Over time, my
enterprise has at all times grown by way of turnover, however this 12 months, has been the
greatest 12 months on 12 months progress ever. I put that all the way down to persistently working with
incredible, repeat shoppers, but in addition working onerous behind the scenes to
appeal to new shoppers.
In actual fact, this 12 months, over 65% of holiday makers to my web site have been from natural google searches. An enormous

I meet commonly to tweak my key phrases and work on my search engine optimization. It’s definitely working!
So now for the numerically-minded of you on the market, listed here are a number of stats ……

in a single 2 hour session is 70 - I took over 77,691 pictures (fortunately I didn’t must edit each single a kind of!)
- That quantities to over 1.1Tb value of area on my onerous drive
However no evaluation of the 12 months, could be full with out mentioning somebody essential who retains me firm behind-the-scenes throughout all these hours of modifying and retouching…..and right here he’s:
By way of the photograph
shoots I’ve undertaken over the 12 months, I’ve discovered myself working with each
sort of enterprise conceivable – every part from one-man-bands and SMEs
to international corporations. All the pieces from faculties and schools, to solicitors,
design businesses and advertising and marketing consultants. Additionally property builders, pest
management brokers and cellular community operators. I simply love the variability – virtually
day-after-day is completely different.
But when I had to select a particular spotlight, I feel it must be when slightly 4 12 months outdated boy got here as much as me throughout a photograph shoot at a prep faculty and gave me a flower. It actually made my day!
I additionally did have enjoyable photographing 80s legends, Stage 42…..
On a private degree, I
nonetheless love strolling with my canine and customarily conserving match. Two challenges I took half on this 12 months
embody a 10k on a scorching scorching day in June with operating pal, Natasha. I additionally
took half in a dash triathlon (I confess to solely doing the operating bit
although!)
I am nonetheless not excellent at taking day trip and sitting down, however my
favorite time is spent on the boat in Wargrave from March to September with
family and friends. In any case, that is what it is all about proper? Right here I’m in the summertime with the 4 people who find themselves the rationale why I rise up day-after-day.
So – hopefully that
