“Portraiture is an experience, one that can help you grow in courage, confidence, and self respect.”
I’ve just rewritten my home page and FINALLY put my offers into words over the last week. The link is in my bio (just a scroll and a tap away) but I tell you what:
Shout out to anyone who manages their own website or writes the copy for it (with no help from a large language model).
Grinding away, writing and re-writing website copy over the last fortnight has meant that every now and then I’ve come up with something really good. I struck one of the veins of the gold that’s inside my (business) practice.
In every portrait session over the last two years I’ve paid close attention to what goes on and to what those women have said, not so I can get all sales-y on my website (or even here on IG because every second person is selling their social a$$ off amirite).
I’ve paid close attention because taking pics may be my j.o.b. but I don’t see myself just as some kind of service provider. It’s more than that. (Trust an artist to need to turn her work into something essential to living lol.)
Anyway, that first line up there 👆 is something I put at the top of my homepage today. I’ve experimented with other ones but when I cut and pasted it…then read it…then scrolled through the portraits which follow…I felt a little pang of emotion, actually.
The kind that means “Yes, I love that.”
This isn’t spin. I’ve witnessed quiet transformations enough times now and read enough OMG THANK YOU emails to know I’m on to something. And every single time I find the words to describe the process, my work gets clearer in its quality and purpose.
Portraiture is an experience, one that can help you grow in courage, confidence, and self respect.
They’re .
Curious? Have a squizz via the link in my biooooo.
