Ironing the wrinkles

I’ve had a camera in hand since I visited the zoo on a field trip in about the 2nd grade (I actually still have an envelope full of tiger photos from that trip!) At some point my mom bought me a purple point & shoot camera to which I’m sure I kept Ritz camera’s mail-order film service in business. Life carried on and I started this photography business after our wedding in 2009.

I got by with offering low cost wedding photography in those first 3 years, gaining quite a few clients who were sweet enough to take a chance on a relatively new photographer. Then the three year slump hit with a vengeance. Bookings slowed to a crawl and I’ve felt a little like I’m just treading water to keep my head up. It’s time to shake things up around here…. thus, my confession a few weeks ago. This little lackluster blog is about to get a face-lift, something I’ve known needed to be done, but I’d been avoiding the expense. Now, do I think a blog makes a business? No. But do I think it’s a main highway to achieving a successful business? Yes. My highway needs repaving, new signage and some of those pretty wildflower project patches to easy your eye.

So here’s to getting those orange barrels up and back down quickly, lots of pretty to look at AND a new blog post from me EVERY Tuesday! Gotta get back to consistent sharing over here…. and I have so much to get posted! Cheers!
