Lessons of 2024 and over the years that I’ll be taking with me into 2025:


Lesson 1: If you think you've arrives, then you will be your own limitation. The best thing you can do for your business is to understand that in order to grow, you'll always need to invest in yourself, stay learning, and adapt.


Lesson 2: You don't have to be THE photographer for everyone. The right people will be so excited to invest in what you have to offer.


Lesson 3: It's better to be labeled as "too expensive" than to be treated like a cheap photographer whose worth can be negotiated.


Lesson 4: Most people don't see what you see. You have a unique opportunity to show them how beautiful they are. Don't take this lightly.


Lesson 5: If you're only in it for the money, move on to something else. These are people's stories you're dealing with. Handle with care.


Lesson 6: Take time to create for yourself and never stop dreaming. New ideas and creativity are birthed here.


Lesson 7: You were made for this!

Let's strive to be better and take lessons from our previous years to help us grow and thrive. And always remember, no matter the challenges, what other people say or even your inner critic...you were made for this! So keep on creating and start dreaming again.
