Summary from Leigh – Bluewolf Photography, Victoria.

Hi, my name’s Leigh and I run a small business in Victoria called Blue Photography. We're a high-volume photography company, mainly working with childcare centres, kindergartens, and schools. We've been operating since 2013, and in 2023 we started working with HVP Solutions and Netlife.

A little about me, I have three daughters and way too many hobbies! Honestly, I wanted to spend more time with my kids and doing the things I love, rather than constantly stressing about the business. By the end of 2022, we hit a turning point. We were still doing everything manually, lots of outdated, time-consuming processes and it just became too much.

That’s when we reached out for help. We partnered with HVP and began the journey of simplifying and modernising our workflow. It wasn’t easy, those first few months took a lot of effort and some tough questions, but the results were incredible. In 2023, we doubled our sales. That shift alone was a game-changer.

Working with HVP has been a true partnership. They genuinely want to help grow your business, because your success helps them too. The support is ongoing, with lots of back-and-forth, great advice, and insights from across the industry.

Fast forward a few years, and now I’m almost completely out of the day-to-day operations. Our profits have grown each year, I have more time for myself and my family, and I’m not constantly stressed anymore. Back in 2022, I was on the verge of shutting it all down—and now, we’re thriving.

Huge thanks to the team—Glen, you’re a legend. I’ve really valued our chats and support along the way. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you.
