2018 A year in review…
What a beautiful year it’s been!! Time certainly does fly when you’re having fun 🙂 I can honestly say that this year has taught me so much–as a photographer, business owner, mother, and officially a wife now! So many personal and professional milestones that my amazing clients have been apart of every step of the way over the last year and last 7 years!
206 AWESOME CLIENTS PHOTOGRAPHED IN 2018
~ TOP 2018 MEMORIES ~
Of course my TOP MEMORY for 2018 was that I married my best friend…after 14 long years together we finally made it official this summer…. and was so happy to have many of my clients that have become friends/family attend.
CLIENT APPRECIATION
This year I celebrated my 40th birthday and wanted to celebrate with a fun and silly Client Appreciation Event in February. Cupcakes and Confetti! With over 25 of my little clients (and some parents too) we had so much fun and laughs…
MENTORING
In January we welcomed our Co-op Student Caroline to the Studio. Mentoring has always been something I love doing and having her working with me daily was a wonderful experience. Over the 5 months that she was at the studio Caroline became a great addition to the team.
FUNDRAISING
In March we hosted our Easter Sessions inviting our furry farm friends raising $400 for Black Goat Farm and Sanctuary. All well educating our little clients about farm animals and their care.
LEARNING
In September I had the amazing opportunity to work and attend TUCC Conference. Working with and learning from some of Portrait Photography industry leaders. Including Lisa from The Milky Way, Alli from Glow Portraits and Heidi Hope Photography among many other amazing teachers. Another dream come true!
WHATS NEXT?
In November this year I was offered the position on staff with APNPI – Accredited Professional Newborn Photographers International as the Accreditation and Competition Program Coordinator helping to elevate newborn photography industry safety and standards. I am very excited about this new work and business opportunity and look forward to working on achieving professional accreditation myself in newborn and maternity.
From the bottom of my heart I want to thank each and every one of my clients for making this year truly special. After 7 wonderful years, it’s only because of you I get to make a living supporting my family, doing what I love most and for that I am forever grateful. – Gwen
