What makes your brand unique?
My brand is based on my sentimental heart. While I love watching my own babies gown, it also conversely makes my heart hurt knowing they’ll never be exactly that little ever again. My heart needs printed photos of my memories so I feel like I can hold onto these moments and so my mind can come to accept that my babies will one day be grown. And when that day comes I will still have these memories to hold in my hands. I know that many mothers feel this and it’s my goal to serve them in capturing these fleeting moments and making sure their most precious memories don’t live on an obsolete hard drive when they day comes that they can no longer carry their babies on their hip.
What’s your favorite aspect of your business?
Seeing my clients holding a beautiful and luxurious album of their memories makes me feel like I’ve preserved their memories in the most beautiful way for them.
What business advice would you give to someone overwhelmed with starting out?
Figure out how you want your clients to FEEL when they are working with you and then outline the things you need to do to make them feel that way.
What’s your Starbucks drink?
Chai tea latte
