Hey everyone! It's that time of year. You're looking back at 2025, and maybe you're feeling one of two things: 1. "Wow, that was a whirlwind. I'm exhausted, and I have no idea how to make next year less chaotic." 2. "I hit some goals, but I feel like I was just winging it. I need a REAL plan for 2026." If either of those sounds familiar, I've created something just for you. Introducing: The Plan Your 2026 Workshop This is a LIVE, 90-minute workshop where we will plan for 2026 with intention. This isn't about setting vague goals and hoping for the best. This is a hands-on, reflection-based planning experience designed to give you clarity and a plan for your most profitable and fulfilling year yet. By the end of this workshop, you will have: ✓ Clarity on what to let go of and what to double down on. ✓ Your 2026 Identity & Theme: A guiding principle for the year. ✓ Your "This Time Next Year" Vision: A compelling picture of your future across YOU, BUSINESS, and LIFESTYLE. ✓ Specific Revenue & Session Goals: The numbers you're actually working toward. ✓ Your Big Rocks Map: The non-negotiable anchors for your year (professional & personal). ✓ Your Q1 2026 Focus: Your top 3 priorities to start the year with momentum. The Details: - Date: Tuesday, December 17, 2025 - Time: 9:00 AM Sydney time - Where: Live on Zoom. Details in the Calendar tab - Investment: FREE for the Pet Photographers Collective members Can't make it live? The replay will be available for US$27, or you can get it for free when you join the Premium Membership. This is for you if you're tired of reactive, last-minute marketing and you're ready to plan your 2026 with intention. This is NOT for you if you're looking for a magic bullet or you're not willing to do the work. Why I'm Doing This I see too many talented pet photographers get stuck in a cycle of overwhelm and inconsistent bookings because they don't have a plan. This workshop is designed to break that cycle.

I'm looking to switch labs and am looking at Seldex, Global Image and Atkins. I'm probably going to choose different labs for different reasons. I'd love to hear from others who use any of these labs and their thoughts. I do have an Artisan Canvas with an ornate frame from Seldex, which I love, and also a torn-edge framed fine art piece (pictured below). Canvas is probably the finish I'm most interested in hearing about - boxed canvas - if others have them from any of these three labs.

Share your wins this week, big or small!! My wins: - I’ve created a 12 months mastermind and I’m so excited to have @Jo Lyons and @Yunet Solorzano signed up this week! It’s going to be an amazing year working with you both supporting you with your marketing! - Had a great $4k sale this week from a client who came in from one of my pet of the season giveaways. I’ve got a few more ordering appointments this weekend and I know at least 2 are wanting to purchase a portrait box or album and a wall collection. Both came from event giveaways (free session plus credit or print). Share yours below! I’d love to cheer you on!

So if you've been on my instagram, I recently mentioned I am currently doing a 7 day social media challenge and every day there's a prompt of what to post. Today's one was quite scary to post. The prompt was to post a polarising view/hot take and to brainstorm ideas I asked chat GPT to brainstorm ideas that are a hot take, borderline offensive and ‘kinda get me cancelled’. Funnily enough my Chat GPT said "We can absolutely create borderline offensive, “kinda get me cancelled,” hot-take level statements…BUT they still need to stay safe, ethical, non-harmful, and aligned with your brand (which is warm, emotionally intelligent, and never cruel)." So basically it told me that while we can create these polarising posts, it recommended that i still stay safe and on brand lol 😅. It knows me well!! Anyway it came up with several ideas and I had to keep asking it to brainstorm more ideas and I ended up posting one today. You can check it out here. So my question is, have you done a polarising/hot take posts? Would this be something you would be brave enough to do?
