I’ve never really thought I was the kind to fit into certain molds. I always felt a little bit different growing up, and I’ve learned to accept that. :) Recently, I’ve felt like there is this “photographer” mold I’ve been trying to squeeze myself into. I made this blog to be all about my business and to showcase the work I do when I’m hired by my wonderful clients. It was to be professional, and mostly just about work. Well…I don’t really like that approach anymore. I want this blog to really be about me as a person and as a photographer. I want potential clients to hire me, not just hire the images, if that makes sense. I’ve been reading some really great business books lately and all of them have challenged the reader to realize what makes them different from the “competition.” I was really struggling to realize that one thing that makes me different because I was looking for a small thing. It just took some time to realize the thing that makes me different is that there is no one else out there who is exactly me. I may still be on my journey of figuring out who exactly that is, but from what I know so far, I’ve never really met someone who is as weird/unique/passionate about certain things as me. For my future brides and clients, I want this blog to show my true personality and my life for what it is. I’m hoping that you’ll find something here to connect with me about so that after you are my client, we will continue our relationship as friends. From now on, I’m hoping that this blog will be the home to all of my professional work, my personal photography projects (something I want to work on more this year as another 2010 goal,) and a place for you to get to know me and what makes me who I am. I’d love your feedback and if you want to ask me questions about anything at all, visit my formspring!
Here’s a little peek into my life and what January is unfortunately like in the desert! I’m definitely jealous of those of you with snow, rain, or really anything but sun!!
