As a fellow photography business owner, I can relate to the occasional need for assistance, whether with building a clientele base, managing communication, studio and shooting assistance, creating a portfolio, detailed retouching or even basic post-production work. There is just not enough time in the day even with the smallest of tasks. You could hire interns, but what if you don't have the time to train? The answer is clear: outsourcing. And whom better to outsource than to a local photographer with a strong background in communications, photography business start-up and management, Adobe Photoshop and who believes in the success of her peers.
Please contact me to see how I can apply any of the following services to help your business thrive:
From basic image formatting with Lightroom to detailed retouching with Photoshop, you show me your style preferences and I'll take it from there. I'm adept with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and metadata input -- a key step with basic image formatting. I can also work with you to create an organized archiving solution that is tailored to your needs.
My experience as a professional in communications and public relations has prepared me for this very service. From administrative tasks, such as basic website updating and contact database maintenance, to management tasks, such as social media marketing and promotional writing, I can provide many aspects of your communications needs. Let me craft a strategy to help solidify your business as a brand.
When it comes to your images, there is a difference between what sells and what personally moves you. When it comes to promoting your business, every image counts - whether for you or against you. Sometimes it is difficult to be objective about your images. By helping you select your most impactful images to integrate into key areas of your website and online portfolio, the chances of developing your business and brand increase. Plus, I can work with you to build an online and physical portfolio that is unique to you and your business, which will help to reach the right target audience.
Whether you are trying to find your first clients or expand your current client base, the process can seem a little overwhelming. Physically going out to venues and services known for providing photographers to their clients can be time consuming. "Cold calling" can seem intimidating. Let my experience in networking and resourcing free up your time to focus on the heart and soul of your business - your photography!
I did mention that I'm a photographer, right? I have over 20 years of experience behind the camera and I specialize in portraiture, events, weddings, restaurant and culinary photography. Not only am I familiar with studio lighting, but I also have a small studio, should you need it.
In the business, we use the word "Investment" because we believe that by retaining our photography services, our clients invest in their memories, their image and/or their art collection. The same idea applies here -- I believe the employment of my services is an investment in you and your business.
Meeting with me is free and fun, too, if I do say so myself! Email, call (1.240.731.8485) or fill out the contact form so we can discuss and organize your needs. You may find our meeting to be beneficial enough to not use my services at the present time, and that is fine. Here is why...
