Photos You Can Feel

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in photography but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Crystal Lawburgh, Founder of CLP, located in Greensburg, IN, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a family, newborn, and boudoir photographer in Indiana. I offer a unique experience to my clients, providing outfits through my extensive client closet, having a 100+-year-old house turned into a studio, and making photo sessions FUN! I want to document special moments and turn them into a tangible love story for families to hold onto for years to come.

Tell us about yourself

I'm Crystal, just a small-town farm girl following her dream. I live in Greensburg, IN, a small town where I am surrounded by all things beautiful: open pastures, peaceful woods, endless farmland, and family.

My husband and three beautiful girls are my world, with photography being a close second. Photography started as a hobby and became a burning passion, personally and professionally. I love photography and all it has done for me as a person. It has been therapeutic in so many ways. I have such a love for art, and I am constantly reading, practicing, and learning so that I can continue to grow my craft. That is one of my favorite things about it; there is always something new to learn.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I am so proud of the fact that I built my business from the ground up and have flexibility in my schedule and pricing, which is so beneficial for my family!

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Balance! I LOVE my job, and therefore it never feels like work. I am known to overwork myself because I enjoy it so much.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

I would say focus on what makes YOU happy. Do what you love, and your passion will shine through in the service you provide. Focus on customer experience over having the best of everything right away. Referrals and word of mouth is the best way to grow your business! Keep your people happy!

I am so grateful for my business and my clients/followers for supporting me!
