Here we go!

I finally did it! Here’s my website AND a blog post! I officially started Katie Tlougan Photography in 2022 but have simply used Facebook and Instagram as a way to put my work out there for others to see. But I knew I needed an official website eventually. It’s a daunting task to create one, especially since I’ve never created anything before. But, my husband has been working on creating his for a non-profit we started in 2023 and it felt like we could help eachother if we were both working on one. Plus, a dear friend had just built her first one and was willing to sit with me as I got started.

So here we are! I am excited to have a place for my information to be easily accessible to current and potential clients. A place where I control the content and cannot be locked out by mistake, which has happened to other small business owners on social media. But I think I’m most excited to use this blogging feature. I have the hardest time limiting how many photos I share from a session. I love to write so I’m hoping that being able to share blog posts from my sessions will be a fun way to keep friends and clients in the loop on work that I do!

As much as I like sharing, though, I am a bit nervous to put myself out here. Out of fear of being an over-sharer, I often pull back and withhold my thoughts. As a sensitive super-feeler, I am so often hyper-aware of other’s feelings or anticipate reactions (sometimes well and sometimes more from a place of anxious worry), which means I’m scared to just be me. So, this will be a test and challenge for me to be vulnerable and OK with not being perfect.
