This week started out with one amazing LOVEe Consult with Rachel of De La Vue! Many of you might know her by her old name, Nadeau Photography. She has recently re-branded her company to De La Vue and I am so excited for the direction that she is taking things and Minnesota better get ready for this girl!
There were two great conversations we had during our day together.
The first is to think about the BIG picture. Like super long term - Why are we artists? How big can this dream go and where will it take us? And what is our definition of 'big'? One of the things that I respect most about Rachel is that she decided to re-brand herself to fit that big picture! This girl has dreams and goal far beyond her own name, and her decision to re-name her company is a ballsy move, but also one that was necessary for her growth! The fact that she even realized that just the name of her company was holding her back from those ambitions is amazing! It's a hard thing to change things up with your company, once you get things going. I mean, people expect things out of you, once you are established and to just switch it up on everyone - I mean, that's insane, right? WRONG! When you see the big picture, when you know your dreams are feasible and attainable, you need to do whatever it takes to get there. That might mean taking a big risk and making some big changes. That might mean starting over with a new facebook page and - gasp! Re-forming a new group of friends, blog readers and clients! However, it is totally and completely worth it once you are on your way to your dream!
Which brings us to the second fabulous topic of conversation, Freedom. As business owners and artists, we really, have all the freedom in the world! Yes, we all work crazy hard and insane hours, because we believe in what we are doing. Yes, there are always stresses that we can count on both hands of how hard running our businesses are. However, Rachel and I discoverd that we would clearly take all of those stresses and make some magic, for the simple freedom of doing what we do. Photographers - we are the luckiest people in the WORLD to be able to do what we do! We are sooooo freaking lucky to be able to create and INSPIRE people every single day we clock in.
How cool is that?
Congratulations to Rachel on all of the super fun, exciting things to come! You are an amazing woman and photographer, whom I greatly respect!

E,
I just wanted to reach out and express my gratitude for the LOVEe Consult. this was such a refreshing and inspiring experience, that I wish I could do it over and over again!
Your constructive criticism was exactly what I needed to hear. I am so excited to get going on some of the changes we talked about and really bring De La Vue to the next level!!!
The time management tricks and resources you gave me is invaluable! Moving forward my business will be much smoother, efficient and give my clients a better experience! Not to mention I will have time for some much needed personal and family time, without sacrificing quantity or quality!
Being in business for myself is a fun, but scary venture...and switching everything up I was pretty much throwing it all up to chance that its going to work! The confidence I gained from your consult for not only where I am at, but where I am going is just the fuel I needed to keep the fire burning! Its going to be a bumpy road...but my helmet is on and I am ready for the RIDE OF MY LIFE!
Thank you, thank you! I would (and already have!) recommend LOVEe Consults to any business, whether starting out, or in their 10th year!
Rachel Nadeau
