Don't hire a photographer until...

Photographers work in lots of different ways, with different types of clients. I'm a commercial photographer focusing on headshots, event, brand and product photography.

So why shouldn't you hire me? Well, let's consider a few things...

1. You don't have a marketing plan.
   It's totally ok if you don't have a marketing plan put together yet! But I highly recommend doing that so that...
   
2. You don't know exactly what you want.
   Yep, marketing plans actually help you know what your creative needs are (website, social, brochures, ads, etc.) so that you aren't wasting your money on hiring creatives before being able to direct them on exactly what you want.
   
3. You've never seen my work.
   I'm so in love with people who refer me to others - I am so grateful for these folks! But sometimes new clients want to hire me without even seeing the type of work that I do. There are lots of different types of photographers out there - different ones do different types of work. Find one that matches your brand, vision, and needs. (If it's me, then yes, let's work together!)
   
4. You don't have the money.
   This is a very important part. Growing up, we all learned not to spend money on things we couldn't afford. This goes for businesses too. If you can afford creatives (and other vendors) you need in business, hire them! If you don't, find some friends who can help you in the mean time. You'll get there - you'll grow your business and be able to hire those you are excited to work with. We're excited for you too. :)
   

Happy Friday!
