Funding Usage
These funds would cover the cost of leasing a retail studio space for a year while I grow my client base. Although Kat's Eye Photography LLC offers portrait sessions on location, a retail studio space would allow for more opportunities to expand the client base to those requiring an indoor location, and offer a guaranteed option for a session location, particularly during winter months when outdoor sessions are more difficult to accommodate.

Business Plan
Photography businesses tend to grow their client base mostly by word of mouth and social media. Since one of my specialties is pet portraits, I have begun discussions with businesses who also cater to pets and their owners. Additionally, focusing on family portraits allows me to maintain a continued relationship with clients as the families continue to grow for years to come. I've been a professional portrait photographer for more than 10 years, both as a retail studio employee and private freelance photographer. I lived in Florida during this time, so when my family moved to Wisconsin, I lost all of my clients. In the few months since restarting my business, I have made connections with a handful of families, as well as businesses that specialize in pet products. Although I offer sessions at locations or client's homes, many people I've spoken to prefer studio portraits, which I am unable to offer at this time. I have the knowledge and equipment to run a professional studio, but until my client base grows, I cannot afford the added expense of a commercial lease.

Self Identified Competition
Many people might think every other private photographer would be a competitor. However, due to the artistic nature of photography, every photographer has their own style, from shooting to editing, that makes them completely unique. Having worked in retail studios as well as freelance, I've learned how to handle the demands of a high traffic business while maintaining the personal touch of a private photographer.
