There was a time that I worked a job I never wanted to leave. I was absolutely in love with what I did and though of course like any job with a few downsides, I never could imagine quitting no matter what. It was during this time that I began my photography career with the intention of being bi-vocational for a very long time. At that time in my life, I didn’t want to leave.

As life goes things change, and my job transformed into something I didn’t love as much as I had at first. In the meantime, my photography business was picking up, and I started to play around with the idea of doing that full-time instead. I had booking goals and some minimums to meet but eventually, in February of 2016, I turned in my two weeks’ notice and walked away from my day job. To say I am thankful for being able to work where I did five years is an understatement, but over time photography became my passion and I remember how thrilled I was to be able to work for myself full time.

There’s a lot of people that never get to experience what that’s like, try as they might..
