DREAM CLIENT  Gillian B.  /  CEO  COMPANY

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER

I started my studio in New Orleans, Sink or Swim...

It was something I had to do.  I renovated my building and dove right in. We were shooting film and with 4x5 view cameras for advertising and Aerial assignments up and down the Mississippi River and the Gulf!

I won $5000. of Digital software and didn't have a Digital Camera

Life changing winning software, I did get a camera... and went pure digital. Mardi Gras lined up in front of my studio. I shot 30,000 pictures a year of Mardi Gras... and was the first in NOLA to post and sell photos on-line. We had over 12 photographers...

I went to school for life coaching and started teaching photography combined w/life coaching

I was running my studio and teaching people - photography.  I was teaching Workshops throughout New Orleans, the French Quarter and in the Swamps.  Photography Boot Camp became popular for many.

I worked teaching and shooting whilst taking care of my mom

It was hard and it was rewarding. I was with my mom in her time of need. I worked as well to keep my business going. I went back and forth from NOLA to Mississippi. It was presented a good change for my life. 

I started another studio on the Mississippi Gulf Coast

and now I live here full time and gave up the studio in New Orleans. I love the Mississippi Gulf Coast. My studio here is doing great and I am teaching all the time and get to shoot stuff for myself.

JANUARY 2024

I renovated so I could have more room to work

Renovating is never fun, but it's good when you can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I am so glad I made space and now I have great space to work in. 

Updated all my processes, including computers and workflow

I have reworked how, what and where I coach and it's been very beneficial for all and has made a better impact on those I work with and everyone is loving it. 

I am kind of happy with my life and doing exactly what I want to do. 

Last year was good and I am excited about what's to come next. I love working with people and helping their creative selves grow! Teachers are always  learning and I am always learning from  those I teach. 

It didn't happen overnight, it was a lot of work.
