We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Rachel Middleton. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Rachel below.
Rachel, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I always loved photography and did my own boudoir shoot with a local photographer and I loved how empowering it was. I knew instantly that’s what I wanted to do. I started doing research and building my portfolio, it was in the middle of Covid and I just finished my sample session the day of shut down. It was all very crazy but I haven’t looked back and I’ve made so many friends along the way!
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
I’m a boudoir photographer based out of Columbus, Ohio. And I also rent out my photography studio out to other photographers. Everyone does a boudoir shoot for different reasons. Usually a boost of confidence and to celebrate a milestone like a birthday, getting married, getting divorced, beating cancer, weight loss, pre baby, post baby. You name it. Photography is an art and everyone shoots differently people will pick you for how you treat your clients and how their session goes. I try and go above and beyond for my clients. I’m most proud of the brand I’ve made and the friends I’ve made along the way.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
For me as a photographer but i know it is for many other business owners it’s social media presence, whichever one you put your energy into is what you’ll get the most return with. For me i still use facebook alot but the more funnels you have to your contact page the better. my facebook group is my highest return for clients but alot of people have turned to Tiktok but Instragram is good too for artistic businesses
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Social media, social media, and social media. Even though it can literally be so exhausting to constnatly come up with new content and following trneds but it’s so crucial for businesses with online presence.
