From Babies to Booties: The Story Behind CTF After Dark
Looking to connect with other women entrepreneurs in Polk County? Join us for another morning of Coffee & Connections with Polk County Women Mean Business!
Our biweekly meetings bring together women business owners, entrepreneurs and leaders who are ready to grow their businesses, build meaningful relationships and be part of a community that believes in collaboration over competition.
✨ THIS WEEK'S FEATURED SPEAKER: NIKKI DULIN OF CTF AFTER DARK
From photographing families to empowering women through boudoir photography, Nikki Dulin has built a business centered around helping women see themselves in a whole new light.
In her presentation, "From Babies to Booties: The Story Behind CTF After Dark," Nikki will share her journey from family photography to specializing in boudoir, what inspired CTF After Dark and what really goes into creating the personalized experience she offers her clients.
We'll talk about confidence, body image, stepping into a different business niche and why boudoir photography is about so much more than beautiful pictures.
Whether you're navigating a business pivot, finding your niche or learning to show up more confidently, Nikki's story is one you won't want to miss!
