I’m excited for another year as a small business owner!! During 2024 my business will be turning 5! Studies show more than half of all small businesses fail by year 5 and I’m officially over here beating the odds!!
When I first decided to start a business my main goal was not to quit, no matter what, until my business turned 5. I told myself after that anniversary I would take a step back if needed and make decisions but that I would give it 100% until then even if I never booked a session.
I’m happy to report you all have been amazing with the support and the bookings so I won’t be considering closing down and giving up, I’m here for it for many more year!
Today I’m sharing some of the things I have planned for 2024. Like everything in life, I’m sure there will be some shifts and changes but as I plan my goals for the year I’m really looking forward to 2024 and everything I have planned!
JGP Equine
Not only am I entering my 5th year with success for Jaden Giorgianni Photography at the forefront I’m also adding a second brand to my business! JGP Equine is officially opening in 2024! I’ve been working on some of the backend things over the last few months and I’m excited to open up and officially be official!
In college I wanted to end up working with horses but the dream didn’t really pan out – now though I’m taking my two passions (photography and horses) and bringing them together. If you are interested in learning more about JGP Equine check out my site at www.jgpequine.com
A New Gallery Platform
If you’re a repeat client don’t freak out!! All of your sessions, past and present will still be available in one gallery but that gallery will be moving at some point during 2024 to a new platform.
As my business grows I’m outgrowing my current platform and after tons of free trials and pro/con spreadsheets I’ve decided to use the gallery platform my booking software offers. This will actually make the experience of working with me even easier on the customer side because everything from booking to ordering will be in ONE place!
I don’t have an ETA on when this will roll out officially – it’s a bit of a process but expect to see changes this year!
Senior Spokesmodel Team
The class of 2025 will be my 4th Senior Spokesmodel Team and I’m excited for the things I have planned for the year! A senior team is a great way for me to keep working on my portrait posing, test locations, and provide a select number of senior students the opportunity to have senior photos taken year round in different places in a fun group environment.
In March I’ll be launching the applications for The Senior Experience Team and I cannot wait to meet new faces in the class of 2025!!
If you think The Senior Experience Team is something you would like to know more about or you know someone who is graduation in 2025, check out the link below for more information and to get on the waitlist to receive an application before they go out to the public!
Savannah Senior Sessions
2023 was a great year for senior sessions! I doubled the number of single bookings and met so many great seniors along the way! Not much is changing in 2024 as far as the senior side of my business goes. I’ve made some adjustments to what’s offered in my 3 Savannah Senior session packages and I know they are even better than before.
If you are graduating in 2024, spring dates with all of Savannah’s floral beauty are open for booking and if you are graduating in 2025 spring and summer dates are also open! It’s never too early to book your senior session – we can book it today and schedule it for spring or summer! Check out everything seniors with the link below!
Savannah Georgia Spring Mini Sessions – Washington Square
For spring 2024 I’m heading to Washington Square!! I have a few favorite spots downtown for sessions and Washington Square tops that list year after year!! Spring Mini Sessions are being held on March 23rd this year (just in time to show off your Easter finest).
If a spring mini is on your radar for 2024 you can get on the early access waitlist with the link below! Those on the waitlist receive dates and booking information before the public (and before my general email list) – it’s a great place to be!
2024 Spring Mini Session VIP List
Savannah Holiday 2024 | Milk & Cookie Minis
For the fall/holidays I have a few things in mind, both old and new! The Mini Experience for fall will be coming back for sure, date and location TBD but typically the first or second weekend in November is my go-to weekend for The Mini Experience. Forsyth Park is very popular each year but I am considering making a change for 2024 since I have families who like fall minis each year and may prefer a change of scenery.
You can get on the VIP list for Fall 2024 mini session information with the link below. Info and booking links go out to VIP list before the public.
2024 Fall Mini Session VIP List
Milk & Cookie Minis will be back again for 2024 with a small change – the sessions will be 5-7 minute spots shot in 10 minute windows. This means a few things – first there will be a few more openings (YAY!!!) and second it will be a get in get out experience so if you are the type of person who runs late or your littles need some extra time to warm up to someone this might not be for you right now.
If you are interested in a milk & cookie mini session you NEED to be on the VIP list!! These sessions haven’t opened to the public in 3 years and even with a few more openings I don’t expect them to open publicly this year either! Get on that list with the link below.
Tybee Christmas Minis
I’ve tested and teased this idea for a few years now but there have always been some hesitations (mostly the 40 degree wind chill) so it’s never happened BUT for 2024 I’m really really excited to announce TYBEE CHRISTMAS MINIS ARE COMING!!
That’s right – I’ve worked the biggest kink out and found a way to get a Christmas tree in October so no 40 degree wind chill miserable beach experience! LOL. I love these photos and I’m excited to be opening them up for booking (finally) in 2024.
The number of openings will be extremely limited – I can fix the wind chill issue by hosting earlier in the year but the best light still only happens for a small window during sunset. If you want the details emailed to you before they go out to the public get on the VIP list with the link below.
Stay Tuned for More!
I love what I am able to do by working for myself and I’m happy to be lucky enough to continue doing this in 2024. If you want more information from me about anything seniors, families, and now equine feel free to reach out anytime!
