Client Testimonial : The images I received were stunning. Emma’s passion and creativity really sines through in her photos and her dedication to delivering high-quality work. I would recommend Emma to anyone and will be using her services going forward as well. Thank you so much for helping to showcase my brand so beautifully - Purscents

Lavender Line Photography Meets Lavender Scents!

‘Melt, Pour & Enjoy’

As briefly mentioned in my last post, I recently had an exciting product photography shoot with the fabulous Purscents, a sustainable candle business that encourages us to breathe new life into our empty jars with their beautiful nature inspired scents. Not only are you helping to repurpose and help the environment with your Purscents purchases, but you have the added fun of pouring your own candles too, something that makes it so much more personal and something that I couldn’t wait to do!

It seemed only right that ‘Rise N Shine’ be the first candle I make and photograph given that Lavender is its main ingredient along with Lemon and Bergamot, a match made in heaven if you ask me! A quick read of the instructions and I was ready to get to work!

Step One : The placing of the lead free candle wick to jar bottom, ready to bring Rise N Shine to life!

Step Two : Place compostable refill pouch in the microwave for two minutes and Rise N Shine is ready to pour!

Step Three : Once set, your new candle is ready for lighting, bringing those beautiful natural scents into your home!

Step Four : Easy to extinguish, leaving a beautiful aroma around the home while looking pretty in its surroundings!

Coming from a completely creative background I couldn’t wait to get stuck into this product shoot. I found the making process very simple, as well as satisfying too knowing that these Purscents compostable refill pouches mean that one less candle jar will go to landfill. A candle business that not only encourages creativity in the form of taking charge of your repurposed candle vessel, but makes sure to help protect our planet is one that gets my vote and one I will highly recommend time and time again!

Here is to a Summer filled with Purscents!

P.S. Don’t forget that Product Photography packages are available with Lavender Line Photography, helping bring new content to your small business!

Say Yes To New Adventures!

‘There’s magic in these moments’

Each year I try and bring a new aspect to my business, something that not only excites me, but that takes me out of my comfort zone to further my business goals.  2022 was the year I brought my work into another creative outlet, 2023 was taking part in my first ever Pop Up shop and this year it will be bringing forward a new photography package to Lavender Line Photography.

The Portview Pop Up - a small business shopping experience to remember!

The magic of six small businesses coming together in one space

I am excited to announce that this year I will be offering Product Photography shoots, helping other small business owners showcase their beautiful work and products with images that fit perfectly with their brand.  I have always enjoyed taking photographs of everyday objects in interesting room set-ups, incorporating objects into certain dreamy landscapes / beachscapes and putting together beautiful flat-lays that not only catch the eye but help promote an element of my work while keeping to my own branding. It seems only right that 2024 be the year I bring Product Photography into the Lavender Line mix!

Like all small business owners I too worry about outgoing costs when it comes to promotional material, but that quote ‘you have to spend money in order to make money’ is so true when it comes to the promotion of your business and products.  Without those clear professional shots you are not giving your business or your products their full selling potential! 

My aim with Lavender Line Product Photography is to tell your future clients your business story, to bring them along on your small business journey and to create images that are saved to those pinterest boards for every day inspirations time and time again, and all at an affordable cost.

Find Me Where The Waves Are - my main motto!

So if you are a small business owner and feel like our visions would be a perfect fit then please get in touch!  Let’s capture those small business moments together and bring your business to the top!

When Six Small Business Dreams Become One Reality!

‘I wake up with a new idea and new dreams every day, and I follow that dream, as they say’ - Dolly Parton

Well I think it is safe to say that when it comes to blogging I have every good intention in keeping on top of it, but then finding the actual time to do it becomes almost impossible as a small business owner! This is something that I am going to schedule time for in 2024 so that I can sit down at the computer and keep you updated on all things Lavender Line Photography, but until then here is a quick roundup of all things LLP in Autumn 2023…

A lovely first time trip to Rathlin Island, a fabulous 4 days (should have been 5 but that is a whole other post) in the beautiful city of Copenhagen, a new print series coming very soon, and a beautiful Pop Up Shop that myself and 5 other small business friends have created together to make for an unforgettable shopping experience this holiday season!

I will talk more about Rathlin and Copenhagen in separate blog posts, along with the new series of work, but this post is dedicated to our beautiful The Portview Pop Up!

The Portview Pop Up, a must-visit this holiday season!

When six small business dreams become one reality!

I think I can speak for most small business owners right now in saying that this year has been one of the toughest years when it comes to business and selling work.  Shopping habits and spendings have changed (my own included) and for the first time it has left me a little unsure of what the future may hold.  I am very much a ‘day by day’ kind of gal and so thinking ahead can make me feel a little uncomfortable and uneasy, but I do know that things need to change come the new year, and with that means adapting the business once again to suit current climates and situations.

It was these sorts of small business chats with my lovely Portview Crew that lead to the discussions of possibly teaming up together this Christmas to create something magical, and so during a very casual Monday morning business breakfast catch-up our Portview Pop Up was born!

The Portview Pop Up is a collaborative venture between myself and five other small business friends located in Portview Trade Centre, our mission: to offer an unforgettable shopping experience while helping to promote the importance of small business and supporting local.

From Photography to Faux Flowers, Vegan Hair Care to Watercolour Prints and Jewellery to Storytelling Gifts With Purpose…. there is a little something for everyone this Christmas!  So, if you are in the Belfast area this November and December then be sure to pop into The Portview Pop Up, we are open every Thursday - Sunday! Not only have we come together as 6 very different businesses, we have also given the opportunity to 8 other small business owners to showcase their talents with our Small Business Saturdays and Sundays, meaning The Portview Pop Up is the perfect place to browse and shop with its ever-changing format!

Be sure to pop in and say hi this holiday season, and if you can’t unfortunately make it then be sure to check out the links to each fab business below :

A little more information from our press release :

The historic Portview Trade Centre, once a pioneering spinning mill from the early 1900s and celebrated for its progressive employment of women and blend of traditional craftsmanship with innovative technologies.

Rachel McIlgorm, founder of Storybox NI CIC said, “The collaboration aims to demonstrate the resilience and creativity of the local business community while providing a tailored shopping experience for all.  By supporting local enterprises, visitors and customers can not only find one-of-a-kind treasures but also play a vital role in bolstering their neighbourhood’s economic well-being.

Lynette Murray of Studio A114 said, “When 6 business women put their heads together they create brilliance.  A Christmas Pop Up has been put together so beautifully to showcase how you can shop small and support local businesses this Christmas.”
