Name:\u00a0<\/strong>Sarah Pearce<\/p>\n Founder of:\u00a0<\/strong>Travelshoot<\/p>\n What is Travelshoot all about:\u00a0<\/strong>Connecting\u00a0travellers with professional photographers in over 90 cities worldwide. Travellers make the memories, and we capture them.<\/p>\n What about when you’re not working:<\/strong>\u00a0I spend any non work time with my family. I\u2019ve got a 1yr old daughter London, and am expecting my second human (non business) baby in January next year. So weekends typically start with a breakfast out and if we can a trip to the coast.<\/p>\n Pets:<\/strong>\u00a02 male Shih Tzus \u2013 both Huey and Morris who\u2019ve been with us for 10years. They loved a stint in Melbourne as they lay by heaters most of the day and enjoyed trips to the abundance of dog friendly cafes Melbourne has to offer!<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 What is your favourite travel destination?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Internationally it would have to be Paris \u2013 just the striking beauty of the city never disappoints. I\u2019ve been lucky to get there a few times and my favourite days are the ones you have nothing planned and can just wander the streets of the central arristonements and take in all the cafes, markets and just local culture and architecture. On a local level, I love Byron Bay \u2013 nothing is more relaxing than a weekend getaway there.<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 Why did you start Travelshoot and how long have you been in business for?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n 3 years ago I was in New York for the first time with my husband and a friend of ours was a professional photographer. We ended up having an hour with him to help him with content for his website. Ironically when we got the images back, we were in awe of how awesome they were \u2013 unlike any travel selfies we had ever taken. My favourite was a huge black and white frame of the Manhattan skyline with us together in the shot. We weren\u2019t looking at the camera, so unlike your standard travel selfie, it was quite artistic and just more natural, and the ultimate souvenir of that trip for us. So this was the brainchild for the business.<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 Tell us about your own Travelshoots?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Since the original shoot in New York that started it all, I\u2019ve been fortunate to have a couple other Travelshoot experiences of my own. My husband and I had a shoot done in Melbourne to capture some maternity memories when I was at the end of my pregnancy. We spent some time in Melbourne and loved the cafes and restuarants around Hosier Lane and Federation Square, so this is where we chose to have our shoot. And then recently, we took our first family holiday in the Maldives and my daughter had her first birthday \u2013 so we had a Travelshoot done on the island we were staying in. The photos compared to our selfies do so much more justice to just how beautiful the Maldives is!<\/p>\n Sarah with her family in the Maldives, is an example of one of the many types of photos that Travelshoot takes.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 What do you love most about Travelshoot?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We\u2019re quite lucky in that not only do we get customer feedback, but we get to see all these incredible memories of customers travel adventures and special trips away. So we can see for ourselves what our service has allowed them to have for the years ahead to cherish. My favourite is customers who\u2019ve done a Travelshoot perhaps every year, and you get to see their kids grow older in each experience, family memories are such a cool thing to help document.\n<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 Where is Travelshoot offered in, nationally and internationally?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We have\u00a0over 90 locations on the network now<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 both across Australia and the globe. Our most popular destinations to date seem to be:\u00a0New York<\/a>,\u00a0Paris<\/a>,\u00a0Bali<\/a>,\u00a0Hawaii<\/a>\u00a0and in Australia both\u00a0Sydney<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Byron Bay<\/a>\u00a0are popular. Everything \u2013 holidays for couples and families, honeymoons and engagements, surprise wedding proposals, girls getaways, and destination events like group birthday holidays or family reunions. We\u2019ve also just started offering a service for destination weddings. Yes! We\u2019ve had a few actually. Including myself in Melbourne on our maternity shoot! Most of our other pet loving customers are families or couples who\u2019ve had a Travelshoot experience done close to home to capture some updated memories. Taking their dogs to their local beach is a common request for pet lovers, and our photographers love it!<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 When does a phone camera and selfie stick just not cut it? <\/strong>Why do you think professional photography still resonates with people<\/strong>?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Travel selfies and your own phone or camera snaps when you travel absolutely still have their place. Of course people don\u2019t spend their whole holiday with a personal photographer documenting every moment.<\/p>\n But a Travelshoot helps people have at least an album of really special memories. Ones that get the best angles of that incredible city as our locals know where to go, photos that get everyone in the frame without awkward selfies, and most importantly \u2013 the job of a professional photographer is to make memories authentic. Allowing a couple or family to walk around Paris and have a laugh, and capturing those moments that aren\u2019t staged where people are just being them \u2013 they\u2019re the moments only a professional photographer knows how to capture.<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 Who are you finding values this type of travel experience?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n We find females value the importance of capturing couple or family memories the most. They book Travelshoots to capture important moments in their life \u2013 family holidays, bucket list travel adventures, girl\u2019s getaways, honeymoons, and weddings.<\/p>\n One of the interesting reasons we keep hearing from mothers in particular is they are \u2018frustrated\u2019 they are always the ones taking photos on a family holiday, but this means they never make it into the photos themselves!<\/p>\n Q.\u00a0 Best tips for someone wanting memorable holiday photos?<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Outside of taking their own photos, we obviously recommend a service like ours. Particularly for big trips and once in a lifetime memories, we really tried to make our\u00a0experiences affordable<\/a>, around the same cost of a hire car for a couple of days \u2013 so that it wasn\u2019t just a luxury experience that\u2019s not accessible for everyone. For people who book a Travelshoot to get memorable holidays, we just recommend for them to be themselves \u2013 the best photos are the ones where clients aren\u2019t trying to pose and are just being relaxed, having fun and being themselves. Our photographers are really anti-posing, the more natural the better. We can accommodate all requests up to usually a few days ahead since we have a big network of photographers. But we definitely recommend the earlier the better so clients can get the dates and locations they\u2019d prefer.<\/p>\n Would you love to have a special photo shoot with your furbaby or on your next holiday?\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/span> PetCloud users get $50 Off their first Travelshoot<\/a> experience.
