Long post, but hopefully it's a good readโจ๏ธ
It has been a very challenging year so far. It seems like I've had setback after setback. The start of the year was slower, I was ill, and we had snow storms, which made it a rough start. I ended up going back to my 9-5 part-time, which is fine because I love my Dollywood family ๐ฆ๐๐ธ
We got into a car accident, and things have just been super stressful. There's a lot of personal things I've been dealing with as well. Quick shout out to all the small business owners that run their business and deal with day-to-day life! This s**t is hard Lol.
All that together plus running my own business has been a bit overwhelming this year. It's even been difficult for me to post on social media regularly because there's just so much going on.
But there have been good things too! I've photographed a few events, a wedding, done some markets, portraits, and have done quite a few real easte photography jobs. I'm also working on getting a business strategy certificate. So it's definitely not all bad ๐
All this got me thinking of what kind of photography I want to start focusing on. I feel I want to start moving more towards specializing in event photography and real estate photography. I've really come to enjoy doing real estate photography. And event photography just really gets my creativity flowing. If you're in need of an event photographer or know someone who is hmu!!
Now, does this mean I won't be doing portraits? Absolutely not, you can still come to me for your portrait needs! I'm just trying to nail down what I want the majority of my business to focus on. You'll definitely see me posting about Fall minis and Christmas minis! A lot of people have also asked about weddings. I'm more than happy to discuss your needs for a wedding, but I am focusing on smaller weddings and elopements ๐
You'll still see me at markets from time-to-time to!
I want to make sure my clients, my job, AND my family are getting the best version of me. Thank you to all my clients and supporters! Please continue to support my little business in any way you can. You all keep me going strong ๐ช
You made it to the end! Thanks for reading ๐๐ธ
