have spent most of 2018 on a quest for a larger location where we can reopen our photography studio and host wonderful workshops for (and by) small creatives businesses.⠀ ⠀ Oh how naïve I've been, it turns out that securing a new space is actually a big pain in the tuckuss. So although I don't have the exciting update I've wanted to share for weeks, I'm posting this pic to remind me to be grateful for the lovely little room we have now.⠀ ⠀ --⠀ ⠀ #studiocotton #bristol #mycreativebiz #beingboss #wearethecreativeeconomy #indiesinbristol #bristolbusiness #marketingagency #indieinbristol #bristolindependent #girlbosslife #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #smallbusinesslove #smallbizsquad #lessworkmorelife ⠀ #dowhatyoulove #shemeansbusiness #hersuccess #smallbusinessmatters #smallbusinessuk ⠀ #creativelifehappylife #creativitymatters #communityovercompetition #createveryday ⠀ #makersgonnamake #herestothecreatives #creativeentrepreneur #thenativecreative
