I have been thinking a lot about the direction I want to take Julia's Focus Photography (JFP).
This may sound a bit silly and a waste of space on the World Wide Web, but, hey, it's my blog, right? *wink*
I have felt an urgent need to do all of those business savvy things like make business cards (my business cards are fabulous! made by my friend Sarah), build a website, promote myself shamelessly... all of which are fine things, but they're not me. I have somehow neglected to remember that God has always taken care of me, and that being faithful and serving Him in all that I do guarantees my success*.
* Let me further explain my view of success so I don't end up sounding like Joel Olstein here: Success is totally a relative term. And when I say that being faithful to God (and to who God made me to be) in my business venture guarantees success, I just mean that I will be accomplishing my ultimate goal, pleasing my Creator and Savior. And as disappointing as failing at my photography business would be, it's short term.
All this to say that I've been struggling with the website part of my business. I enjoy blogging so much, and would much rather blog about things that I feel God puts on my heart and mind... about my adventures in motherhood, friendship, whatever... than to spend hours of my time making/ updating a website to promote my business. And the truth is, JFP surprises me every day! Word of mouth (and Facebook!) seems to be the best promotion anyways.
These are all 'first draft' thoughts, and I would LOVE your feedback!
Thanks for listening.
*And because everyone likes a picture with a post, here's a shot I took of Adam last night.
I'm utterly in love with this man... he makes everything in my life better.
