Business : Personal

I have a confession to make

First of all it's F R I D A Y and the weekend is just a few hours away! Lately there has been a lot of changes happening at PGP which is awesome so I just want to let you guys know where I'm at. As a Charlotte Family photographer & Charlotte Wedding photographer gearing up for a new stage in Priscilla Green Photography looking forward to year 2017 ( I know thats a couple of months left to go.)  I have to admit for the last 3 years I haven't given it my 110% to my business success and personal success goals. I have done a great job as a photographer but I have not been a great business owner; much more like a satisfactory one just enough to run a photography business. Although I have given all I can to my clients with my time, creativity and photography skills. I have been scared to take big risks with my business goals; the business side of things (in other words excuses) although some fair ones... I have been dreaming too small, taking tiny baby steps,  just too busy trying to be a mom, or my husband first needs to finish his Phd in Physics like I said excuses (for me.) And even though my dream is much alive and business is definitely growing I have let fear of "not knowing" or "uncertainty" slow down my dream. So what do I to change that... Priscilla Green Photography got a "facelift" invested in a new branding look, website that i'm in love with because let's face it I'm a creative and love PRETTY things! I am also trying out 17 hats a business software that will hopefully make business management much more productive. And of course throw myself and business out there (Network & Advertise!) other improvements include a much better blogging workflow and Album design software where my clients can comment on the changes they want made and approve online! One of my greatest fears is rejection and I'm proud to say not everyone is my client. I think many of us can admit to that but as a photographer our work is very personal and it hurts when someone does not value your work or like it very much. Thankfully I have found who are my clients and they are detail oriented, love to laugh, have fun, very stylish, LOVE and VALUE my photography but most of all their in love with their family or special someone :) And lastly one of my greatest business goals is to offer amazing customer service because thats really what its about for me creating a amazing experience from beginning to end with PGP. For my portrait clients from the first phone call, to the styling consultation where we choose a location perfect for my client, makeup artist, to what to wear, what props to bring, to the reveal of the images and final professional products. My ultimate goal is to create a personal experience different from the last for my client that is unique to them. And for my Wedding clients as well. It's all about the connections. And if you have any ideas that would be great to add to my client experience please feel free to send me a message. 

I know it seems like I was just throwing ideas here and there but I just felt like I needed to say this more for me than anything. And to say I am committed to the success of this photography business. Cannot wait to see what's in store for this small business of mine and the great people I will photograph. Until then have a great weekend! Stay safe.

SNOW!!! {Personal}

It was a hard one! To get out of my comfy warm house to go play outside and get a snow picture. It's become a tradition, it snows at least once a year in Charlotte, NC. We didn't get pictures in 2015 but here's 2014 pictures. Hope you had a safe snowy day!

Stay off the roads if you can :)

MY FAMILY

GOOD BYE 2015

A note from Priscilla,

As I review the year of 2015 for Priscilla Green Photography I am very thankful for all of my wonderful clients that I had the privilege to meet and returning clients I got to photograph this year.  This year concludes PGP's  3rd year providing custom photography for families, maternity, newborns and weddings and it has been a wonderful year of growth and a few bumps along the way but without challenges one cannot grow. Anything you love takes time, patience and lots of love for it to grow. And business is no different.

As a photographer I am always growing in my technical skills for taking pictures and communication skills with my clients to capture wonderful moments of them while creating artistic photographs. And this year I have really honed my craft... I really love the direction my photography has taken. Light filled artistic photography.  As a business owner I am learning how to better serve my clients needs and understand their wants by listening to what they are saying and trying to keep an open mind to provide the best customer service and final photo product that my clients will love. This business is very personal to me and it is my greatest desire to have happy clients that love their personal photography; whether it be a family portrait, Maternity, Newborn or wedding photography. Growing a business is not easy work but I am so thankful for my clients and friends that have allowed me and used me to document their special moments without them Priscilla Green Photography would not be where it is today.

You can never fail if you don't quit! I cannot wait to see what 2016 brings for PGP and the new families and little ones I will get to photograph! Thank you to everyone who makes my dreams into a reality. Hope this new year brings peace, joy, love and many blessings to you and your family and stay safe as we celebrate all that 2015 was and all the new beginnings and opportunities 2016 brings!

Cheers to the New year 2016! 

Charlotte NC Family Photographer :: Personal :: Urban Portrait :: My Little Daniel turns #3 years old

Wow. This is my little son Daniel he just turned #3 three days ago and he is fascinated with trains. Time flies, yet it feels like time passes by so slow on long days when were tired. Because let's face it being a parent is hard. But this kid here, he brings so much joy to my life and I wouldn't have it any other way, because he is a blessing and he is mine! Look out for a full blog post. Tips when photographing your child especially when young dress them in clothes that are comfortable to them, be patient, have fun and make it quick after 10 minutes they will get tired and will not act their best. 

Charlotte NC Family Photographer :: Vacation :: California :: MIA... photographer blogger! you didn't hear, I was on a road trip all last week :)

   I know it's been a while since I last wrote or shared a blog post. I have a ton of new stuff I want to share. It's been a little busy around here. For 8 Weeks I will be living in Dayton, Ohio while my husband is doing a fellowship for his PHd program. I will be back in Charlotte, NC after July 13th, so if you live in Dayton, Ohio or nearby I would love to photograph you and for the people back home my schedule will be open for photo sessions after July 13th. Last week my family and I had the most amazing opportunity to fly to the west coast and spend a week in Sunny California, although it was mostly cold and even though they had a drought going on it rained a couple of times while we were there. But I will share more about our adventures in another post after I edit all the pictures from the trip. So that's it, just wanted to update you guys on what's going on and I can't wait to post some of the beautiful weddings I have photographed this spring and family sessions I had the opportunity to capture and be a part of this early/late spring.

Till the next post :)
