Behind the scenes of a brand photoshoot!
Here’s how I approach every shoot to ensure stunning, impactful content for my clients:
1️⃣ Planning is key. I start with a detailed shot list tailored to my client’s goals — every image has a purpose.
2️⃣ Lighting, angles, and props. These aren’t just technical details; they’re to help tell a story, making even staged shots look authentic.
3️⃣ Capturing the vibe. Whether it’s warm and inviting or bold and dynamic, every shot reflects the brand’s unique personality.
💡 Extra lil tip: Before any shoot, ask yourself, ‘What story am I trying to tell?’ The answer will guide everything from composition to editing.

As much as a ‘2024 Content Highlight’ is on the top of my priority list, an overall reflection was something I wanted to touch on first.
It wasn’t tough to find — a compilation of videos of me loving my job. There are *a lot* of those clips lurking in my camera roll. This year has been a whirlwind of creativity, growth, and connection. From capturing stunning imagery that tells a brand’s story to brainstorming strategies over endless cups of coffee, 2024 has been a year that reminded me why I chose this path. 🫶🏽
It’s not just about the work produced for me — it’s the moments in between. Building relationships with clients who trust me to bring their vision to life, collaborating with passionate people who pour their hearts into their businesses, and continuously pushing myself to learn and evolve have made this year unforgettable.
Through this journey I have developed a lot as an individual, in confidence both professionally and personally. And Square One in 2024 will forever be to thank.
2024 wasn’t without its challenges, I assure you that. They fueled my determination to keep creating, to keep experimenting, and to keep delivering content that works.
As we wrap up this year, I’m already so excited for what’s to come in 2025. New clients, bigger ideas, and more ways to help businesses shine through their content.
To my incredible clients, thank you for letting me do what I love — I couldn’t have done it without your trust and partnership. And to everyone else who’s been along for the ride, here’s to creating magic in 2025! ✨

I tell you why I’ve had ENOUGH…
I’m just kidding I haven’t, not even close 😂
Being self-employed is such a unique journey. I’ll admit it – I sometimes feel embarrassed when people ask what I do. I catch myself wondering if they think I don’t work hard enough because I “just run socials and take photos.”
But here’s the truth: I work bloody hard. From shooting and editing content, learning new skills, and posting and marketing for other businesses, to running my own socials and managing my own branding – it’s full-on. Oh and don’t forget… HAVING A LIFE?! Some days are long and filled with juggling a million hats, but I wouldn’t change it for the world.
As I start thinking about my goals for 2025, one of the biggest is to share the real side of what I do. Not just the fun, flashy parts like being behind the camera but also the nitty-gritty: the editing, the hours of planning, and the endless behind-the-scenes work that keep my business running. To help those considering going self employed in the near future!
Because those “less exciting” moments are just as important as the ones front and centre. They’re what make everything else possible. So, here’s to showing all sides of my business- open and honestly 🥂

How to add a contrast layer to your Instagram story →
Sooo if I’m doing a few stories with the same background, or expanding on the previous story, it’s nice to have a contrast layer to differentiate the two!
I just recently tried to do it in my newest story and realised my fonts updated!! So I wasn’t able to do it the classic way of adding a background to a full stop on fonts.
The next way I’ve found to do it, is with the highlighter pen tool, selecting your colour and holding down the screen. It’s not the exact same as before but it’s the same idea for anyone who was a fan of this previous Instagram tool!

We’re officially bring mics on to Square One’s content ✨🙌🏼
Now I’m not gonna lie this is DANGEROUS because of the complex walking around with a mini microphone gives me… it’s addictive 🫶🏽

Today is the one year anniversary of one of the teams I work with 😇
So I thought I’d put together a similar little video about what my years looked like too…
I’m very lucky to have the job I have, and it’s great fun working with different people every day! Here’s to many more years of Square One, and the businesses I work with!
