I am [first name], a photographer in [your town]. I mostly work on weddings, family and newborn sessions and headshots and personal branding.

I am fully insured. If you want to talk something through before committing to anything, I show you a whole gallery start to finish rather than ten highlights, before you book anything.

I am a photographer who does one thing properly: weddings. I could do everything on the list, and for years I did. Now I do this, and I do it better than I did when I was doing all of it. I am fully insured. If that is what you need, we should talk. If it is not, I will point you at someone good.

[Business name] — photographer in [your area], fully insured. Weddings, family and newborn sessions and headshots and personal branding. I show you whole galleries, not ten highlights. Appointments available. Check your date.

Use this where the format is rigid and you have maybe forty words.

[Full name] founded [business name] in [year] after [number] years working for [someone else].
