Something new for FORTY TOES!


Forty Toes Photography

started

out as a fun outlet for this

MOM

of

4!

I never ever would have imagined nearing 7,000 fans on FB

or having had 56,000 plus thousand people view my

BLOG!

In the begining I was so happy that anyone would let me take pictures for them.

Here is one of my first ever pics for


Don't laugh I had no idea what I was doing.

But Dear Lillie was so nice to me and encouraging at a time that all I could do was survive the day with 4

small children all under 5.

So photography became my MOM outlet.


But over the past year I have bought new lenses, invested in actions, photoshop, computer programs,

updated my BLOG etc all to get better at not only taking pictures but with the idea of how can I best help

support ETSY sellers.

A year ago I never imagined any of this but here is the issue I want to keep helping promote ETSY sellers

but I have a hard time justifying charging !

I know Willow if you are reading this you are SCREAMING that I am worth it well............

My husband came up with this idea so what do you think?????

I have added a donation button to my BLOG.

Just like the


Which I LOVE LOVE LOVE by the way.

This way I can still help support, advertize, promote for the mom and pop ETSY store without charging and

for those that like the pictures/advertizing I have done for them they will be able to donate whatever they feel

my service is worth or can afford at the time.

So I will still provide pictures/advertizing in trade no fee unless you feel inclined!

My whole goal in life is to stay at home with my kids and I am hoping that this will turn into a business that

will not just be something I do for fun but something that helps provide for my family!

Thank You all for all your support. It means the world to me!

  8. Jenn - you are more than worth it! And in my opinion you should charge a pretty penny for all that you do! Your work is stunning and I don't think most people realize the endless hours that go into just a single photo shoot.
