entrepreneurial genius * gainesville, florida headshot photographer

remember the name kristen haddad because she will be one to watch. this graduating UF student, launched her business Student Maid when she needed to earn extra money in college.  one client grew to another and then another…..fast forward to today and this savvy business lady serves 60+ clients per week with a staff of 45 UF students.  all of which must meet a minimum 3.5 GPA requirement.  so this crew is not only smart but hard working, responsible and polite.  and not only do they clean but they can also babysit, housesit, petsit and more.  if you are in need of some extra help, definitely check them out.

and did i mention that kristen is also drop dead gorgeous?  she’s got the complete package of beauty and brains.  here are a few of her new modern headshots….
