Photography is a creative business. Most of it deals with the art and the people. Then there is the "business" side of things that I'm having to figure out now. Thankfully, I have wonderful friends and family who can help me. Math and I are NOT friends. I'm not sure we're enemies, but it's a struggle for me. I can deal with simple "income, output" but then there are TAXES. *duh, duh, duh*
One of the strangest things about taxes is there doesn't seem to be a logical reason. We were looking at the graduated tax scale and it's so weird how it works! So now we have math and illogical methods. Sounds like a recipe for success if I ever heard one :) We set up a very simple system for me to keep track of these kinds of things and in a few months, we'll see how it's working for me and if we need to adjust things to work better for my actual needs. A photographer's life can be kind of lonely. We mostly work on our own, but at the same time, I don't think we actually can do our jobs by ourselves. Maybe it's just me, but besides simply having people to encourage, I need those people in my life who are ahead of me in business. People who know what I need to do to make this business a success. I'm a very blessed to have people who love me and care about me and want to help me succeed in this. Are you a small business owner? Who helped you get going?

Hi! I'm Sarah!
I am a natural light portrait photographer. I've been taking photos since 2014 and would eat a smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe for lunch everyday if I could. Thank you so much for stopping by. I blog about sessions, things I'm learning, stuff in my life, and information for YOU, my client. If you like what you see around the site, I'd love to work with you! I'd also love to connect with you on Instagram. I'm @sarah_jayne_photo :) Archives
