Today we’d like to introduce you to Katelyn Orsi.
Katelyn, please share your story with us. How did you get to where you are today?
For as long as I can remember I loved photography. My Aunt and Uncle owned their own photography business growing up and I was always fascinated by it. About five and a half years ago I decided to go for it, and start my own small photography adventure. You have to really love what you do when you work in a creative field, if you love it, it will show in your work. I love what I do, there is something about capturing a moment, but also in a way helping to create that moment – it’s so much fun!
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Nothing is ever a smooth road, the struggles are what makes a business strong. Even now, things are not always smooth. Building a strong clientele is hard. I rely on word of mouth and referrals for almost all my work. If someone enjoyed working with me enough to refer their friend or family – that is a huge compliment.
Katelyn Orsi Photography – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
As a small business owner I try to give back to my community as often as I can, which is one of the things I am most proud of and I feel sets me apart. I try to offer free sessions seasonally. Last summer I offered free sessions to law enforcement and first responders, which I plan to make an annual event. I am also currently speaking out regarding infertility and offering free sessions around that. I am also a traveling photographer that completes on site sessions, this allows me to be flexible with locations and clients.
What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success is a fluid concept, each person you ask will give you a different answer. I define my success by a happy client. Every client deserves to be happy and in love with their photos. Each client is individual and has their own needs, which means that as a small business owner, I need to be willing to change frequently to meet the needs of my clients. A happy client means that I was able to do that, and I was successful at that moment.
