My mind is always thinking about things in a descriptive way, and I have found a great love of photography too. so I thought, why not combine the two and do something positive for my lovely local town.

5 year anniversary! Can't believe it's been 5 years to the day.

The first few years were tough, definitely more downs than ups, but I stuck at it. I remember a customer telling me most businesses take 4-5 years to really get going... and they were right.

Things have finally turned a corner and it's now more ups than downs. I've always done everything the right way - no shortcuts, no fake followers, no fake reviews - just consistency.

Fitting that I'm about to have a record month as well.

Here's to another 5 years 👊🏻
