::Free to be Me:: Eugene Photographer

  I have been inspired recently to raise the bar.  Over the past year I have strived to brand my business, to nourish it and embrace it and make it something that is my very own.  While I have always been someone who can find inspiration in almost anything and anyone, when creating my brand I stripped it down to nothing so I could build it back up into something that is honest and real.  Something I believe in. 

  I believe in my brand.  I stand by my brand.  My brand is not a gimmick- it’s me.

  I have the neccessary tools that it takes to ensure that I deliver my business to my clients in a way that fits my brand.  Am I doing that right?  Well, I think I am, but I know I could do better- by raising the bar.  I was one of the very first in my area to get a Showit Site- and I am so proud of that!  When I released my first site, I was giddy because I knew that my site was original- it wasn’t a template.  I knew (at that time) that I was the only person with that site and I loved that.

  Now that Showit has become so successful (yay!!!), I have found that my site isn’t so original anymore.  It’s quite basic and simple, which isn’t a bad thing, but it also isn’t standing out.  Several people in my area have started using Showit- which is awesome- but how can I be different now?

  By raising the bar. 

  I have the freedom to be me.  I have the tools to stand out.  I have the brand to back me up.  And above all else, I am determined to make it happen. 

  I challenge anyone who reads this to do the same- in a world of monotony- stand out.  Be You.

  Here is a look at the new slideshows that will be showcased on the site- which will be launched in the near future!  Be on the look-out, I am so stoked about it!  :)  Enjoy!!

Karen Stott - Holli you are so amazing! And SO unique! I am pumped that you are raising the bar in the industry and I am so excited to press the envelope in my own business as well. I hope other photogs will learn from your leadership and not be ok with just doing what everyone else is doing and be themselves as well. Way to go girly!
