I can’t believe it’s been a year (and it’s only been a year) since I officially started my photography business.
In one sense time has flown and I have been very fortunate and lucky to have been able to try out many types of photography. I have done a wide variety of sessions that included newborns, children, family, couples, engagement, boudoir, bridal, weddings, corporate, and event photography.
In other ways I can’t believe it’s only been a year because of the tremendous growth and knowledge I have obtained. I have learned to work with different types of people and also learned what works best for certain types of sessions. I have learned the business side of things, including the fact that a photography business takes time, money and passion to build. When first getting into this profession I had no idea what I was getting myself into. There are licenses to be obtained, taxes to be paid, equipment, insurance, samples, training and the list goes on and on.
I am happy to say that I have finally found my place in the photography world and know what needs to be done to run my business smoothly. As I have mentioned before, although I have done many types of sessions, I am going to focus on all things weddings (including bridal, rock the dress, engagement & boudoir) while also taking a limited amount of newborn, children and family sessions throughout the year.
Looking back I have to say that while the road was bumpy and not always clear I am glad I pushed through the challenges and kept moving forward. It is not often that people can say that they do what they love for a living, and I honestly can say that I do for the first time in my life.
To all of my family, friends and clients that have supported me through my first year, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I could not have done this without each and everyone of you.
I can’t wait to see what the second year brings me and I hope to see you all again soon!
