Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

For my work, I travel a lot. With that, I stay in lots of hotel and air bnbs around the world. I always pay attention to the customer service and the "little touches" that a luxury hotel puts in their welcome packages. These places are a huge inspiration to me because the value of what the client is receiving matches the price point. These small details show experience, care, attention, which makes the consumer feel welcome and cared for. So inspiring!

How do you stay motivated?

My biggest motivation is the comfortability of my clients. I aim at creating turn-key experience for them when they come get their photos taken by me. In a way, I want it to feel like a retreat. My empathy, and care for how they feel and what they experience motivates me, more than perfecting the actual craft of photography. People will always remember how you made them feel, and those people are your return clients.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With this $25k, I would invest back in my business. I am a big gift giver and I wouldn't be anywhere without my amazing clients. I would gift them a small gift as a token of my thanks. I would also, upgrade many things in my studio to create an even better and elevated experience for them and donate to a few charity that I love.
