I am super stoked that Zenfolio added the blog option. As a teacher and writer, this is where I thrive. I love to write and express myself through writing: always have. Now, I can blend my love of writing and showcase my photography.
Having launched my business back in October, I noticed one thing is for certain: Marketing is hard. I am not one of those people that put myself out there on some pedastal. I'm a bit more insecure about how to market myself and my brand, because I don't exactly know what I am doing. I also second guessed my worth, knowing I might be asking for more than most can afford, but my time and talent are worth it, I believe. I am being 100% honest on that front. While I love the idea of showcasing and sharing my talents, but it also scares me to allow myself to be vulnerable to failure.
Yet, here we are into July and I decided, even if I don't have a clientale following just yet, I still want to show off what I am capable of deliver to potential clients. I think I allowed this plateau to filter into my photography, as well. I haven't been meticuliously picking up my camera as much as I'd like this past year. I plan to make a change with that this fall.
I am also considering displaying my work and buying a few items to hang up in galleries/shops/cafes down town but also, considering opening an Etsy shop with some of my images in the form of cards and some prints. See what I can get, and, perhaps, shift my business focus a bit. We'll see.
Until next time, I suppose! Thanks for reading. :)
