    Season 2, Episode 8 - Jayde Scukovic

    Season 2, Episode 8 - Jayde Scukovic

    On today’s episode of The Sophie Lea Podcast I chat to the wonderful Jayde from Jayde Archives Photography. We discuss her journey into this industry and all the things she’s learnt along the way. 

    As someone who was born with a creative heart Jayde has always had a calling to make the world around her beautiful. So when the life changing opportunity of moving overseas to Switzerland in 2016 came up, she jumped at the chance to redefine her path, on her own terms. Delving into earning an income from her creativity, Jayde very quickly learnt one of her biggest life lessons so far - it took more than creating something pretty and then waiting for the luck of the world to notice to be successful. Then in 2020 when her world was turned upside down by becoming a mum paired with the global pandemic her lens very naturally shifted into the family photography world and Jayde Archives Photography was born. Since then she’s been honing in on both her art and her knowledge and implementation of running a business. Today she’s very proud to be booked to her full capacity, earning an income that surpasses what she would earn working full time for someone else.

Love it

A wealth of information on photography, life, matrescence and womanhood. It feels like you’re sitting down to have a chat with a friend. It’s so relaxed, calm and encouraging.

Not just for photographers!

I love Sophie’s podcast because much of her knowledge is transferrable across business types. I’m not a tog but I gain so much insight from her energy, mindset and thoughtful questions. It takes a great to willingly share to help those around them and this podcast is evidence of that. This podcast is for anyone who wants to improve their business, their mindset or learn more about the business world.. and enjoy a good chat along the way!

Photographers hand book in a podcast

It’s no secret I’m in love with Sophie so I know I’ll sound biased but this podcast truly is a photographers handbook. Many nuggets of wisdom shared, super relatable and valuable. A true gift. Thank you Sophie, yours truly, president of your fan club, Claire ;-) xx
