Step into Your Highest Self: The Journey of Becoming...
What Would Your Higher Self Allow?
She’d trust you. She’d help you shed what no longer serves you. She’d guide you to step fully into your power—fearless, radiant, and free.
This is Becoming
More than mentorship. Beyond checklists and workbooks.
Becoming is an expansive experience where growth feels natural, aligned, and limitless. Here, you don’t force transformation—you flow with it.
This isn’t about “faking it until you make it.” It’s about trusting the magic already within you and unfolding it with clarity and confidence.
Imagine…
✨ Witnessing the extraordinary right where you are—no faraway dreams, just boundless possibilities within reach.
✨ Feeling the rush of joy as your favourite song inspires you to dance.
✨ Standing at life’s wide horizon, knowing you are exactly where you’re meant to be.
✨ These moments defy explanation—they are felt. That’s Becoming.
What is Becoming?
What is Becoming?
Becoming is a vibrant, soul-led coaching and mentoring space for women ready to:
Embrace their fullest potential with ease and grace.
Align deeply with clarity, confidence, and trust.
Grow in a community that champions and celebrates every step.
This is a space where alignment meets action, where:
Expansion flows naturally. Simplicity feels right. Growth is limitless.
No more conformity. No more checking boxes. Here, you trust the unfolding of your next chapter—fully present, fully alive, and open to magic.
Let's Make It Happen…
No more secrets.
I say what I see when you work with me because I want you to have the life you desire. No time-wasting. No fluff.
Let's get to the heart of it.
There is no one way. No one thing to do. There is only your way. But you have to be brave and bold enough to do what's needed to make this work.
I was the oldest of four so I can be kinda bossy.
I describe myself as kickass with kindness!
I've had my own successful photography business, so I'm super visual too. I dared to dream the life I have created and I took some bold brave moves to make it happen. That's what I'll be getting you to do too.
It's time to take action. It's time to get you super visible.
If you want a supportive strategist, empathic entrepreneur, and confidence coach, I'll help you get there. I'll be your cheerleader and confidant too, making sure you’re doing precisely what's needed to make it happen.
Let’s partner up!
What You'll Receive in Becoming
Live Mentorship Calls: Powerful conversations to spark clarity and inspire bold action.
She’d Framework Sessions: Reflective prompts and transformational practices to help you shed what no longer serves you.
Exclusive Resources: Journaling tools, exercises, and inspiration to keep you aligned and in motion.
Supportive Community: A circle of like-minded women who uplift, empower, and grow together.
This isn’t about downloads or more talk—it’s about real-time alignment and courageous action.
Why Becoming?
I’ve spent 25 years building a business photographing, mentoring and building brands for incredible women, creating a life I love—one I intentionally designed on an island I dreamed into reality.
I created Becoming because I believe in a different path to success—one rooted in ease, alignment, and trust.
Becoming was born from my own journey of shedding what no longer served me: perfectionism, overworking, and fear of not being enough.
I know the power of choosing love over lack and allowing yourself to become aligned to take bold action—and I’m here to ignite you on a journey sharing all of that learning magic with you.
It’s the best investment I’ve ever made. Worth every penny!!
Working with Ursula is like working with a business partner. She 100% gets into the groove of what I’m trying to achieve visually, as well as motivate me to see past my limitations.
Ursula is a perfectionist like myself: a real talent and inspiration. Our energies, creative thinking & enthusiasm make for an amazing team.
My decision to invest in my brand and work with Ursula was one I knew I wanted to make. I chose Ursula because I knew she understood what I needed to achieve.
It was an easy decision and it’s the best investment I’ve ever made. In fact the end results have surpassed my expectations!

Hi, I'm Ursula,
I'm the heart and soul behind STUDIO SOFTBOX. Photography isn't just my profession – it's my passion, and I absolutely love capturing the special moments in people's lives.
After nearly 30 years behind the lens, I still get excited about every shoot.
Home for me is the breathtaking Isle of Arran, where I wake up each day inspired by the stunning landscapes around me.
Whether I'm catching the first light of dawn on the beach or snapping candid shots of my faithful Collie, Billy-Beau, there's always something magical to capture.
My journey started at Nottingham Trent University, where I earned my photography degree in 1997. Like many photographers, I cut my teeth shooting portraits and weddings for friends and family.
Those early experiences helped me build my portfolio and gave me the confidence to launch my own business in 2000. I'm proud to say it went on to win several awards, but what means more to me is the joy I've brought to my clients.
In March 2021, I took a leap of faith and moved to Arran with my wonderful family – my partner Jim (an amazing videographer), and our lovely children, Sonny and Poppy.
Sure, there were some bumps along the way, but I've never been happier. Getting to call this magical place both my office and my home is truly a dream come true.
As a photographer, mentor, and coach, I’ve seen firsthand what it takes to thrive.
I guide women who wear many hats and juggle multiple roles—helping them align with their deepest potential.
I know the journey. I’ve been there. And I’m here to help you.
See your brilliance. Take aligned action.
Step into the woman you’re meant to be.
In this space, you’ll never walk alone. You’ll have a community of ambitious women who are aligned for growth and success.
Together, we’ll achieve what feels impossible on our own. This is your path. The path of love, the path of alignment. Step into it.
Become your best self—surrounded by women who have your back.
Much love, Ursula x
Ursula’s holistic way of coaching feeds the heart and soul of my business...
...my mind, and all the aspects of my business on a regular basis to help me stay on top and keep moving forwards.
After 20 years in business, I'm now filling my online bookings for courses. Ursula's encouragement and support are really paying off and translating into serious £££!!
A year ago I never thought I would be in the position of having a solid brand, and getting noticed on national and international platforms, and have magazine articles featuring me!
I feel much happier in myself
Her drive and thrive group gives me a place where I can be accountable within a community of like-minded businesswomen.
And her coaching keeps me motivated with a constant feed of ideas to achieve my current goals and set new ones for the future.
