I want to make baby clothes for my little girl and I love your colors. I’m a photographer and I want soft colors with natural light outside. This is exactly how I feel sometimes.

Hi! Great video. I have a small business at home that is slow getting started. How do I promote on social media that doesn’t sound like I’m bragging or being pushy? I just don’t know how to word things.
