Who grew this business?
When you first decide to start a business it’s usually not really a decision. At least in my case it wasn’t. I had purchased my first DSLR shortly after college and started snapping pictures around the yard and of my nieces and nephews. After sharing them online (thank you free social media platforms), friends and family would ask – ‘can you take our picture?’ Of course I would say yes, an extra $35 in my pocket for a short afternoon’s worth of work… no complaining here!
Then things get out of hand and you just keep going and quit your full time job to start a part time gig to ‘be sure’ your bills are paid and things keep growing with that business you started 4 years prior so you quit the part time job because FULL TIME PHOTOGRAPHER sounds pretty dang great… *takes a big breath!* You know where this came from right? My friends and family grew it for me!
It’s true. Had they not asked for those early years, I wouldn’t be here. And the best part, they keep asking! I’m honestly blown away when friends, family and acquaintances keep asking for sessions. The support and loyalty to Caitlin Claire Studio is very humbling.
Roth Family, Maternity Photography
Bob and Daali are just those people in my life. Friends (who feel like family) for a few years now, I was thrilled to hear of their new babe on the way and just as excited to see their inquiry roll into my inbox. I know Caitlin Claire Studio has come a very long way since those $35 session days (growth yo!), so families who continue to support this business and my family are never taken for granted. And I’ve said this before – it is such a compliment when someone I know, outside of photography, reaches out for my services. That trust is something I hope to always hold tight to.

Tis the season for babies! Maternity sessions are winning the race here at Caitlin Claire Studio (I’m really not counting though) and I couldn’t be happier! This sweet family already welcomed their newest addition but I’m not letting that stop me from sharing this session at all!
We met in early March and I’ve never been more excited to have a studio to work in for photos. Being able to photograph families in a comfortable setting all year long is priceless to me. A big goal of mine during each session is to make everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and that usually starts with our location. Now I can curate the perfect space for my clients! Although, I’m currently touching up a few corners of storage space so boxes and equipment that would normally be put away are out for the world to see. So don’t look quite yet – HA!
In all seriousness, I chatted quite a bit about this space since moving in, and how blessed I am to call it mine. It changes the nature of my business and the quality of experience I can offer my client which I am thankful for every day. And I’m sure families with warm noses in March are also thankful!

Winter Maternity Session
The Utke Family
Oh, hello winter maternity session. Thought I’d squeeze you in since snow is in the forecast here in Wisconsin! Also since you’re a few months old and baby Eloise has arrived I feel comfortable sharing these images publicly.
Mom & Dad didn’t make it ‘social media official’ that baby number two was on the way until she had already arrived. I appreciate and respect family wishes about their images, even if that means I need to keep images on the down low. It’s not my right as a photographer to make your announcements for you, it’s my joy to celebrate them with you! So if families ask me to hold off on posting, I’m happy to do so.
Client priorities over social media sharing. Always.
