We recently had the chance to connect with Rebecca Vinson Frazier and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Rebecca, thank you for taking the time to reflect back on your journey with us. I think our readers are in for a real treat. There is so much we can all learn from each other and so thank you again for opening up with us. Let’s get into it: What do you think is misunderstood about your business?
A lot of times, introducing myself to someone goes like this:
“Hi, I’m Rebecca, I’m a photographer!”
“Oh, so you take pictures.”
My job is so much more than just taking pictures. Aside from all of the work that goes into what I do (education, editing, posing, lighting, etc.), I also consider it such a bigger deal than just taking photos. When you talk about your loved ones that have passed on, or are explaining to your child what their second birthday party was like, or thinking about your childhood home and how it was decorated, your memory is the only thing you have to describe those things…unless you have photos.
Pictures are the way to make a moment last forever. Even the smallest, most insignificant details are so important when they become the past. And the fact that what I provide can make those details last forever is such a bigger deal than just taking pictures.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Rebecca and I am a full time wedding and family photographer. I am a single mother and my business is what supports both my daughter and I, which is such a blessing!
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child it is easy to look at yourself as weak and incapable. I have quickly figured out through the many obstacles life has thrown at me, that I am neither weak nor incapable of anything.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
You are stronger than you could ever realize.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
In the world of photography, so many businesses see each other as competition. I truly believe that collaboration is at the top of all success, and competition is at the bottom.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What is the story you hope people tell about you when you’re gone?
How much my love for my daughter showed in everything I did.
