Camera Queens - Find Your Focus
I know what it feels like starting a photography business; blindly learning to build a brand on your own while juggling the demands of life, family, motherhood and your regular 9-5.
I’m Belle (she/her), award-winning published Photographer, here weekly to empower passionate photographers to create undeniable influence and make bank.
Sharing with you my experiences and interviews with industry leaders I support female and non-binary professional photographers to find their focus, live in alignment, stand in their power, and become the best version of themselves as they strive to create sustainable and profitable creative businesses.
I acknowledge the traditional custodians of this beautiful land especially Whadjuk Noongar Boodja, the country where I call my home, raise my children and do my work. I send gratitude and offer my respects to the Elders, past and present and acknowledge their continuing connection to the land, to sky, to water, to culture, to community and to the arts space.
