You wish your (gorgeous!) images could communicate the value of your photography services, but you don't have the time or the know-how to trade generic website copy for words that actually sound like you.
After teaching writing for nearly a decade, I left the classroom to help creative business owners like you show up authentically online by crafting words that share --- and sell --- the experience of working with you.
While I utilize website copywriting frameworks that I've developed and strategically honed over more than four years in business, I leave room in my creative process to customize every detail of your photography website to reflect your services, voice, and personality.
I work side-by-side with photographers like you to infuse storytelling and heart into your website, blog, and email list. My photography clients want conversational, personality-packed, and SEO-friendly copy, and I strive to write words that sound like you on your best day.
Let's put words to your magic and attract the
dream clients that your images deserve.
You love the work you create as a photographer, but when it comes time to market your services on your website, your words just don't capture the passion you have to create art that your clients can feel for years to come.
Let me show you how infusing your photography business with your stories and the heart behind your work will increase your profit margins, help you stand out in a saturated market, and boost your confidence.
I own two businesses I love that are scaling and that make it possible for me to be present and support my family.
I left the classroom behind - for good - and committed to What Sara Said full-time.
One pandemic-related job layoff later, I launched What Sara Said and built my business while teaching middle school gifted education.
After battling burnout and overwhelm, I left the classroom for a non-profit job in educational advocacy.
I graduated with my M.A. and accepted my first big-girl teaching job at a local technical college.
I enrolled in graduate school to study contemporary literature, and my teaching career began.
