2024: A Year of Transformation
Check out the highlights below!
York and Sitges Wedding and Personal Branding Photography
Wow, what a year it’s been! As I reflect on 2024, I can’t help but feel proud of all the changes and growth this year has brought—both personally and professionally. Moving to Sitges, near Barcelona, has been one of the biggest shifts in my life. Alongside settling into this beautiful new home, I decided to focus my business on personal branding photography, leaving weddings as more of a passion project. But don’t worry—I still had the pleasure of photographing a handful of gorgeous weddings this year. And the good news? I’m still offering a select amount of destination weddings at amazing venues in Spain each year. So if you’re planning a Spanish celebration, let’s talk! I have 3 slots remaining for 2025 for weddings in Sitges and Garaf!
I also come back to the UK roughly quarterly and I love to book in some family/newborn/couple shoots during that time!
A Year of Change and Growth
Moving to Spain has been such an adventure—one that’s been equal parts exciting and challenging. Learning to navigate a new culture, meeting amazing entrepreneurs and small business owners, and settling into a very different way of life has had its ups and downs! Oh, and I’m also attempting to learn Spanish… slowly but surely! Pretty overwhelming, but definitely a good mid-life challenge.
What Made 2024 So Special?
So many moments this year stand out as highlights:
Working with inspiring clients: I’ve met so many talented, passionate entrepreneurs this year, and it’s been incredible to help them showcase their unique stories through photography. Seeing their businesses thrive with their new images has been so rewarding! And I’ve made some new friends along the way too.
Seeing the Impact of Personal Branding: I can’t tell you how much fun it’s been watching my clients use their new brand images to take their businesses to the next level. From updated websites to fresh social media profiles, I’ve loved seeing how these images help them stand out and connect with their audience in a more authentic way.
Beautiful weddings: Even though I’m not focusing as much on weddings anymore, I loved to still capture a few this year at some stand-out venues. Weddings will always have a special place in my heart, which is why I’m taking on a very select amount in 2025 at some amazing venues in Spain—so if you’re planning a dream wedding in here, don’t wait to reach out! I have 3 slots remaining!
The Challenges and Lessons Learned
With all the changes, there were definitely moments of trial and error:
Learning a new niche: Shifting from wedding photography to personal branding meant I had to step out of my comfort zone and learn a lot of new skills. I’ve learned a lot about how to connect with a new type of client and provide them with images that truly reflect their brand.
Balancing everything: Between moving, rebranding my business, and attempting to learn Spanish, there were definitely moments where I felt stretched thin. But every challenge brought new opportunities to grow, and I’m ending the year feeling proud of what I’ve accomplished.
Looking Ahead: What’s Coming in 2025
2025 is shaping up to be just as exciting! Here’s what I’m looking forward to:
More tailored branding packages: I’ll be offering flexible options to help you elevate your brand, whether you need a multi-location session, or just a few images for your website or social media.
Collaborations and workshops: I’m excited to work with more creatives and local businesses in Sitges and Barcelona through workshops, events, and photo shoots. Stay tuned for more opportunities to connect!
A few beautiful weddings: I’m keeping weddings a part of my business, but only just—2025 will have room for just a handful at stunning venues in Spain. If this sounds like you, let’s chat soon!
UK family, newborn and couple shoots during regular visits back. I love to revisit my original photography loves!
