Refresh for January. Still missing Christmas sparkle but hooray for Daffodils and our kitchen also has a vase full of gorgeous smelling Mimosa. 🌿 Today I hosted a workshop with the lovely @tracykarkutlaw. Will share in my Stories shortly. xo

Happy Thursday! If this is your first week back at work I hope it’s going well. This is Day 3 for me and I am loving getting stuck into this year. 🌿 I have three main things I want to make happen this year (and many small things of course!) I am taking time this week to break them down into smaller chunks and planning it all out, so I can clearly see what I need to do when. If I don’t do this, these dreams won’t become reality. 🌿 How do you plan your year? xo

On the final day of the holidays my children made a puppet theatre out of a cardboard box. They want to make some puppets with my help soon but for now they have made some paper ones and tapped them to a strip of card. I love watching their creativity and team work. 💕

Happy Tuesday! It is back to school for us today. I am 50% super sad our holidays are over - it was a good one. But 50% super excited to get stuck into 2019. I have so many plans to start to make happen! xo

Last day of the holidays today, although my eldest is starting back today. In 2018 my big goal was to design my work to fit into school term times and take off the school holidays with my children. I did it! And tomorrow I will be setting my plans and schedules, so I can achieve it again this year. Have the best start to the second week of the year. xo

Time to take down the sparkle and add a sense of calm for the year ahead...but I am keeping all those twinkly fairy lights for the winter months. xo

Happy Saturday! 💕 I am squeezing ever last ounce out of our festive sparkle this weekend for an exciting new project for the end part of this year. Last year I really focussed on batching my work (doing the same tasks all at once...like shooting 5 videos instead of 1) and this is helping me so much to make us much as possible out of the early January light and all the sparkle in our home. Watch this space! 🌟🌟🌟

When your children love glitter, sparkle and stars as much as you do! 🌟

The magic and sparkle is still alive here! 🌟 These flowers have lasted almost two weeks. What joy! I hope you are enjoying these first days of 2019. xo

Each year we sit down together as a family and write our goals and wishes for the year and hang them in this tree. Each year my children get more into it and think more about the process and what they want the new year to be about for them. It is a joy to share my love of goal setting and intention with them and be able to learn more about them in the process. It helps me to plan our year as a family to incorporate what they want too. Do you set goals with your children? Or tell them about your goal setting process? xo

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.

The content felt focused and achievable. Your delivery is lovely - calm and approachable. I feel inspired!

In your videos you give some great insight! I always have these little "Aha!" moments when I'm learning from you.
