Hey Gorgeous, here’s wishing you a wonderful 2023! Are you feeling a spark of inspiration to up-level your portfolio of personal branding and lifestyle photos and videos? This may apply if you’re cosying up in winter in the Northern hemisphere, or soaking up our glorious summer here in the South. Either way, it can be fun, refreshing and effective to include relevant settings in your social media visuals.
On our recent family excursion to Franschhoek, the store above immediately caught my eye. You guessed, it, I love the sign on the window, as well as the super pretty setting. So, I asked Dave to take a pic of me with my twin sister Ruth, her daughter and our cousin, sharing a special moment on our holiday. A similar, spur-of-the-moment nudge inspired me to take the pics below of Ruth and her husband. This was completely impromptu at a lunch venue we were enjoying on Laborie Estate.
Both of these settings hint at the enchantment of the Western Cape Winelands, where we are so blessed to live and work. This breath-taking region abounds with opportunities and options to leverage the beauty of nature and adventure, as well as enticing lifestyle.
