On todays podcast I am talking to Janine Fox from New Zealand. We are going into detail about her experience with IVF & miscarriage, and also her work with a charity which captures families going through infant loss.

Janine shares reassuring advice for families going through similar experiences, however if infertility, miscarriage and infant loss is a triggering subject for you, please do feel that you can skip this episode.

If you or someone you know is going through something similar, there are a number of organisations you can contact for support.

You can head to sands.co.uk - Sands is the leading stillbirth and neonatal death charity in the UK. The organisation exists to reduce the number of babies dying and to ensure that anyone affected by the death of a baby receives the best possible care and support for as long as they need it. 

You can also visit arc-uk.org - Arc is a charity that helps parents and healthcare professionals through antenatal screening and its consequences.

We really encourage you to reach out for support if you’re going through anything challenging in your life, whether that’s surrounding baby loss and fertility or anything else.

We’re sending you all the love in the world, and want to give everyone listening a huge hug after delving into this episode.

I'm back! After a little break in January to reset and re-evaluate, I am back with my first solo episode of the year.

This episode covers the 3 lessons I've learnt since running my photography business:

1. Respect your time
2. Get help when you're struggling
3. Only you can control your life

I cover each of these topics in detail and tell you my top strategies on how to feel more in control of both your business and your life.

In this episode, I chat with Jo Greenfield about her journey though IVF, a pandemic and motherhood. We discuss the ins and outs of her fertility journey, along with how she balances running her photography business alongside motherhood. It’s a powerful conversation that many of you may be able to relate to, and we encourage you to reach out to either or us, or your friends and family if you feel ready to talk about your own fertility journey and need some support.

This week I am chatting with Jessica Raphael, a lifestyle photographer who specialises in weddings. We are going to chat about her journey to achieving a better work/life balance, and her top tips for taking ownership of your business schedule.

Making your business work for you is a journey. You have to get it wrong before you get it right, and we hope that this episode can help to reassure you that it’s ok to feel overwhelmed, and that there are certain things you can do to help avoid this in the future.

On this week's episode, I chat to Aukland based photographer Renaye Mclachlan. Renaye specialises in newborn and family photography, and is a wonderful example of how you don't need a degree to be a successful photographer.

We chat about her journey, from photographing her friend's baby and buying her first camera, to starting to charge for photoshoots. We cover a wide range of topics including her main inspirations, her tips for social media and how to stay in your own lane without comparisionitis creeping in.
