Well. At this very moment I'm taking a break from editing a couple hundred photos from a wedding.

I started this whole wedding photography business last year. It's hard right now because it seems pretty impossible to balance being a full-time student, having a social life, and trying to maintain an independent business.

My parents have always been entrepreneurs. My Mom has started and successfully ran a good number of different businesses. My Dad is majorly into buying and selling real estate. My brother started his own company when he was 19 (he sells performance car parts) and I started this photography buisness when I was 19 also. I enjoy photography and it's something I can see myself doing for a long time, in some form or another. The business part of it is HARD though. Very very hard. People seem to be under the impression that anyone can just get paid to take pictures and it's easy as pie, but it's not. There's so much to consider and even with digital photography, there's a lot of overhead involved. And oh man, y'all don't even want to know how much work goes into designing and putting together a huge leather matte album.

It beats working for other people though.

My whole family has a thing for being our own bosses.

My main focus right now is to branch out into portrait and child photography. I love kids! Hopefully I'll be able to design some new marketing material for that stuff this week...
