So with months of canceled events in 2020 and nothing but time to think where do I go from here? I finally realized I can make intimate packages geared toward social distancing and smaller crowds. I can start creating where I want my business to grow toward.
In the Fall of 2019 I announced my semi-retirement from Rodeo Photography which I had been working in for 10 years. I knew I would have to make a re-adjustment to my business and life then but I did not know a pandemic was coming, that my bookings would cancel and 2020 would be uncertain. Life happens though so instead of panicking to find my footing I really sat with my thoughts and determined what I would like to do.
In 2019 I photographed a super intimate wedding, I am talking bride, groom, officiant and myself. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and I truly loved it, I was inspired, I had fun and the couple had fun taking the pictures they wanted together of themselves.
And then April of 2019, I got to do a super creative multi-day shoot with a friend. Boudoir, Couples Boudoir, Artistic Nudes, Family, and Equine. It was a lot of fun, she let me experiment and I loved so much of what we did I knew it was something I wanted to do again and again. The Couple Boudoir, the Artistic Nudes, the Creativity.
2019 unwittingly inspired me to start heading toward new dreams. Rodeo was a love of my photographic life for awhile and I have equestrian packages to stay connected to that love but I am ready to try new things. So that was what my 2020 schedule was gearing up to be but then Covid struck and that dream was paused for health and safety reasons.
Now I want to aim for that again. I want to create the beautiful moments that clients are dreaming of. I want to grow the imitate side of my business.
