Level Up
For 2023, we have so many goals for our small business which include establishing more consistent online presence and relying more on our business and sales insights to help us target and potentially expand our offerings and growth. To help support achieving this, we want and actually need your honest feedback in many areas, but specifically via Google currently as we are newly verified. If you can and are willing to spare time to share here: https://g.page/r/CfdUro5FMrxjE...
Since we’re already approaching end of March, it is nearing our more hectic season (Spring through holidays) and we are working diligently to create more seamless and user-friendly client experiences, incorporate new offerings and rewards, and continue educating our team to be able to offer quality professional services.

As we are ever evolving our business, changes are inevitable, some invited and others more difficult. We are potentially changing our website/gallery platform and adding new payment processing through Stripe in addition to Square. Both of these as well as PayPal will interface with out new system. Square recently added Apple Pay as an option in addition to most major credit cards and Afterpay for invoices. We have accepted a mentee as an assistant and second/third-shooter, so we’ll have more hands and eyes on site for sessions and more brain power behind our brand - keep a watchful eye for her intro in the coming months! We intend to limit Seniors, Events, Branding primarily to referral into the future so we may direct our focus on branding, maximizing growth of our favorite niches: Individuals (including Pets/Animals and Boudoir), Couples, and Families. We’ll definitely be adding a Brand Ambassador/Rep discount program beyond our current loyalty and rewards and will open applications later this year - please connect with us if this interests you! We aren’t planning any major price restructuring for 2024 as there was with 2023, but there will likely be minor cost of doing business increases and you’ll have plenty of notice to lock in current pricing well into next year. There will be a year-end investment opportunity that is a one-time fee, covers sessions for the entire following calendar year - can be gifted!
We look forward to adding traceable loyalty and roll out text-message marketing, client closet for maternity, newborn, and sitters accessible with your session, and contracting with both makeup and hair professionals during 2024! We will also be adding our own studio space that will potentially be rentable for other creatives and DIYers! Also in our 3-year-plan will be a subscription program for sessions, a complete digital content catalog including logo design templates, social platform templates, designs for apparel, photography and creator specific branding, etc plus photography prop rental/purchase. We’d love to spotlight local (Central Ohio and surrounding) businesses and collaborate more frequently to help boost other small businesses!
We do have openings for select few Elopements/Weddings for 2023 and now reserving into 2024. We accept these on a case-by-case basis after meeting with the potential couple to ensure it’s a mutually fitting opportunity. We primarily accept word-of-mouth referrals, so we encourage you to refer anyone you feel might be a good candidate for our services our way! Our Elopement/Wedding offerings are inclusive from pre-event through anniversary and fit budgets from $200. We, too, will gladly tailor a custom package to suit your day!
We have added our own Client Guide with all the pertinent details for services and offerings. With every like, share, follow, purchase, referral, review, testimony, you’re investing in our story and helping us actualize our dreams. We extend our sincerest gratitude.
Best,
Brittany
