@Minali Akhud hi I really feel this too. I try to record when the lighting is good, I have lots of space and timing isnt tight but if its not a nice backgroud/getting ready space or if I can't get good lighting then I release myself of the pressure to film that day, and I don't allow the guilt either. Sometimes being real can look like saying "I chose to be fully present today and not set up my camera" or something to that effect. I dunno. Its hard to keep coming up with hooks and ideas

@Marissa Brennan yes she is amazing 👏🏻 so very far away from me like opposite coast but I do have some connections already with stylists who do film here in Halifax. Some just worked on the Amazon prime show "we were liars"

@Marissa Brennan ooh thats a great tip to keep track. I have several brides this year who just don't check their email ever

Hi everyone. Im Kirby and I live in Nova Scotia Canada. We moved here 5 years ago from Ontario and business grew very quickly. Im a hairstylist who specializes in bridal. Currently I work weddings from June-October in addition to working 2-3 days per week doing cut and colour in a salon suite. I also work one day a week assisting the cosmetology students at our community college on their client day. (October- April) On top of this I offer bridal styling education and do alot of styled shoots (bridal, other brands and creative) I usually promote 1:1 and bring a friend classes but lately have trouble getting interest. However 2 weeks ago I hosted a stylist portfolio workshop where attendees got to come to a styled shoot setting, style a model and pick out their outfit from a collection of wedding dresses. I was there to provide assistance and capture bts and teach them to record their work. They also received professional photos from a photographer. This went really well and attendees have already booked weddings and secured assisting positions with experienced stylists. I would love to find ways to focus more of my energy on brides, and styling and photoshoot stuff like this. I really want to get away from doing colour but its the easiest way to make money during the winter. Id love to have a larger space in the future to work with another stylist and help them grow, teach larger classes and roll out a styling class with pro photos option that could be done in house. I really wrote alot here but im im some type of confusing transition where I want more but dont exactly know how to get there so I am very happy to be here. Thank you for reading this novel LOL
