× so, i have some news
recently i accepted a full time marketing position for a Maine based real estate company! as exciting as it is, i’ve also been struggling with overwhelming imposter syndrome. i have never been happier with my career since i picked my camera back up four years ago, so switching gears a bit feels like failure in a sense. i have grown so much since then, both personally + professionally, which is honestly why i’m even able to begin this new chapter in the first place.
let me be clear - table three is NOT going anywhere. with such a saturated industry, it’s incredibly difficult to make a living while also staying true to yourself + your brand. i was at the point where i was constantly bidding on facebook posts, competing with hundreds of other suggestions. i found myself ready to say yes to any + every photography opportunity that came near me. let me tell you, that’s not how i do things over here.
maybe i’m old fashioned, but i think photography is more than just pictures. it’s a craft. it’s an eye that not everyone that owns a camera has. it’s noticing the discreet moments. it’s seeing art in the smallest details. it’s making meaningful + lasting connections. it’s an entire experience, from inquiry to delivery. to be completely honest, i was starting to feel like a factory.
what this means for my clients - nothing will change. i am working full time for both jobs. right now, it’s a bit of a learning curve navigating this new schedule, all the travel, working while also trying to take care of myself + my relationships. this transition is going to allow me the freedom to let my clients find me, spend my time practicing my craft, booking projects because i WANT to, not because i have to.
i will be scaling back my design services significantly, focusing my table three time on photography - couples, weddings + bo***ir. i will be putting a lot of time + effort into enhancing client experience, developing new packages, learning + upgrading my gear. for now, all i ask for some patience with editing timelines + email responses.
thank you, all of you. i literally would not be able to do this without you. cheers to this next chapter🥂🖤⚡️
