As I've been contemplating things and how I want this business to progress, I think I want to do less events* and more portraits. Like family portraits, but also just portrait portraits. Seniors, kids, headshots, theatrical headshots...Also? I want to focus more on families and clients who aren't "normal." Which means the people that are … Continue reading A tiny pivot

Happy New Year
It's taken our house four days to finally settle back into a routine (sort of!). January is thankfully a super light month for photography work and a much needed chance to close up business for the previous year (all that fun administrative stuff). It's also a chance to sit back and rethink what went right … Continue reading Happy New Year
April!!
Apparently I'm really good at monthly posts. Hm. No problem there. I have been thinking this month about what kind of photography I do more of. I have plenty of families, which I love, don't get me wrong there! And a fair amount of headshots which are fun in that I can work on my … Continue reading April!!
Feb-RU-ary
It's a new year! Lots to juggle in the every evolving life of a work at home small business owner and parent.
Happy New Year!

For starters, I'm doing all my invoicing via square. SO much easier to keep up with than my multi-paged color-coded spreadsheets. You can still … Continue reading Well, Hello!
Your Monthly Blog Post
Funny how back in January (my least busy month of the year) I was blogging all the time! Well, we're into the fall season now. I've got two schools booked so far and will probably get another regular on the calendar soon too. Working on my fall family shooting schedule which goes out Labor Day … Continue reading Your Monthly Blog Post
What? It’s the end of March already??
I swear I'm still here. Deep in Mitzvah season and getting into school and senior photos soon too, plus spring, and 5th grade yearbook creation, theatre rehersal carpooling, still unemployed husband and all the fun that comes with switching your health insurance from regular insurance to medicaid and trying to get two of your favorite … Continue reading What? It’s the end of March already??
Identifying my ideal clients: A List
