It’s official, Rachel Lucus Photography has become Greenhouse Photo + Co. This blog post will go over why that’s happening!! PLUS read to the end for a chance to win Greenhouse Photo + Co’s giveaway!! We’re GIVING AWAY a $100 amazon gift card & a $50 starbucks gift card. It’s super easy & free to enter so let’s get it poppin’.
Since I’ve announced that I’m changing my business name, a lot of people have asked me, “Why Greenhouse?”
So here’s why……
I’ve been Rachel Lucus Photography for years now & I’m finally at the point where I’m expanding my business. I’m taking on a couple kickass employees (see below!!) & with the addition of new services (like my new photo booth) I didn’t feel like Rachel Lucus Photography was going to let me expand the way I wanted it to.
Another reason for the switch was a massive rebrand. I was planning on hiring Alisabeth Designs to rebrand my business either way (whether I stayed RLP or not). I needed a stronger brand & better website. In the process, I realized that I rather create an amazing brand using Rachel Lucus Photography as a spring board, instead of trying to recreate RLP altogether.
Ok, but like why specifically did I go with Greenhouse?
That was a process that started like 6 months ago. Choosing a business name is freakin hard because if you sit on something long enough it starts to sound cheesy or stupid. EVENTUALLY after thinking of like a million other ideas (including Daisy & Co., Wild Opal Photo, & Black Opal Co….wow so glad I didn’t land on any of those…) I stumbled upon Greenhouse. I liked the idea of it evoking nature & green & just generally outdoor things.
SO I pitched the idea of Greenhouse to my best friend & boyfriend to get feedback. And they both…..hated it. Ok, hate might be strong, but they both were like “meh”. Which is not what I was going for. Ugh. But in the end, I just ignored them because I felt good about it annnnnd so here we are! (Btw, I think they’ve come around on it a little bit…).
One of the reasons for Greenhouse, was the addition of two new faces!! So lemme tell ya about the women joining forces with me!!
So hooray! That’s the team! This is Greenhouse Photo + Co.
So to celebrate the launch of our new brand, we’re doing a GIVEAWAY!!
Here’s how to enter:
