This time last year, I would have considered my photography a hobby that I could make a little money from. It was my main goal to take it from a hobby to a legit business that I built all by myself! I am proud to say I’ve made it! What does that mean for you??? You have a guarantee that I am a licensed professional playing by the rules in North Carolina! I like to play by the rules! The main thing is means though is that session fees will now require a 6.75% sales tax charge, which thankfully doesn’t add too much extra to your timeless investment. I started InBetween the Blinks (my website and facebook page) as a way to share photos of shelter animals and get them more exposure. I am happy to say that I still do that and dedicate a lot of time to that mission. There is a lot of blood, sweat and tears that go into creating your own business (especially when you have another full time job). There’s marketing, training, education, major investments in equipment and now I’m on the path of trying to figure out all of this accounting, receipts and tax recording which requires more investments to make sure I’m legit. I have so much respect for my fellow photographers and when we all play by the rules, it strengthens our value and craft. Thank you to all of my amazing clients for your support and trust to help me reach this amazing goal!
