What's your business, and who are your customers?

Wedding Photography, my clients are brides and grooms.

Tell us about yourself

I loved everything about weddings, and I was a photographer already, so I chose to focus on this type of photography.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I have been a PPA member for years, but I finally got the prestigious PPA Certified recognition.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

To focus on the great clients and not allow the few here and there who are unpleasant to knock me off my game.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Have a "why" as to what you are doing.
  2. Be ready to work long hours and work 7 days a week, 365 days a year...for years.
  3. Stay on top of your P&L so you can focus on areas that are profitable.
