Next year is TWENTY YEARS in business. Only 25% of businesses make it 15 years or more. I have been the founder and main employee of this business this whole time. My business has been nimble and flexible. I built it in Edmonton, and when I moved to Lethbridge, I rebuilt it here in Lethbridge. It has continued through a move, me going to school for 8 years, and a pandemic.
I've photographed hundreds of weddings in 5 countries, and countless family groups, boudoir sessions, kids, babies and pets. I've now increased my skills to aerial and commercial, as well as with fine art.
My kids grew up in front of my lens. My business allowed a certain lifestyle for our family and I worked around my kids' schedules and needs. I've worked extremely hard at building and maintaining this business and I've continuously elevated my skills over the years too by judging image competition usually multiple times a year and continuing to grow in my craft.
I brought my business down to part time to accommodate nursing school and a nursing career as my kids were nearing adulthood. My business continues to be a source of joy and expression of creativity.
I'm so glad I chose to walk this road back in 2003.
I'm excited to celebrate 20 years in 2023!! Not every business gets to do this.
