We were lucky to catch up with Lisbeth Taylor recently and have shared our conversation below.
Lisbeth, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?
I’m a motherhood & lifestyle digital creator. I’m a wife, mother of 1 and dog mom of 3. I create content that shares my love of women and children’s fashion, homeschooling and my motherhood journey while adding a creative flair.
My mission is to encourage mothers to not be afraid of being creative. I truly believe that it’s important to appreciate the little things and let the daily joys of life spark that creativity that everyone has within. My inspiration comes from nature, love of color and retro aesthetics. I think it’s important as a mother not to lose yourself in the process and I truly hope that my photography represents that.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I’m originally from Miami Florida, I moved to Atlanta in 2001. Living in many parts of the Atlanta area throughout the years has been a truly inspiring experience. I have a degree in Fashion Design and am a Certified Make Up Artist, but it wasn’t till later that I found my love for photography. My professional experience comes from working in different aspects of the fashion industry from designing, retail management, styling, working behind the scenes at fashion shows and being a small business owner. After my daughter was born, my hobby of photography slowly turned into a business. As a family photographer I started sharing my pictures on Instagram which led me to where I am today. I have truly enjoyed the journey where my career has led me. As a Content Creator I’m able to apply my experience in the Fashion industry while being able to stay home with my daughter. Working with my favorites brands has taught me a different side of the business and given me the confidence to follow my dreams and become an entrepreneur. My brand represents a colorful way of life, finding the beauty in the everyday through the lens of my camera.
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
The whole process has its rewards. I love everything from thinking of the concept, to finding the location, wardrobe styling and my vision coming to life. It’s all such a fun and challenging process. But I will say that editing my photos is where I find the most satisfaction, it allows me to truly express the emotion behind the photograph.
How did you build your audience on social media?
When I was just starting out, I wasn’t thinking about building an audience. I was just sharing what I loved. I had such a passion for capturing our daily lives in a beautiful way. I started to grow quickly soon after I found a community of photographers and like-minded mothers. We have supported each other over the years, and it’s been the most loving community to share life with. If you are just starting to build your presence on social media know that you are unique and it’s important to just be you when building your community. Having a niche isn’t as important as knowing what message you are wanting to send. Don’t forget to have fun. Working with brands can be such an exciting job but it’s definitely easy to lose the joy if you forget your why. I also think that investing in a mentor/coach will be very beneficial to your business. I learned such value through the experiences, knowledge and help from my mentor. It grew the success of my business tremendously.
