Amarillo Photographer

Photographers often work crazy hours: they’re up late in the evening editing, sending emails, and working on their websites. However, it’s important to set your schedule and stick to it. It will give you the opportunity to fit in hobbies and family time, as well as meet your strict deadlines without feeling overwhelmed.   --- Source ShootProof Blog



Often times I have great weeks where everything runs smooth. Other times its hectic and I never feel like I will get it all done. Clients, whether they are family or friends, come first when I sit down to work. I like to say I have business hours, but in all honesty I work until I have product in hand to my clients. Even if that means going to bed after midnight or working on a Sunday morning. 


I do try to find that balance in running an at home business and do my best not to let it interfere with my family. Cause in the short and long of it, they do come first. I have the privilege to work from home and grow my business. I have great support from my husband and family. That's a HUGE plus. 

I like setting my own hours, working in my pajamas, and having my dogs lay at my feet as I work. Pointing a camera is fun. It's also a lot of work. There are expectations I have to meet for every session I am ask/paid to do. I am working for the client as soon as I book the session, all the way to delivering the product. Editing is more time consuming than the actual "picture taking". I spend hours upon hours and sometimes those hours run into days before I am completed and satisfied with the pictures. 

I am still in the beginning phases of being where I want to be. Running a photography business means staying on top of all the latest gear, editing software and constantly being on the hunt for new and exciting locations so I can achieve the things I want with each client. New and old. Family and friends.



Happy Friday and Happy Weekend

Tuesday thoughts I Amarillo Photographer

That's the thing. I'm finding myself in a rut. I have always always always owned a camera and thought that every picture I took was a piece of art. And now that I am trying to build up clientele, I am finding myself scared of the camera. I am finding myself researching the latest lens and editing software and then scared to make that purchase. I keep telling myself.... spend money to make money. But what if my last "session" was my last "session'. Why now am I afraid of failing. I've NEVER been afraid of failing. So. I am going to breath. I am going to fiercely take on my next sessions and all the other ones that come my way with out hesitation. Without worry. Without taking criticism so seriously. I do what I feel looks right. I have been charging what I feel is right. I take pictures the way I feel is right.  Breath......Jessica........
