We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Sarah Adams . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Sarah below.
Sarah , appreciate you joining us today. Are you able to earn a full-time living from your creative work? If so, can you walk us through your journey and how you made it happen?
When I first started over 12 years ago I had just stepped away from my career in health care as a nurse to take care of my newborn. At that time, I was charging barely anything for a shoot and share session, I took the photos and then sent them to my client and that was it… a few year later I realized something needed to change, it was missing… and that was the experience. So I spent nearly a year creating what I wanted my client experience to look like, and working on who my actual target client even was, so that I could create my experience to be something that she was looking for and would benefit her in multiple ways. By doing this, identifying target client, and customizing the experience to fit her, I was able to charge a completely different price as now and entire experience is being given, not just a quick service.
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
As a boutique fine art portraiture photographer I offer a high end portrait experience where my clients have me walk alongside them from initial contact to final product delivery, including planning, wardrobe, and so much more.
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
that we rise by lifting others.
Do not worry about who may be your competition, the sun and the moon both shine equally, keep your competition close, you can learn from them, and they you, and can help each other out as you grow.
We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?
SHOW up be present, people don’t always really care what you are selling, but rather who you are.
