my hope for you
I can specifically remember the day over twelve years ago that I said, “I think I really want to be a wedding photographer.” I had no formal training, had never taken any type of class or workshop, I lived in a tiny town with no industry connections, but I had a passion for capturing people and telling their stories. Fast forward twelve years, I would never have known where this amazing journey of photography would have taken me. I’ll be honest, there were a lot of tears, late nights, mistakes and lessons learned along the way. But I am so thankful I pushed through and kept going. I am blessed to have my dream job and do something I love every day.
My hope is for you to also secede in your business and reach those crazy goals that you feel are so far away. I want you to be able to discover your unique brand and mission, reach your dream clients, market with confidence, be profitable and create a business you love and enjoy. And hopefully a lot less struggles along the way!
