They're urged to find out what kinds of people they want to work with.... who they want to take pictures of. Photographers are told that you can't market to EVERYONE.... no way.. no how. It just wouldn't work.... Which is why it's important...  View This Post >

Branding

I
was chatting with another photography friend last night... and I brought up 'branding' and if she had a brand.. she responded with - "I'm kind of in this place of trying to find my style....

I started charging next to nothing...  View This Post >

esterday officially started this new phase in my life.... I had actually 'forgotten' that I was a full-time photographer, because Chase had been home with me - but he returned back to work yesterday... and then there's that awkward -- I just started crying out of nowhere thing yesterday morning....

T
his post has the potential to be super long.. I could talk about how much photography means to me and how I've always enjoyed taking pictures of people. I could talk about how this is my passion and that it makes me giddy just thinking about it! And although these things are true.... I'm not going to talk about those things. I'm going to tell you that as of today, I am a...  View This Post >
