It’s often you find individual women running small businesses in Gungahlin and competing against each other to get the cliental, but a group of local small business women have come together to form a collaborative group to provide photographic, makeup, hair and nail services to women all over Canberra, to help each other expand and develop their businesses to become more successful.
Kerry Sleeman of Kerry Sleeman Photography in Forde recently decided to pursue her lifelong love of photography and started a small photography and makeup business. Kerry has her own home photographic studio and has developed a love for fashion and wedding photography. Kerry is an Emerging Member of the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers (AIPP). As her work has become more popular with the local photographic and modelling industry community, word of mouth and social media in Canberra this enabled joint collaboration to form with local full time Hair Stylist Julie Okley of Dilkara Hair in Bonner and Club Hair CISAC. Julie specialises in high fashion hair styling and has been a local hair stylist for many years. Starting out in hairdressing at 19, Julie is highly regarded by her clients within the Canberra region. Julie is currently launching her own hair range, Dilkara Essence Australia which will be launched in June 2014 with the assistance of the ACT Government. This is an Indigenous hair range that will have the quality bush essences as recommended by Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Kerry and Julie also collaborate with Nail Technician Leanne Howe of Nailed It by Leanne in Ngunnawal. Leanne specialises in a range of nail services including Delux – Shellac Gel Manicures and Nail Parties. Leanne takes pride in her work and loves interacting with her clients, providing specialised advice and products to encourage fabulous looking nails. Leanne provides these services after hours and on weekends with the bonus of you being able to enjoy the experience of being pampered in the comfort in your own home. Leanne has been singled out recently by HerCanberra as one of the top 5 Nail Artist in Canberra.
“We all love working as a team, meeting new people and generally having fun with our creativity!” says Kerry This team of like-minded business women work together regularly to provide clients with services including photographic, makeup, hair and nails for local model photo shoots for portfolio building, glamour photography and special occasion functions for the general community.
