Writing "About Me" sections are the WORST.

e.rose · Jan 24, 2015

I want to re-do the "about me" section of my website, but I'm sitting here staring at a blank page, because I don't know where to begin.

My last one was way to long-winded and stupid and I'm over it.

I can't find a happy medium between just listing my name, number and email, and actually being slightly personable.

Pfffffffft.

I have *always* been terrible about writing bios. It's literally the WORST.

Two ways of doing this. You can keep it strictly professional or more personal and relatable. Oh, a little bit of humble brag is okay.

Okay may be 3 ways to do it...

That's the line I'm having a hard time towing, haha.

My last "about me" page was a little too much... cheese, I think.

The one I'm writing now feels a little *too*... profesh?

I'm having a hard time writing one that sounds mostly professional, but with a little bit of pep.

Also, there really isn't anything for me to "humble brag" about. LOL

IMHO, it depends on the clients that you want to attract and and maybe just be yourself. In my personal experience, people want to know about the artist behind the camera as much as the quality result. Photography style can be similar but the photographer is always different. You are unique and people want to hire a unique artist.

Anyone wanna proof-read this for me?

I'm sure I have 50 billion grammatical errors in this... And I'd like to have at least 45 billion less by the time I hit "publish". :lol:

My husband spells "kidding", "cidding" by accident on occasion and thinks, "It ain't" is an acceptable part of a phrase.

The hell I'm having him proof-read anything. :biglaugh:

Well, it's time to turn on spell check in Microsoft Word.

e.rose · Jan 24, 2015

1. I use PAGES. I'm a Mac. Screw that Microsoft Word bidnezz... :lol:

2. It's not the SPELLING I'm worried about. I have a spell-checker. It's the run-on sentences and over-abundance of comma's that I'm known for that I need checked. Hahaha.
