Update on business/life

I said things would be different...

Some things have been, others have stayed the same.

I've done more photoshoots this year which has been a wonderful feeling. Last year I had no weddings booked. Plenty of inquiries, but nothing stuck. This year I have 2 weddings, which is so exciting. 

But I have been struggling with prioritizing my art/work. It's so challenging to be a care-giver and reserve space for yourself. Your desires. Your dreams. Your ambitions.

I have got in this terrible cycle of staying up late to work on something, anything, on the computer. Which causes me to have a late start to my day, which makes me leave work late, get home late. And I have to go to sleep and not create anything, or stay up late just to have time to create. I've seen my need for change. My sleep has been suffering. Things cannot continue like this.

Meanwhile, change is on the horizon

changes to the website

Besides the personal changes and potential for change and my inner thoughts I have shared, there are some changes that have been made to the website.

I updated the home page.

Now, when people visit, they see samples of my work immediately. Then I share my roles as a photographer, videographer and graphic designer. Then it moves down to the other regular parts of my home page. 

I'm so indecisive about what should be seen first. What it most effective? What tells people the most about me and my Artistry? What would make people want to look more into my website? To stay and browse. What captures people's attention?

I want people to look at all I have created. To browse and watch and look and listen to my music, as if visiting an art gallery. But I also want them to know I am here to serve. I have services I have offer.
And I want to create art for people.

I'm constantly seeing ideas from other photographers and I think to myself "Oh, I would love to incorporate that!" And I tweak, and I move, and I add and I edit and am constantly trying to fine-tune the front page. But I want to focus on other pages and have them finished.

What's next?

I have just 2 pages left to upload to the wedding section. Before the 2 weddings I am doing later this year. I also have articles I want to finish and/or create for the FAQ section. These articles will help future Brides decide on important things for their weddings. Like what venue to book, what to look for in a wedding venue. Should one hire a videographer? Etc. 

There are thousands of resources provided to Brides talking about such topics. But I am shining light on these issues from my POV, and also sharing my work along the way. 

Besides the wedding section, I would LOVE to get back to creating videos and content for my store.

That's all for now

Nothing exciting, just yet.

Only small whispers of what could be. What is hoped to be.
