Considering myself a small business is something new, scary and exciting for me. I’ve been doing photography since I was 7. I got paid for the first time when I was 17. There’s something intimidating about considering myself a small business. I also still deal with a lot of imposter syndrome, which makes things hard. One thing about me, is I am going to push myself and do things outside of my comfort zone. I do want to work in studios more because lighting isn’t my strong suit. So when I see The Gathering Place, a local photography studio, was having a business brunch, I HAD to go. Two big things I was scared of together? I’d be a fool to not go. That imposter syndrome was no joke. I felt like I didn’t belong, and that I wasn’t legit enough to be there. When Kelsey, the event host, started talking about why she put together the Bestie’s Brunch, my anxiety was put to ease. Slightly. What really melted my anxiety away was when we got time to make content, and I grabbed my camera.
I got so comfortable, I ended up taking some self portriats
What a fun day!
