Gilmour Studios

Children, study, work, elderly family, housework, relationships - running here and there - the juggle is real.

And then we choose to run our own businesses!

Balancing it all and finding time in the chaos for ourselves and our own wellbeing is a challenge - so let's have a chat about some of the easy wins we can incorporate into our routines to ensure we have the energy to give our all.

Ashlee Sturme is a qualified holistic health coach (and our She Owns It community manager!) and she's speaking at our upcoming Waikato Roadshow event in Hamilton next week!

Come and join Ashlee and Ruth, our incredible photographer and the owner of @ who will talking about personal branding, on Friday morning.

Tickets are available https://events.humanitix.com/your-glow-up-with-she-owns-it (including the opportunity to upgrade your headshot with Ruth while you're in the studio!)

Alex & Lindseys Wedding was one of those oh wow days that was just so special to be part of ✨⁠
⁠
And then Alex's reaction landed in our messages after seeing the photos…⁠
⁠
Which is exactly why we do this.⁠
⁠
Not just for the pretty frames, the golden light, the dress, the flowers, the “please don’t cry or I’ll cry” moments.⁠
⁠
But for the moment our couples see their day back and go 'Yep, that was us, that was our day'.⁠
⁠
Swipe to slide two to read Alex's message, then keep going for a little peek into their beautiful wedding day💍🤍

Thank you, Kristina for the kind words! We’ve loved working with you and your team across multiple branding shoots.⁠
⁠
Calm direction, thoughtful details, and a comfortable experience from start to finish. That’s always the aim.⁠
⁠
Thinking about refreshing your brand imagery? Let’s chat.⁠
