Morning fun! Happy Sunday everyone. xo

Happy Thursday! This is a throwback to a few Summers ago. I am really loving this blue at the moment and planning to use it in a new project soon. I love colour so much and how different colours inspire us at different times. Enjoy your day. xo #throwbackthursday

Wishing my super talented friend @emmablockillustration the most wonderful book launch this evening. Her book “The Joy Of Watercolor” is a complete delight and full of 40 inspiring lessons. xo

Happy Sunday lovely ones. 💕

These gorgeous Echinacea flowers have been bringing me joy every morning over the past few weeks. I say hello to them as I go for my morning swim. They are so full of happiness, so I am sharing another image of them to wish you a very happy weekend. xo

Happy Friday lovely people. 💕 Take a moment today to reflect on the week gone by. What are you grateful for? How do you feel at the end of the week? I love to do this every week. It helps me to prepare for the next one. xo

Every time I walk past this special garden it makes me smile. The love that the wonderful old man who lives there gives to this garden all year round is so inspiring and gorgeous. Such joy. xo

After the rain. So lovely to be out this morning after all the rain last night. So fresh! Have the most beautiful Wednesday. xo

Happy Sunday! 💕 Finding special places in a city is always a joy. I had wanted to visit this beautiful old church for so long and I was so excited when @wanderforawhile surprised me with a trip there a few days ago. A perfect Summer treat! 📷 @wanderforawhile

Instagram is a great way to promote what you offer and build a community around you and your work, whether that's a personal interest or for business.

Over the past couple of years I've grown my following by tens of thousands.

Not with any tricks – just by finding time in the daily routine to consistently create and share relevant, beautiful images.

Now I'm sharing what I've learnt so you can apply the same approach!

In this workshop I will help you improve your photography and gain skills that will help you grow your following.

AN INSPIRING workshop

If you're not a natural with a camera it can be hard to get going on Instagram, Pinterest and other places that rely on beautiful images.

It can be so demoralising seeing those around you getting thousands of likes on their images and you're left thinking:

"Why don't I get the same reaction to my Instagram posts as those around me?"

On this course you'll learn practical ways to shoot, plan and share your work while developing your own personal style.

Learn how to create beautiful images that your followers will love, not just like

Learning with others is a joy. The Makelight community is welcoming and supportive. No matter your ability, you'll feel safe and encouraged to share those slightly imperfect photos in private.

We've learnt that feedback really helps, so Emily will reply to questions and provide feedback on the images you post in our private Facebook group. You'll also get support from our small Makelight team if you're having any trouble.
