Liv Buchanan - The Little Op Shop & Photographer

Today on the podcast I speak to the awesome Liv Buchanan – owner of two epic small businesses, The Little Op Shop and Liv Buchanan Photography.After having her daughter, Liv was blown away by the amount of incredible secondhand kids clothing that was waiting to be loved again. She found shopping second-hand to be a great sustainable (and budget-friendly) option for clothing kids, so she decided to start 'The Little Op Shop' - carefully curated to be filled with fun, vintage and individual pieces that you won't find as you stroll through the mall. As well as being a mum and op-shop retailer, Liv has also built a business as a family photographer, taking photos of children and their families, capturing real, everyday moments. I would suggest that a lot of us find ourselves in a situation similar to Liv, often it’s becoming a full-time parent or it might be having a full time job (or both) but having the seed of ‘an idea’ that could turn into a business, but never acting on it. Liv is a great example of someone that found her idea, well ideas, and just started. She’s turned two creative outlets into profitable small side businesses that provide strong foundations for future growth when she’s ready. My hope is that her story (so far) will be inspiring for any of us that are sitting on an idea of something that we would love to do. I know you will enjoy our conversation as much as I did.To get your second-hand kids shopping fix, make sure you check out The Little Op Shop at The Little Op Shop or follow on Instagram @thelittleop.shop.
