You already will have a unique style. Add a prop to express who you are.

Your look is very important. Your collection of “selfies” that you share with others will start to give an overall message about who you are. Are you a book worm who loves crazy glasses? Or perhaps a party person who is always snapping himself (or herself) looking fabulous? Capture who you are.

The important message I am getting across is you must have elements that are uniquely you and fun. Otherwise, your identity will get lost in the white fuzz. I get tired of seeing selfies of people showcasing their breakfast, drinking their twentieth cocktail, or walking their pet.

I love seeing people share their passion for wearing vintage hats and scarfs. I enjoy selfies that proudly showcase the person’s amazing ability to create a Michelin Star dish. You already will have a unique style. I would add this to your selfies. It will give your online personally a more unique twist. Make your images count by making them unique to your individual style or lifestyle.”

Jean Claude and Kate Branch at Kirribilli house

As a mother of two nothing is more important to me than our children. My husband Jean-Claude and I attended a fundraiser at Kirribilli house that raised money for five wonderful children charities. We were honoured to personally meet The Honourable Malcom Turnball, Prime Minister of Australia and his amazing wife Mrs Lucy Turnball. Jean-Claude and I were also honoured to listen to the address of the Honourable Dame Marie Bashir who also supports these charities especially Central Coast Kids in Need. Once again her Excellency Dame Marie Bashir said that children are the most precious resource we have. And that is very true. We are very thankful to attend such an amazing evening. Below are the amazing charities that funds were raised for. http://www.bearcottage.chw.edu.au/ Bear Cottage is the only children’s hospice in NSW, one of only two in Australia, and the only one in the world affiliated with a children’s hospital.

Photoshoot promoting shopping: Not a hard task

Last week I was photographed for my local paper the Mosman Daily. It was promoting shopping locally in the area of Neutral Bay. Personally it is not a hard sell to shop and eat locally. I have always promoted the local community because it is very imporant. You can sit on blogger and twitter all day long- but you cannot have a coffe with your social media. As much as online is imporantant- we must not forget to get amoungst our local communities. Thats why Google+ is a great new tool. It supports local communities and buisnesses. I have my photography buisness advertised on Google+ and it allows me to see other small buisness around my area. Social media should enhance your engagment. Ideally your first port for a social life should be your community. And whats not to like. Shopping, eating out. Yes please.
