This image above couldn't explain it any better.
I get the question quite often:
How does it feel now that you are a FULL time photographer & doing what you LOVE?
Well, it's only been two weeks and I am a whirlwind of emotions. I am so happy that I am finally doing what I love to do. Getting up every morning to start the day has more purpose than ever before. However, it is such a drastic change to my every day routine that I am a little shell shocked and scared.
I literally wake up every day and go straight to my computer to edit, market, email, research etc. with pure enjoyment that I occasionally stop what I'm doing, feel guilty for doing it, and then quickly realize, HEY! This IS what you are supposed to be doing, YES, keep going!!

I never knew it was possible to enjoy work so much that you feel guilty about it, HA!!!
What's my biggest Challenge?
Well, like most, making sure I can keep it going financially is a challenge. It's certainly a cut from what I was used to getting. But, like I said, I am getting a paycut for happiness.
Another is sticking to a routine. I have a huge list beside me of things that I MUST get done. I have so much to do that I get quickly sidetracked and jump from one thing to another. However, I do get things done, plus more ;)

What are some other perks about your new job?
Hands down, having my 3 year old home with me 2 days a week. I spent so much time, while working my last job, booking photo sessions after work or on weekends that I felt as though I never got to see my kids. So, this is perfect in every way. Come summer, I will have both of them home with me two days a week. Time to try to make up for lost time.
What is your new schedule now?
I will be booking Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and 2 weekends out of each month for families. I thought I would have issues booking during the week since most people work, but I have yet to have any issues with that. It works out so great!
Do you have new prices now that you're full time?
Not really new pricing, just simplified pricing. My goal is to make all my prices fit everyone including myself.

What is a Welcome guide?I created a Welcome Guide for all my potential clients to get to know me as a person, what my goals & objectives are, where my specialties are and how to prepare yourself and your family for your session with me. Everything you need to know is all in this guide.
