🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 Any ideas what to do with all these chillies I grew? Especially as I don’t really like hot food! 🤣

It must have been really hot and sunny in the Summer this year (seems a long time ago now!) as they have never grown like this before.

🍁 It’s a great time of year for leaf peeping

🍁 It’s a great time of year for leaf peeping at Westonbirt Arboretum🍁! The Autumn colours are so lovely!

It was such a fabulous bright Autumn morning yesterday, so I took time out to go and look at the trees. 🌲🌲🌲

I tend to wander very slowly, looking at the shapes created by the branches, the texture of the tree bark and the wonderful colours. And then I go up to read the labels saying what type of trees they are. (The tree labels are something I really like about Westonbirt.) I expect I am the most annoying person to be with! 😂

What do you enjoy most about Autumn?

📣“What a fabulous photo shoot with Helen! She

📣“What a fabulous photo shoot with Helen! She was calm and fun, so it was a really stress free, enjoyable experience.

The photos were totally brilliant. I can't recommend Helen Green Photography highly enough.” 📣

I had such fun getting to know Michelle and photographing her footcare and reflexology business. It seems she enjoyed it too, as she gave me that lovely review afterwards.

So if you are at all nervous about being photographed, don’t be! We usually end up relaxing and having a laugh.

🌟🌟🌟 You were born a superhero! 🌟🌟🌟

Jamie McDonald says he is an ordinary bloke from Gloucester, but he ran the equivalent of 200 marathons back-to-back from one side of Canada to the other, dressed as a superhero, all to raise money for hospitals in the UK. And this is just one of the truly inspirational, record-breaking adventures he has been on, raising millions for children’s charities and hospitals. 😍

It was so inspirational listening to him yesterday evening at the Cotswold Playhouse with Lizzie George! Thanks for booking this Lizzie! 💕

I’m so excited to read his book! When we queued up afterwards to meet him I told him about my great nephew Orion and our fundraising efforts to get Orion an autism assistance dog. 🐾

I asked him to write something to Orion, so he wrote “You were born a superhero!” and he couldn’t know how true that is.

Looking forward to that nice after the rain smell, which I just found out has a name: petrichor! Who knew! Thanks for the education @unicornsdinosaursandme!

Have you had any rain yet?

⭐️ Photofilms are so versatile! ⭐️

If you haven’t heard, I now create Photofilms for clients to really get those nuggets of crucial information across to your target audience.

Photofilms are like a video without having to be videoed!

You tell your story in your own voice and I blend it with a series of transitioning specially choreographed photos to really showcase what makes you different. You will receive a video file, as well as the still images used in the Photofilm, which can be shared wherever you want.

There are so many different ways my clients use their Photofilms:

▶️ On their website - this is a favourite way to use them. It particularly works well to encourage people to stay a bit longer on your homepage

▶️ Sharing on social media. All the platforms now seem to favour video content

▶️ Include in email newsletters

▶️ Use as an introduction to a talk or presentation

▶️ At a show or event - it can work well to show your Photofilm on a continuous loop on a screen on your stand

❓ Where would you use your Photofilm?

(The images here are stills from the Photofilm I created for Andrea Marsh @cotswoldmenopause to showcase her amazing Shiatsu treatment)

Today tomatoes reminded me of the value of persist

Today tomatoes reminded me of the value of persistence 🍅🍅🍅

I have always been rubbish at growing tomatoes. I would carefully sow and nurture them, then they would get blight or blossom end rot or just not ripen, so I gave up and said, that’s it, I’m not bothering with them again. Everyone else seemed to find them easy, growing them in the ground, in pots or even in hanging baskets! 🤷‍♀️

So I decided maybe I should persist, maybe give them another go, and look what happened! In the bowl are some of the large ones I picked today, we’ve already eaten quite a few and there are still loads left. 🌟

Today I had a few doubts and seeing (and tasting!) these lovely big juicy tomatoes made me smile and was the reminder I needed that it can be worth persisting.

How are you feeling today?

The cows are out and about this morning! 🐄 I love living in Minchinhampton where the cows wander freely around. I think they must be a bit hot today like the rest of us!. Hope they find some water and shade.

I’m staying in today with the fan on, the blinds down, constantly drinking water and tea.☕

What are you doing to cope with the heat? Do you have any top tips? 🌞

You need to use video, because everyone, (especially the social media algorithms!) loves video, right? If like me you are not so keen on being videoed you might be hoping I am going to say this isn’t true, but it is 🙃. Well I developed my Photofilm process specifically to help with this issue 😃🥳

🌟With my Photofilms you get all the benefits of video without having to be filmed.🌟

▶What is a Photofilm?

