Trying to establish a new business when you’ve moved to an area is no easy task.\u00a0 It takes soooo much work and really, I am surprised sometimes that I am where I am today — not saying that I have “arrived” yet, but I am working on it.\u00a0 I underestimated how involved having a photography business is.\u00a0 First off, you have to find the clients, then you have to arrange the shoot, process the images and deliver them, then there is all the business stuff like taxes, receipts, equipment purchases etc.\u00a0 Really it’s ridiculous the amount of work that goes into what may appear to be a pretty easy job.\u00a0 When I first got started, I had no idea that being a photographer was so much more involved than just meeting a nice family, snapping some pics, and you’re done!\u00a0 Boy was I so wrong.\u00a0 Gratefully, I love photography so much that I can see past the things I don’t like and enjoy doing my passion for my job.\u00a0 Why am I telling you this??\u00a0 I suppose it’s been on my mind a lot lately \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

When Maryland photographer, Daniel Merino, contacted me back in June about photographing his January wedding, I was so flattered and appreciative because as a fellow photographer, he knows what goes into this business.\u00a0 Daniel also shoots weddings and corporate events, but obviously he couldn’t shoot his own wedding.\u00a0 He found me online and I am so glad he did because Daniel and Jeni are just as sweet as they come.\u00a0\u00a0 Here is the note I got from Jeni in my inbox after the shoot that made my week:<\/p>\n

“Hi Shauna,<\/div>\n
I just want to say thank you for excellent customer service. To begin with, it was very pleasant to get a glimpse of the photo shoot outcome the same day of the appointment. Daniel and I really love the shots, and we can’t wait to see more!<\/div>\n
Also, we really appreciated that you took time off on a holiday to take our photos (it shows how committed you are). We loved everything, even your personality! You’re so fun, and that made the mood much more comfortable for the shots (also you’re BEAUTIFUL). Thank you again for exceptional customer service!<\/div>\n

Your extremely happy customer,<\/p>\n

\u00a0Jeni H.”<\/div>\n
And here they are…<\/div>\n
\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/div>\n
Um Jeni,\u00a0 you’re gorgeous.<\/div>\n
