When you let it take over you.... I Amarillo Photographer

 

One of the many reasons I stay so focused on looking for new ways to love what I have always loved is, because its not a "job" to me. It took me years to realize that someone out there would love my photography. I never set out to make this my full time job. I continue to stay passionate about a hobby I had for so long that turned into a part time gig. I love all the friends I have made along the way and the adventures my camera has taken me on.

There are millions of Photographers in the world (and in Amarillo) and I am so VERY thankful for the select few that have chosen me to capture their lives and all the amazing moments! Thank you for believing in me when I was branching out to the world and sticking by my side as I improve and coming back for more! For the loyalty knowing I am not in it to chase a buck and for not taking up all the "free" offers from other photogs.
Thank you for referring me to your friends and family! 

 I really appreciate you all!! Much Love -- Jessica

Taking the plunge!

It was summer 2011 and I feel in love! I had always wanted one. It would have been my first time with one. And after I saw it, there was nothing else I could think of.  My husband bought me my first Canon Rebel! I have always had a small point and shoot at my side for many, many, many years. Now it was time for the big toy. There are many more lens and memory cards and batteries and gadgets and bags and flashes and lens and straps and lens covers that I need....(just to name a few items on the wish list) But for now I love playing with this camera. I have enjoyed catching candid and not so candid moments on it. I love the people I have had in front of it and dream of many, many more to snap, shoot, capture, and make memories for.  I decided to take the plunge and start a business. A "go back to work" ploy if you will. Whats that old saying?... "Do you what you love and you will never have to work a day in your life"....pretty sure I am doing just t...

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 busi...

Filing and making and filing and setting up galleries and getting a number... I Amarillo Photographer

I've been busy, ya'll!! I filed with Potter and Randall. I have a Tax ID. I am starting to feel more and more like a business!! I have had some hiccups along the way, but I have learned EVERY successful person/business has some bumps in the road! Fortunately for me it isn't about how many "likes" or "mentions" I get, but it is about loyalty to me as a friend and business owner. I have repeat clients. I have family and friends that call on me to capture a sweet moment for them. And I have made friends along the way. Unfortunately, I have lost friends along the way. But were they really my friends to begin with? Probably not. And that's ok!! I want to say THANK YOU a million times to everyone that has stood in front of my camera and has given me the opportunity to capture life and make it stand still. And for referring me to your friends and also coming back again and again to let me capture more memories. There are A LOT of photographers in m...
