My new Instagram hashtag: #tarawhitneyphotos

I have started sharing more work on Instagram in the last few months. Previously my feed was almost completely personal, sharing snaps from home, travel, or out and about with the kids. I have been working a lot more this year and thus, spending more time behind a computer. With my kids being older and more independent, I also have less photos of them. Both things a direct hit to the content on my iPhone. And I mean really, there are only so many selfies or photos of succulents in my backyard to share before both I and my audience die of boredom.

I thought about opening a separate account but decided I prefer keeping everything together. So there’s a nice mashup of personal and professional work on my feed now. Which is just like my real life, so it somehow works! (Even though the different orientation of the photos drives me a wee bit insane, I try to let that go for the larger purpose.)

Instagram is such an easy way for me to share an image that I just worked on and am excited about. My clients use the hashtag when they share their images, creating an organic feed of my work. Which is great for my business but also incredibly rewarding and fun for me to see what people choose to share. I also post first to Instagram when announcing travel or other things, so it’s a good place to be if you want to be the first to know.

If you don’t already follow me there, here’s the direct link to my hashtag and my account.
