“Not everyone can do what Polly does and that’s to make genuine connections so that the information she delivers permeates on an individual and personal level”

Elyse Shellie.

A handcrafted cabin in the heart of a preserved remnant of native bush, with views of the rolling farmland and a peep of Mt. Karioi.

The hand-crafted solid timber cabin was built largely using macrocarpa with native timber details.

There is 2.3ha of native bush to explore, with a diverse range of plants and birdlife. A walking track that showcases the native flora and fauna. Take a break by the picturesque hidden pond that is home to native koura (fresh-water crayfish).

This is what is included…

WEBSITE REVIEW

Covering three pages of your website, I consider your goals for your business, the style you’d like to portray, and how I feel your website could adapt to achieve this, so that you can attract your ideal client.

MARKETING & SOCIALS SOLUTION

You don’t need to be married to Instagram to be fully booked! We will cover strategies to attract/retain clients, plus other forms of marketing. So that you benefit from multiple styles of marketing.

PRICING STRATEGY

One of the most popular content aspects of my workshop. Pricing doesn’t have to be scary! With my personal pricing strategy (that works), you can start charging what you’re worth.

CREATE YOUR SIGNATURE STYLE

Find your creative niche, and establish a style that feels authentic to you and your brand identity! No more comparisons.

STRATEGIC PORTFOLIO BUILDING

Shooting YOUR way, in the style that feeds your creativity and makes your heart sing. We’ll cover ways to build a portfolio that doesn’t mean free sessions.

ATTRACT YOUR IDEAL CLIENT

Understand how to identify your ideal client, how to speak to them, and how to use your signature style to captivate them so that they only want to book with YOU!

IDEAL CLIENT JOURNEY

Creating a journey for your client that sees them returning time, and time again!
Your client experience is what it’s all about. Make your client feel at ease, so that it shows in their photos.

MY WORKFLOW

Everything from enquiry to delivery! All the steps that are included throughout the booking process and session including the games and tricks I use to capture beautiful, candid, and intimate moments.

TWO LIVE SHOOT’S

See it all come to life, and shoot alongside me in two live sessions. One in-home newborn session, and one on-location outdoor session (weather permitting).

VERY GENEROUS AND TRANSPARENT

I have attended other similar groups and what stood out to me about yours is you were very real and practical about the steps to take to improve your business. I really appreciate this clear advice and what works in business. You bring a positive light to running a business and obviously have fun whilst running yours and that’s lovely to see. It gave me hope for the future that one day when my kids are bigger I could be doing a similar amount of work.

The reviews…

Dont just take my word for it…

100% WORTH THE INVESTMENT

I really felt the website review made the experience a whole lot more personal in the lead up to the workshop. I really felt you have taken genuine care and interest in us and what you shared made a lot of sense. I can’t wait to implement it.

SERIOUSLY THE BEST!

The newborn live shoot. Seeing how you worked with toddlers! Seriously the best. I don’t think many workshop teachers have the confidence to do a newborn shoot with lots of kids. This definitely sets you apart. Normally it’s just mum and baby or mum, dad and baby. But by having the multiple kids, gave us a huge insight into how to navigate the beautiful chaos of it all.

GOT SOME

QUESTIONS?

It’s a full day workshop. The start and finish times will depend on the time of the year and the location. For example, if it’s a summer workshop, it will most likely start a little later in the morning than a winter workshop and finish closer to sunset to make the most of the golden hour for the on-location session.

My workshop welcomes everyone! From established photographers who lack the confidence to run a business, or would like to be further inspired and get a fresh new approach. To new photographers who have only just recently started their business and want to gain some strategies to get the ball rolling. I’ve specifically created my workshop to be applicable to all levels.

In short, yes! I don’t cover basic photography in this workshop. We focus more on the ins and outs of running a photography business, or starting a photography business, but we won’t be covering how to use a camera.

I’m a strong believer in everyone finding their own unique editing style, for this reason I don’t cover my own personal editing style in this workshop. I’m more than happy to answer questions and offer suggestions on ways to find your own editing style, so if this is something you want to chat about, feel free to let me know!

Heck yes there is! In fact, I encourage it. The more open the group is to asking questions and sharing their own experiences, the better. My hope is that you walk away feeling reassured, confident and with a few new friends.

This question might just be for me, but to answer it anyway, of course. My drink of choice on this occasion is bubbles, after all, we’ve got to toast to your success! Tea, snacks, and a gourmet lunch will also be provided, but we all know the cheese platter and bubbles at the end of the day is the main event.
