In 2008 I had my 2nd child, and I was obsessed with taking photos of my boys. I had just picked up a DSLR and I was HOOKED! Soon friends were seeing my photos and asking me to take thier families' photos, too! Naively, I launched a website and photography business and soaked up everything I could learn online. I made lots of mistakes, but persevered and grew along the way. It was fun and hard and I was editing late into the night while my kids slept...
Fast forward a decade and I finally found my work smarter not harder system. I'm proud to say I've cultivated a six figure photography business since 2019, but it was a long road getting here! There are so many things I would do differently if I had to do it over again.
