Education for Photographers

It’s that thing you can’t get out of your head; the thing you lie awake at night, dreaming about. Your heart yearns to fulfill it’s true passion, but the logistics and fear have kept you stuck. You toss and turn about how to make your dream a reality, always coming back to the same thoughts.

“What if I fail?”
“What if I am not good enough?”

What if, what if, what if.

Here is the “what if” you need to be asking: What if you succeeded? What if you made your business a reality? What if created a career for yourself that you are excited about? One that you can use to bless others’ lives? What if you got to live your life with flexibility, and excitement to wake up in the mornings?

It has been a long while since I wrote anything on education for photographer friends out there! In 2017, I sincerely want to pursue teaching photography.

There was a time in my life where I laid awake at night, dreading school in the morning, because I knew the path I was walking wasn’t right for me. I’ve been there. I know that feeling of longing for something you think you’ll never have; the dreams that you think will stay dreams.

And then it happened.

Slowly, I began taking steps to make my dream reality. I bought my camera, I started shooting, I started educating myself.

I’m not going to say I didn’t have to hustle, because I did. That first year was all hustle. It taught me about hard work, and about sacrifice. If there is one thing I know, it is this: Nothing is more rewarding than working for yourself.

Every little thing you do, every sacrifice you make, and every ounce of hard work you exert, directly benefits your end goal.

Photography has given me so much. It’s given me a way to contribute to my family, both financially and by having a flexible schedule so that we don’t have to worry about day care. It’s given me a career that is exciting and fulfilling. It’s given me a chance to meet and work with incredible people.

Now, I have been laying awake at night, tossing and turning, dreaming of a way to give others what I have.

The only way I have learned was because other photographers were and are willing to share their knowledge with me. I want to share that knowledge by doing education for photographers. I want to share the freedom that I have felt from having a career that I love.

Whether you are a photographer wanting fresh marketing ideas, aspiring photographer wanting more clients, or you just got a camera for christmas and want to know how to use it better, I want to hear from you!

What questions do you have? What is that thing that keeps you up at night? How can I support you?

As apart of this journey to provide education for photographers, I will be blogging more along the way. I will be answering questions, and extending my mentoring sessions.
