This is my second “sharing of my website” post. Today I will be sharing my About Me and my Let’s Talk pages. I love the nostalgia I shared on my About Me page (my first cameras, posing my siblings ever since I can remember, photos of my favorite people, my favorite things list, and my favorite quote). ✨

Before I shut down my business and cancel subscriptions, I wanted to find a way to save all the work put into my website, so I can look at it whenever I want.
Reflecting on the close of my business, I am proud that I was able to do everything on my own: invoices, contracts, payments, deposits, scheduling, staging, organizing, cleaning, photographing, editing, building rapport with my clients for repeat customers, and posting to my social media for engagement.
I am also grateful that I had places to reach out for help when I needed it. At the start of the business, going to a mentor was a game-changer for knowledge in proper posing techniques and safety for the babies I would be working with in the business. My mentor also gave me tips on what I would need to have in my studio and was a resource whenever I needed additional follow up.
I received the most help with my website. For my website, I spent months writing out what I wanted to say and how I wanted to present myself to potential clients looking for a newborn photographer. Megan at Modern World Consulting took those ideas and organized it all into a cohesive website for me which came out even better than I could have imagined. She had the experience and knowledge to advise me on how things would work best, and I am so grateful. Before my business completely shuts down, I wanted to make sure I didn’t lose all that we had created without posting it as a way to look back on it whenever I am in the mood to reflect on such a sweet time in my life.
If there is ever a new photographer reading any of this, please reach out to me for any advice you may need. As I’ve been selling my inventory (since October), I’ve enjoyed meeting so many photographers, especially those just getting started. I love sharing ideas and giving advice in the same way other photographers did so for me.
