  • Funding Usage

    I would be tremendously grateful for this assistance. We had to leave California due to the pandemic and start over in Charlotte, North Carolina. I really want to service this community. I know I can contribute to the Charlotte area and do a very good job. I just need some capital to help me in the beginning become established here. Funds will go towards my existing overhead and working on driving traffic to my new business here. I currently am working so hard trying to do this, however financially falling behind. I am only one person, and I cant be out photographing clients and making money while I am trying to sit at my computer and desperately try to figure out SEO for my website (switching everything over to Charlotte), Marketing etc. I work night and day on this however have not made any real money and months. I need to continue paying existing overhead, marketing expenses, have money for film to continue to photograph and purchase those items I am currently out of (my business packaging etc). I am unable to do this as I havent any work here. Funds would be used primarily for Business development so that I can establish myself here quickly and get started contributing to the community.

  • Business Plan

    I hope to establish a studio so that I can have a steady stream of clientle and have a more efficient work schedule, booking more clients. I am also simultaneously working on a comprehensive online Education Program for Photographers. I work tirelessly toward my goals. I never give up. It may take me longer than others at times, but I always get there. I am honest, I am grateful for others and I always work to pay it forward.

  • Self Identified Competition

    My top three competitors serve a similar demographic and are also film photographers. Unlike my competitors, I am a single woman. I do not have a spouse helping to pay my bills. I do this because I truly LOVE this. I feel very grateful to have found something that I am so incredibly passionate about. To be able to work to make people feel good and to provide family heirloom for future generation to enjoy, truly gives me purpose and is extremely fulfilling. My undergraduate degree was in Physiology and I went back to school for Interior Architecture & Design. I started this Photography business as a side business to help pay off school however fell deeply in love with the art of Family Photography. My design background has served me well helping with technical skills and layout/design. I can honestly say that I believe I work extremly hard. I will not stop refining my craft or growing. I really want to make a name for myself and bring this level of business to the Charlotte community.
