Grow where you are planted
I heard the quote years ago that you grow where you are planted, and lately I’ve really seen that idea come alive in my photography business. I moved into the Baton Rouge market after living in New Orleans for nearly a decade, and when my two boys were born, I wanted a slower, more family-oriented community where they could grow long-term.
I accepted an assignment from Crystal Bonin Realty to photograph a house, expecting a routine job in the Copper Mill development. When I opened the door, I was immediately greeted by my sons’ YMCA basketball coach — someone we had met a couple of years earlier. That small, unexpected connection felt like confirmation of being planted in a welcoming community. I’m deeply grateful for Baton Rouge — over the last decade of living and investing here, I’ve formed so many meaningful relationships that I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
After spending hours with this family on the basketball court and getting to know them, I immediately understood the vibe the owners wanted for their property photos and video. I’m noticing that after year after year of consistently serving this community the best I can, a distinct reputation has begun to form.
If you’ve been in business for any length of time, you’ve developed a reputation too. That steady investment of care into your customers and clients deserves to be showcased for the whole city to see.
That’s exactly why I started my photography business — I’m here to highlight what you’ve already been building all along. Everyone has a story to tell, and I would love to capture yours.
