THIS IS THE JOURNEY

If you've just come across this blog randomly or if you've come here from my old blog, just be fore warned that I don't have a set date when I post.  It just kind of comes randomly and I'm just gonna go with it. Most photographers have a blog.  That's what I've seen anyway.  Usually used to help others with shooting tips or to showcase some of their work that doesn't quite make it onto their websites.  Ooorrr, because it's just what's in right now and hey why not.  I choose all of it.  LOL. I won't bore you with the details of who I am.  I'll leave that little task to you.  *Hint* You can find out about me on my website.  (www.chasinglightinc.com) Yup.  Perfect place to plug that. =)

Anyway

You can see by the title of my blog that this will be the journey of Chasing Light.  My personal journey of one day making in the business of photography.  I'm going to start at the beginning of how Chasing Light began.

Before Chasing Light I was and currently still the Owner/Co-founder of a company called Studio Apartment Three, which I started with 2 others in October of 2015.  We were able to book a few clients for Headshots and a few engagement sessions.  It was a company that was just always a bit all over the place in the sense of we do too much.  My passion for photography thrives from working with couples and natural light.  Shooting couples in an intimate photo session or the complete opposite, an editorial and styled photo session.

I decided that I needed to separate from Studio Apartment Three to start what is now the sister company, Chasing Light.  Where I focus on Engagements, Elopements, Weddings and the occasional Portraits.  It just made the most sense.  When I was looking for wedding photographers we didn't look for just photographers, we were searching for "Wedding" photographers.  To be completely honest, it's probably the best decision I've ever made for myself.  I was just really scared to do anything on my own.  So I found myself 2 friends with a similar interest in photography and we founded Studio Apartment Three.  It took me just under 2 years to figure out that I can do this on my own.  Making decisions, build a website, run a website, booking clients (slowly), shooting, etc all on my own is actually not hard.

It just means that whatever decisions I make, if it fails, is all on me and I learn from it and grow.  While of course maybe it's a success and well, I'll learn and grow.

Talk to you guys in the next post.
