Sydney newborn & family portrait photographer Sophie Partyka from Sophie Lea Photography.
Sophie Partyka has been in the photography biz for more than 18 years, and been running her own portrait business for 10 years.

How the best way to grow is to just get in and do the work, don’t wait for everything to be “right”
How cultivating genuine relationships is the real secret to building a successful business
What Sophie believes is one of the big misconceptions about building a successful brand, and
