6. How I got started in photography

Oh friends, today I am sharing something I get asked about so much… how I got started as a photographer. I will be the first to say that the journey was not easy or without bumps (and a whole lot of stress) along the way. However, it was a journey that has inspired me and filled me with joy as I look back at each and every client that I have worked with.

From my love of fashion ads as a young girl growing up on a tiny farm in Tennessee to the hot, blistering sun beating down on me at my on location shoots here in Houston, the photography journey has filled me with excitement and yearning for more. Originally this podcast was an Instagram LIVE back in January, but I also added on a new portion at the end that gives you my top 5 tips on how you can get started on your side hustle or starting a business from scratch.
