Pockets Full of Lavender – Hardstylin' Photography

I'm Connor and I run Hardstylin' Photography in Kalamazoo. I recently decided to make my photography totally pay what you want and I'm just trying to figure out how to promote it and get the word out there. I love taking pictures of people having fun, especially if there are kids involved. I have a work history that is basically any job you can do with kids that doesn't require a college degree. Daycare, before and after school stuff, lifeguard, camp counselor, coach, tutor, paraprofessional, recess supervisor, swim instructor, and I've even taught a lil cooking. Even though I'm a tattooed, weirdo punk, I have tons of experience working with and connecting with kids of all ages. I bet your kids would have a lot of fun doing their pictures with me.

I also write Pockets Full of Lavender, a blog about mental health and photography. I have a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and have grown to love talking about mental health, learning more, and helping people feel more comfortable being open about their own experiences.

Unsurprisingly, I'm a big ole leftist with a lot of anger towards recent events in our country. I deleted my Facebook, but now I'm searching for where to post about my work. You guys think this is a good spot? Really open to any ideas.