Your photo story told in your own voice, blended with a series of transitioning images that both shows and tells people exactly what you do, really showcasing what makes you different.

▶How it works
I will guide you through the process, hand-holding you through each step. This goes from planning which are the most important points to get across, to guidance on how to write your audio script, feedback and editing your script, through to how to prepare for it and styling for the photoshoot itself, so it becomes a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

Once the photos and audio are in the bag, I take them away to edit and optimise them. When I put them together, this is where the alchemy happens and the overall effect becomes more than individual photos or words. I take care to harmonize each photo with the words to create the movement and flow of the overall Photofilm.

You might notice that the I have attached to this post some of the individual photos from the Photofilm I created for fabulous Judith Humphreys to showcase her massage therapy business. 🌟An additional benefit of having a Photofilm is that you also receive the individual photographs used in the Photofilm.🌟

So if you think a Photofilm could give you what you need to make your business visible, please get in touch and we can have a chat.

Do you find that people have all these assumptions

Do you find that people have all these assumptions and preconceptions about what you do that just aren’t true? And because of this you are losing potential clients? 🙁

People don’t always get it. They don’t know anything about the therapy you carry out for clients so they think it’s a bit woo woo. Or they’ve see those television 📺shows where so-called hypnosis is used for entertainment and don’t understand that hypnotherapy bears no relation to that.

Sometimes it’s really difficult to get across exactly what it is you do and the value that you bring to clients. Wouldn’t it be good if there was a way of getting that across to people? 😃

This is a short clip from a Photofilm I created for Janet Dowling. In the full version she describes the type of conditions she can help her clients with and the process of working with her. So without even meeting her they can understand what she does and to get to know her a bit, so they know whether they would feel comfortable working with her. 😍

Anna Brooker @nourished.thriving is a health coach

Anna Brooker @nourished.thriving is a health coach and is extremely passionate about helping her clients bring about positive change in their lives. However, her previous photos on her website didn’t show how full of life and energy she is.

So we had a chat about what she was looking for. Anna is another of my clients who came to me saying they really don’t like their photo being taken, but she felt her business was at a stage where she needed professional photos.

She now has a varied set of photos that reflect her personality and her business story. She is now confident with her photos and gave me some great feedback:

“Helen made me feel relaxed and was able interpret my needs well. I'm really pleased with my photos - thanks Helen!”

If you are at a stage in your business where you need something more than your own selfies, please get in touch.

It definitely starts to feel like Christmas when I'm doing Christmas baking! I love making those things we only have at Christmas, like mince pies, Christmas pudding, special Christmas biscuits and Stollen, so the whole house is fragrant with cinnamon, nutmeg and spices.

This panettone looked a bit overdone, so had to test it 😆
Oh dear, I’ll have to make another one for Christmas now!

Do you make your own or prefer to buy?

I love it when clients get creative and put images

I love it when clients get creative and put images I have created for them together! I received Helen Luther’s @befitstroud newsletter this morning and this was used at the top at the banner image.

She has also used the images regularly on her Facebook page as well as a printed banner to promote her classes. Helen’s classes really are lovely and friendly both in person and online, so if you are interested in having fun and getting fitter her email is: befit@live.co.uk

Having a whole portfolio of photos showing your personality and how you work makes it so easy when you are creating content to let people know what you do.

I’m so lucky to work with such lovely and interesting clients. This inspiring lady who I photographed recently is no exception and I loved spending time with her during her Business Photography shoot at her home near Cheltenham.

Sarah of @apricotlanecoaching is a coach who helps childless women to find a fulfilling life without children. She is a really compassionate lady who knows what she is talking about.

She also loves her cats 🐱 (as you can see in the 3rd photo, one of her cats insisted on getting in on the act when the attention wasn’t on her!) and tending her allotment 🥔🍅🥬

If you would like a set of business photos that really show your personality and who you are, please get in touch.

On World Literacy Day I wanted to give a shout-out

On World Literacy Day I wanted to give a shout-out to all the libraries and librarians out there. I am passionate about the value that libraries can give to communities and in particular setting children up for a lifetime of enjoyment of reading and learning.

We are so lucky in Minchinhampton that we have volunteers who are prepared to offer their time and enthusiasm to our local community library, but honestly I wish that it didn’t have to depend on volunteers and was still part of the council funded system.

Give me a yes and an emoji if you love libraries too! 📕

I’m so lucky, my husband knows me so well that he got me the perfect anniversary present - plants! So this weekend I have had fun planting them out and the rather neglected flower bed is looking so much more colourful.
