Mareike at www.mariekemurray.com/
I am Mareike Murray, originally from Germany but have been living in Scotland for 6 years now, just outside Glasgow in Uddingston with my husband Gary. I am mother to a 23 week old bump – due in March 2010! I am working full time as a research manager (due to go on maternity leave at the end of January) and also have a photography business which is still in the early stages but which I am very excited about. I am specialising in wedding photography and lifestyle portraiture on location (i.e. I am not using studio equipment). My style is modern, elegant, relaxed - a combination of carefully set up poses and photojournalism. I aim to show the true personality of the people I’m photographing and think the key is a great relationship with the clients and the ability to make them laugh!

Libby at www.bareknees.co.uk/
My name is Libby Young. I live just north of Glasgow with my husband, 2 year old Struan, and 6 month old Angus. I am a solicitor, currently on maternity leave, but have also set up a kilt making business, and will soon have to make the decision about whether to return to employment or not. Bare Knees is my business, and I make hand sewn, bespoke kilts for adults, children and babies. I sell full kilt outfits for adults, and sell or hire full kilt packages for children and babies.As a kilt outfit is a large expense for a customer, I aim to make it as easy and relaxed an experience as possible. If the customer is within Central Scotland, I will travel to them for fittings etc. I make alternative arrangements for customers who are further afield. Each kilt is specifically tailored to the individual customer, and this includes advice on tartan, and accessories. I work with other Scottish craftspeople to ensure that my customers have a wide range of high quality accessories to choose from.I am also happy to tackle more unusual projects, with my most recent being a set of three pink kilts for a breast cancer charity event in Hong Kong.
