Trying to brand myself

I want to work on marketing myself.  I think it's hard to get that started, but once the ball is rolling, I hope things will start to happen.  I have decided to focus more on my strengths in an effort to be successful.  I do truly enjoy photography and I hope I can do something more artistic with it in the future.  I want to feel confident in what I am doing.  If anyone has any marketing ideas for the creative industry, do tell!!!!

Amy Parrish's Open House

So, I stopped by Amy's open house Saturday, February 28th and it was fantastic.  The studio was full of goodies and had beautiful images hung all over.  Amy was so sweet and there were children everywhere.  I assume some of them were clients, but everyone was having a good time.  I learned that she and I have somewhat similar situations in our academic careers and then discovering photography.  She is an inspiration to me and should be to photographers who aren't sure if they can do it.  It's a beautiful studio and I wish her all the best.
