Professional Organiser

Who has experienced this before?  How frustrating is it?  Of course by the time you have deleted some photos to make room for more, the moment you were trying to capture has passed. As you know we live by the motto - organise ~ utilise ~ enjoy and today we are exploring some of the benefits of having your photo life organised.

Recently a lovely client of ours suggested that we should write a blog and remind you all to be careful that you don't fall into the trap of over zealous deleting.  As you would know we are all for having a nice manageable sized photo collection by ongoing maintenance (including deleting) but today we want to talk about why we think Wendy was right... so step away from the delete button.

I used to hate the standard socialising question "so, what do you do?" I hated that people might define me by the work I did and they would 'put me in a box' based on my profession.  I also felt it was a lazy question given that it was likely they didn't really care what I did and also I felt there was a lot more interesting things about me above and beyond what I did every day at work. Now days attending lots of business networking events, it is the primary question I hear and I love to answer it.  One thing that always piques people's interest is telling them I am in the Storytelling Business and Australia's First Certified Photo Organiser.

If you were to ask yourself what would the majority of people's favourite photos be?  Weddings?  Babies? We would agree.  We also believe that most often their favourite would be the ones taken by professionals. For those that haven't been married or had children there are still plenty of opportunities to have professional photos in your life.  With websites and social media it is important to have great profile images.  Family portraits with your siblings are firm favourites with parents and grandparents and then there is my other favourite photos, PETS!  We think that at some point in your life everyone should have some amazing professional images taken. Today we (TFF) are asking Mandy from Bless this Photography (BTP) some questions about how to prepare for a professional photo shoot for you and your PET.

Respect, responsibility, resilience - the holy grail of things most parents want to teach their kids. I asked myself how can I find ways to build these with my own children. Ways that are easy, engaging and interesting. In this blog I talk about 3 ways we believe that PHOTOS can help demonstrate or teach children three essential life skills.
