A bit about me...
I am Jo Menneer, I've lived in Bath for 34 years and been with Neill my husband and partner in crime for 35 years.
Neill has been a photographer all his life and I have done everything from nannying, retail, coaching and now running the business side of the two studios.
We have an amazing small team of photographers & make-up artist who make work even more fun.
We have two grown up children Phoebe and Rupert and a badly behaved scruffy terrier called Jaspa.

What made you join WMB and how do you plan to make the most of the network?
I've avoided networking for years as always saw it as a marketing tool, but as most of the people in networking groups were not working with my avatar it didn't make sense. WMB seems to offer so much more than business leads, there's training and support plus the potential of marketing.

Saturday's is a work day when we do family portraits mainly, so Sunday and Mondays are my weekend. I am most likely on a country walk with a pub visit (hopefully that will be a reality soon) and yoga.

A big hat and lip balm.
