Hey there! I am Heather. A Richmond local and Sugar Shack Donut enthusiast. This is my little home where I write about long lasting love, foodie locations you HAVE to visit, renovations, and DIY projects.
I LOVE being a wedding photographer in the Richmond, Virginia area. Why? Because I have an amazing community of photographer & creatives that ask questions. Recently in our groups we have been talking about working full time jobs versus going full time with our business. This is something I have written about before. Now that I am 2 years out of college, working a full time job, a business owner, and living on my own I realize how important my full time job is. I always want to tell you guys that I have it all together and I blog regularly. I want to tell you that my system is full proof and everything always gets done exactly when I had planned. The truth is…it doesn’t. This blog is about me being honest to you and myself. I don’t want to hide and seem like I always “have it all together” because if you know me…that’s NOT me. I am the girl that has a ton of energy, lots of crazy cool ideas, and strives to make people laugh. I adore my family and love to travel. I am a business woman…I am still learning so many amazing ways to improve my business. There recently has been talk between photographers asking if having a full time job is a good idea or if you should focus your time on your business. Here are my thoughts (This is my personal experience!)
PROS of having a Full Time job
CONS of having a Full Time job
Most of the time, I manage and having a full time job allows me to grow in my business. I think everything has it’s pros and cons but having a full time job allows me to do what I love. Thankfully my full time job is AMAZING with really wonderful people. They support me and love that I am a wedding photographer. I hope this helps to all who are considering going full time with their business or having a full time job.
