Lucy, the other L in ShineSparkL

Longtime marketer-turned-photographer, I did things in reverse of most. I found my photography calling after an established career in the loyalty marketing sector.
Marketing and business were second nature, but quickly I realized that in the photographer community there was mythology and misinformation about what marketing was, and intimidation about how or what exactly to do. Where to even start.
Your business *can* shine. And you do have an inner spark waiting to be ignited. Welcome to ShineSparkL marketing education for photographers and congratulations on taking action towards your dreams!

Lucy, the spark behind the business

We live in a harmony of our 5 pillars; the 5-legged tripod which give us ultimate stability.

We are unique, pioneering and feisty in our approach.

Sparkling over flat: Add fizz to your bizz.

Birds love shiny objects. So do we. Become a shiny object.

Shiny objects don’t compete. They sparkle and shine and naturally catch the eye.

Billions of stars in the sky and there is room for every single one.

We learn together and progress our life’s work.

We value ourselves. We value our work and our clients.

When the photography playing field is equal, marketing is the ONE THING that will set you apart.

Most new or even established photographers will not properly educate themselves in marketing, branding or business. They watch and do what others are doing. The danger? They don’t know if what others are doing is actually working, or they may have tried this approach and it’s not working.

ShineSparkL is photography marketing education — life’s work education — like you’ve never experienced before. A whole business approach that is:

Learning marketing is easier than you think. With my down-to-earth and common sense approach, coupled with a versatile learning and investment structure, marketing education for photographers is very accessible to you no matter what your previous setbacks may have been.

Banish the Bootcamp!

No sharp edges, bootcamps, warrior mentality or competitive language here. Why is it that marketing and business education evolved with such aggressive terms? We’ll get thrown into the trenches, defeated but then whipped into shape. Hopefully emerging stronger, more resilient and educated rather than intimidated, tired and overwhelmed. It’s one approach and still a trendy one, but not the only one.

Some may want the tough love, but maybe you’ve found me because you want a different approach.

Gentle guidance, insight, tapping into personal power and elevating energy to emerge stronger, more resilient and educated, instead of being torn down. Let’s stop fighting and being warriors. Let’s start learning and being the photographers, the creatives and the visionaries we are meant to be.

Around here, success is without a fight but more of a feisty SparkL.

“Thank you so much for everything. You gave me so much value in your expertise but also the boost I needed to make a few changes and keep going.

You are a true asset to my business - even on the other side of the world.

Thank you so much!”

Lucy’s review of my website was exactly what I needed to bring it to the next level.

The review was comprehensive and actionable. It ranged from easy adjustments like changing the format of several pages to more thought-provoking ones on messaging. If your website isn’t generating the results you want, this is a great way to get a fresh perspective!

Lucy’s review of my website was exactly what I needed to bring it to the next level.

Lucy had the uncanny ability to see the big picture when she reviewed my web site, as well as noticing important details that could be improved.

She gave me valuable advice for moving towards an overall brand message. Her actionable steps helped me get unstuck. After reading her report, I felt encouraged and challenged to improve my site!”
