2013 was a great year. Crazy enough it was my 11th year in business and within the year I was able to photograph weddings in and out of state, photograph families and newborns, grads and many, many children. I am so blessed to say that I am exactly where I want to be and feel overwhelmed with the support from friends, family and wonderful clients. Since I was in middle school it was my dream to own my own photography business and shoot photos until I could no longer. I am blessed. So very blessed!
2013 holds the record year for me for photographing and doing the most family sessions I have ever shot in a year!! I was also challenged and pushed to define my target audience and work on some of the business items that were pushed to the back burner in the last 9 years since having my own kiddos.
So in 2014, here is what is new for me…
1) New branding, new logo, new packaging. After working with the talented Meg Long, I can happily say that I feel like my branding now fits me. It embodies who I have become over the duration of my business and I absolutely LOVE it!
2) New blog site (finally!!)
3) New web-site and design (set to come out in March or April!!)
4) Studio openings!! I am so thrilled with the opportunity to work with First Day Photo and to be able to use their beautiful space to photograph beautiful clients, especially in the chilly months of winter. Owning and having my own studio is something I aspire toward, but I have committed myself not to go this direction until all my kids are in school full time (which crazy enough will be in September of 2014!!!)
5) Lastly, celebrating and starting my 12th year in business. It is so crazy to think that while in college this dream was becoming a reality, and I am put on the “seasoned” list of photographers.
There is so much still to learn and other opportunities that I can’t wait to delve into and like I said earlier, I can’t wait for the 2014 year and what the Lord has in store for the business and life for the Feders. Thanks to all for making the journey with me and for helping to form the business into what it has become.
Here we come 2014!!
