ABOUT US

HI, WE'RE HALEY & RUTH

PHOTOGRAPHERS, EDUCATORS & BUSINESS BOSS LADIES

And we are the Photographers and Educators behind 'It Doesn't Have To Be This Hard'!

When we first made a date to catch up after the Studio opened, I don't think either of us thought that we would within a few months be running workshop together, creating this Partnership and helping the first group of awesome attendees realise their dreams. But we did. We smashed that right out of the park and even ran two workshops that year! Since 2021, so many things have changed. We have a podcast, we ran so many more websites and we even launched our courses online!

We are both so excited to be able to pool our years of knowledge, experience and learning across various genres together to create this Educational platform and community and help other photographers create sustainable businesses doing something they love.

You are allowed to dream big.

No one else is going to give you a 6 monthly pay rise. No one else is going to be like, "oh no, those photographs are worth far more, let me pay you more". No one else is going to give you a bonus at the end of the year or pay you sick leave.We set the scene as to our own worth. No matter how much of an imposter we feel like, we are are allowed to dream bigger than our current 'reality'.

"At the time my packages were like $200 to $400. I wasn't making a living, it was just an expensive hobby. I did the workshop and it just totally changed my perspective on what my business could be. I got into this because I liked to take pretty photos, but no one ever taught me how to run a business and how to make money and feed my family and pay my bills. I went to this workshop and it just changed everything." - Sarah Grayson
