Today we’d like to introduce you to Lama Abu-Amara.
Hi Lama, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Lama’s Littles sprang from the joy of welcoming new bundles of cuteness into the family! Fueled by a desire to freeze those precious moments in time, I delved into the world of photography, starting with adorable snaps of my nephew and, later, my own little bundle of joy. Despite not being a pro, my artistic flair and passion for preserving memories pushed me to dive headfirst into this venture.
The spark really ignited when my sister-in-law had her baby, and with a little nudge from my awesome family, Lama’s Littles officially came to life. With lots of excitement and support, I launched the business, putting a big emphasis on creating a comfy and relaxed environment for both the little ones and their parents.
But it wasn’t just about capturing moments; it was about sharing them with the world. I poured my heart into crafting Lama’s Littles’ online presence, from designing a captivating website to optimizing it for search engines (SEO). Leveraging the power of social media, I connected with families far and wide, sharing sneak peeks of adorable sessions and nurturing a vibrant online community. And let’s not forget about the personal touch – each email meticulously crafted to keep in touch with clients, share updates, and spread the love for newborn and toddler photography.
I’m immensely proud to have had the privilege of photographing over 60 babies, with many more heartwarming sessions scheduled for the year ahead. I am deeply grateful to all the parents who have entrusted me with capturing their precious baby’s milestones and creating treasured memories that will last a lifetime.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Today, Lama’s Littles remains steadfast in its mission to capture those heartwarming, adorable, and truly magical moments that define the essence of life! Our journey has been nothing short of exhilarating, filled with laughter, love, and an abundance of adorable babies. However, like any venture, the path to success has had its fair share of obstacles. From moments of self-doubt to navigating through the challenges of imposter syndrome, establishing a business has presented its challenges. Yet, through a commitment to continuous learning, participating in model calls, and seeking guidance from mentors, I’ve not only strengthened my confidence but also propelled Lama’s Littles to unprecedented heights. With an unwavering determination to surmount any obstacles that may arise, I approach each hurdle as an opportunity for growth and learning, armed with an optimistic attitude and a relentless drive to succeed.
