  As someone who loves to help others, you're a natural born nurturer. Your friends (of which you have many!) would describe you as caring, supportive, and unselfish in all aspects of your life. Your true passion in life is tending to the needs of others around you, even strangers. You find true joy in helping your clients brush their hair out of their face, carrying their bags, and over-serving them by getting their photos to them a week earlier than expected. The best way for you to brand yourself is by focusing on your strong suit: service! This means you'll attract those who appreciate someone who is eager to serve. Find out why clients like working with you the best. Think about how you've served people or clients in the past. Then, use that to target those who are also service oriented or who love being nurtured and cared for deeply.

  You're a natural lead and approach life that way! Your friends would describe you as confident, assertive, and decisive. You know what you want and are not afraid to go after it. You feel most comfortable in the drivers seat and taking charge at work and home. And, most importantly, you get things done! This means that you need to show your clients that they can trust you 110% because of how organized and in-control you are of situations. If you aren't already, use a Client Management Software to organize yourself even more (HoneyBook is amazing and here's a 50% off code) and streamline your processes to lead more confidently. You can focus on the advantage you have over others - your ability to plan ahead and schedule all of the details of a photoshoot flawlessly. The clients are never questioning the when, where, or how. They know you'll provide all of the information to them. Another benefit you may consider with your strengths is how successful you are in leading a team. When your business is ready for it, add team members to the mix who balance your strengths and weaknesses. And lead them to success!
