I'm A Boudoir Photographer

I’m a Capricorn.

If you subscribe to astrology, you’ve already formed an opinion about that. If you don’t subscribe to it, you probably have an entirely different opinion of that statement. Either way, I’m a stereotypical Capricorn. Work is my middle name. Actually, it’s Marie, but you get the idea.

I always need to have something to do. That something needs to make me money. That’s just who I am as a person. So when I experienced a lull in my boudoir photography business, I needed something to do.

Through my boudoir photography career, I’ve learned to design a thing or two. Plus I’ve always thought I was funny. So I combined those two things and started a shop selling hoodies and shirts with my sweet little designs on them. It did…okay.

The designs were great, the quality of the clothing items was great, people loved them. 5 stars. All of the love people had for my designs didn’t really translate into the sales numbers I wanted to see. It was pretty disheartening to see that disparity between love for my designs and sales. Maybe I just needed to push harder?

But…the more effort I put into that business venture, the less I put into boudoir. And the boudoir photography lull lengthened.

This presented two problems. 1. Boudoir photography is my passion and I missed it. 2. The shop wasn’t doing well enough to fill that void.

As much as I don’t like giving up, I know when something isn’t worth the effort for me. So, unfortunately, the shop has to go.

I don’t want to do something unless I’m giving it my all. I can’t keep splitting my brainpower in that way. No longer am I a boudoir photographer and a funny shirt designer. I am what I was always supposed to be.
