One of the many reasons I love being a photographer is meeting other women who are also passionate about what they do. It is great getting to know other solo entrepreneurs and talk about the unique challenges, the ups and downs of running your own business. The one thing that we all have in common is that we are driven - no matter what the set backs are, we find a way to do what we love! Read about Esthers business:

 

"When I was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 53 I could see that there was very little support for adults who have been struggling with the condition for their whole lives. I trained as a coach and started working with ADHD adults who said that coaching was life changing for them. There were no UK based accredited ADHD Coach training courses, so after 25 years as a teacher, trainer and facilitator I developed the first one. We have been training coaches for over a year now, and we can see that coaching makes a real difference to ADHD adults. 

 

Our challenges are that ADHD and neurodiversity are still misunderstood by so many people. We are out in the community raising awareness of the conditions and their impact on our lives. We also suggest ways to support neurodivergent people and create a more inclusive environment. In the long run we'd like everyone to know more about ADHD, Autism, Tourette and others so we can plan and deliver services for all our beautiful brains. 

 

I worked 2 jobs for a year or more before I went into my business full time. This transition really helped me to gain the confidence I needed to start out on my own.

 

My professional photos were a big milestone and a vital step in creating the vibe I was looking for - professional networking is key to my work and I wanted my website and socials to be appealing and approachable. I'm here to help, and I want people to be comfortable dropping me a line or pinging a message informally. I love my photos and I think they show the real me!"
