Last week I finished reading a book called “Fast Track Photographer” by Dane Sanders, and the ironic thing is that it took me 2 years to finish the book! I wouldn’t say I am a slow reader, just life happened…. We had a baby, I left my job, we moved to Indiana, we lived with friends for 10 months, we bought a house, we had another baby and here we are 2 years later!
The book was great and I highly recommend it to aspiring photographers. One of the things I liked about it was it gave some great questions to help think about what kind of business you want to have and what kind of clients you want to serve.
Here is an opportunity for you to get to know a little more about me. These are some of the questions I used for brainstorming.
- Strongest aspect of my personality: joyful—approachable
- Defines a celebration: family and friends present—laughter and memories being made
- Food and beverage I identify with: home cooked food and a big glass of red wine
- Spiritual outlook: We are able to love, b/c God first loved us. We are all loved and are worthy of it!
- Thoughts on marriage—two lives coming together as one to share in the love that God gave them and to love each other to Heaven.
These Things best gels with my personality:
- Car: reliable. Gotta love Honda!
- Restaurant: casual and warm—with food full of flavor—feels like home
- Magazine: one that makes you want to keep reading and brings the humor out of life. And you want more after you have reached the last page
- Writer: one that is insightful and makes you think about aspects of life.
- Musical instrument: flute—beautiful, simple, and complements the other instruments
- Musician: one that makes you want to sing along…especially in the car on a sunny day with the windows down
I desire to market myself to the average person. I believe that everyone deserves to have professional quality images of their wedding that capture the essence of the day so that the story of the day is retold just by looking at the images, so they can tell that story over and over again for generations to come, even after they are gone. I believe that wedding photography should be affordable, and understood as an investment in more than just the wedding day. A wedding dress is worn once, the food is eaten while it is hot, flowers are the most beautiful when they are fresh….your photographs will allow you to re-live all the details your day for years to come, especially the emotions.
