what I’d have loved to have known as a beginner photographer 13 years ago…
- if you focus on who and what you love, the rest works itself out… I’ve always been drawn to family photographs, mamas loving on their kids and the details within those sessions.
- it’s OK to not do everything. In fact, it’s better that way. I did exactly one wedding photo shoot, and it was a giant anxiety fest for me, there are people who love shooting weddings, and I love that for them!
- focus on building a sustainable schedule, burnout is a real issue in this industry…when times isn’t managed properly. Be realistic with your boundaries and set limits for yourself, especially in the busy season! If you are way too busy, then you need to raise your prices 🫶
- the photos really matter. It’s not vapid or vain to capture legacy.
