(back) in business

I’ve hinted at this so many times and now I am finally ready to tell: I just founded my own photography business.
I offer portrait, family and animal sessions for now and you can find me on Facebook. In the coming months I will be launching a blog to share photoshoots, a website and a small online shop selling my most requested images as prints.

I am very excited! Juggling a full time office job, a photography business and my personal life will be challenging (in fact, it already is), so I am taking things slowly. In the past months I have done a lot of research, talked to my accountant and learned about taxes and the whole business side of it. I am doing everything in this myself (including the website), so the new pages will be up one at a time.

The idea is to build this business slowly but steadily over the next few years.

I’m happy to be finally doing this and excited to see what 2012 will bring!

I’ve been hoping you’d take the leap. As Victoria said, It’s about time! You are so talented and I am sooo happy you are going to share this talent with the world. Starting slow is good. Great news!! I’m doing a happy dance this morning for you!!

Thank you all so much! You have no idea how much I appreciate your encouragement and kind words!
Having a business is exciting and scary at the same time, I too felt it was about time I take the plunge and just see what happens 🙂

Thanks Sherrie! I will keep you updated of course 🙂 But don’t expect there to be dozens of photoshoots a month, I’m starting out really slowly. I’m still working on the pages and the marketing and have only a couple of hours a week to do it, so it all takes much longer than I’d like 🙂
