Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in photography but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jean Tully, Founder of Adored Boudoir, located in Westerville, OH, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Adored Boudoir is a full-service luxury boudoir and glamour portrait studio that creates unique artwork for our clients. Hair and makeup, wardrobe, and a confidence boost that just may change the way you see yourself.
Tell us about yourself
I created my business to celebrate women, to empower women of all ages, shapes, sizes, colors, and stages of life. Meeting women each day, discussing their vision for portraits, how they see themselves, how they want others to see them, and designing not only finished artwork that wows them and makes them feel amazing about themselves but changes the way they see themselves.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is lifting women up, empowering them, and showing them their beauty.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Time! Running a business efficiently and effectively, I always want to dazzle my clients and exceed their expectations, and there never seem to be enough hours in the day.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be honest and authentic. Be yourself and show your clients the real you.
- Always put your clients first. Give your services with love and care. Listen to them and find the source of not only what they want but why so you can fulfill their needs.
- Keep moving forward. Don't let anything stand in your way. If something doesn't work the way you planned, try something else, and keep pushing forward.
