Do you want to create a successful business without niching down, but have no idea how to incorporate everything you do under one umbrella? Do you ever wonder if you should have multiple IG accounts for each of the things you do or if just the one for everything will do? And what about brand pictures? How can you use images to tell your story and showcase every facet of you and every service you provide?

When it comes to business and photography, Saskia Albers believes it’s all about being yourself”:

“Allowing that full person that you are to come through and not maybe caring too much about what other people think in that way, because as long as you enjoy it, I’m sure that there will be other people who love what you do.”

Quotes:

“It’s much harder, I think, to get new clients every time than to, you know, have really lovely clients who like all the services you provide.”

“We never realize actually the biggest gifts that our business is giving us is that it’s teaching us to prioritize ourselves. ”

“You’re not a separate person, so. Whatever blocks or things that are in your normal life, they will show up in your business.”

“It’s unnecessary to limit yourself in that way. Yeah. Sometimes, you know, people say it’s good to niche down and things like that, and that can be great. But yeah, if that’s not for you, then, then definitely don’t do it.”
