I can’t believe that I’ve been a small business owner for 13 years!!
I quit my job as a full-time secretary to pursue photography FULL-TIME in 2009!
During 2009 & 2010 – photography was certainly my FULL-TIME business!!
Then Fitzy was born in 2011 & Enoch in 2013 and raising babies became my FULL-TIME business and photography took a little bit of a back seat.
Fitzy is almost 11 and Enoch is 8 and I am SO THANKFUL that I was able to be home with them while they were little little guys. I’m STILL so thankful that I get to pick them up from school and spend my afternoons with them. I spend summers with them – and it’s my FAVORITE!!
I consider photography my full-time job even though it’s more seasonal. The past 2 years have been AMAZING with all of you!
