Tell us about yourself
Taylor bought me a camera as a wedding gift, and a few years after playing around, I started shooting maternity and eventually couples and weddings when Taylor decided to join me! Being able to capture all the little moments from multiple angles on a wedding day is something we both love. It’s all about the art for us!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I had a photo of mine not only published in photo life magazine, winning second place in the wildlife category but also that same photo features in an art exhibit in Rome, Italy!
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The slow times. Winter can be dead and motivating, but this is when you really need to focus on your business. Blog if you can and run ads!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Build a website first, all your other marketing efforts will all point toward your website, and SEO will help you get customers.
- Get yourself online, all socials, and get your business listed on all online directories. It’ll help with SEO!
- Learn your craft like the back of your hand and have confidence in it! It’ll be what makes people give You their business.
