Mums Who Wine Event, Global Champagne Day

by

Wow! Another fabulous event by Mums Who Wine!
On Saturday 100 Canberra Mums came together to enjoy a child free afternoon out. And to celebrate Global Champagne Day!
Hosted in a pretty park location, underneath the Wysteria and gum trees, by Lake Burley Griffin.
.
Thanks to @thehouseofbubbles and their gorgeous vintage Bubbles Van.
Even though it was verrry WINDY! It didn’t stop any of the mums enjoying themselves. Oh and thanks to house of bubbles for supplying blankets! what a lifesaver!
.
@altinadrinks were on hand with incredible “Zero Proof” Craft Cocktails. They were so delicious I forgot there wasn’t any alcohol in them! Perfect since I had to drive.
.
There was an absolutely epic cheese and picnic spread, a very beautiful and naughty dessert table. Plus lots of fun with a Champagne Cork Hunt. Prizes, laughter and friendship.

Autumn family session at Bendooley estate

by

OK get ready for all the gushing from me about how freaking gorgeous this family is!

This session was such a dream. It was a stunning sunny autumn day at Bendooley estate in Berrima.

This place is just oozing with character and picturesque corners.

Gardens, grand big trees, lakes, old sandstone cottage covered with red vines……. It also happens to be the place where these guys (pre baby) tied the knot.

And now the gushing…….not only are these parents drop dead gorgeous but they are so Damned cool as well. And just look at this doll of a baby girl…..so perfect!

(File) Size really does matter

by

Don’t know what size your images should be for your website or socials?

Here’s a few tips to help you!

File size is relevant for Facebook and Instagram.

If you want your images looking as HOT on the platform as your original. Resize them so the compression doesn’t alter the colours and quality……..⠀
I usually resize to 1200 pixels long.

image size tips for instagram

Instagram features 4 native aspect ratios:⠀
* Square – 1:1 (max length 1200px)⠀
* Landscape – 1.91:1 (max length 1080px)⠀
* Portrait – 4:5 (max length (1200px)⠀
* Versatile – 4:3/3:4 (max length 1200px if portrait, 1080px if landscape)⠀

Here’s some great tips from@the.seo.boutique when uploading your images to your website……..

Small business Advice for the day, don’t forget to optimise your images for search engines as well!

📸
Having really large (file size) images can majorly slow down your page speed!
📸
Make sure you correctly name your image! Don’t leave it 6384726.jpeg, change it to a short descriptive (relevant) name.
📸
Don’t forget your ALT text 😉

Seeking entrepreneurs and influencers

by

Seeking entrepreneurs and influencers Text palm leaves on pink background

Hey Friends! Do you know anyone who would be a good fit for this?
🙋‍♀️
I’m looking for entrepreneurs and influencers who need photos of themselves and their products/ services to promote their business and grow their personal brand.
📸👌
I will soon be offering Personal Branding Photography. But before I do, I’d like to work with 2 separate people at significantly discounted rates to make sure my workflow is running smoothly before opening this up to the public.
👌
We’ll work together to design a custom photoshoot for them that perfectly reflects their brand and story. They’ll receive 3 months worth of custom images for daily social media posting or to use anywhere they do business online.
🌈
The discounted price for this is $499, which is WAY lower than I normally charge, and will ONLY be available for exactly 2 people!
😱
But here’s the thing: I need to know kinda this weekend. This offer ends 5pm MONDAY!!
😬
If you know someone who would love to get one of these spots, please send this post to them. If  YOU are interested, send me a message and we’ll get you booked. They are on a first-come, first-served basis and will be officially booked once payment has been received.
🤩
Thanks so much! You’re the best!!! 🙏🙏😘😘😘
