Weddings…in 2020

It all begins with an idea.

I have no issues with this as I want all my family, friends, and clients to be healthy. I am stoked that I have been non stop shooting for the last couple months so as I was able to keep my skills up. And it really gave me the ability to learn my new camera that I got, just before the virus hit. Let’s all finish this year off strong and have a great 2021.

It all begins with an idea.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.

Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
