My Very First Photography Business Class in Lansdale, Pa.

I have to say, I LOVE photography!  It has my heart and is my passion. The ability to create beautiful lasting images, watching the look on my clients' faces when they see that special moment I captured and telling someones story through my lens is such a rewarding feeling!

But like every other woman out there, I can't contain my love to just one thing... I must say with a heavy heart, that my sometimes I cheat on photography... the other half of my heart lye's with business planning and accounting and helping other people understand how the to apply it all to their personal business.

When I started learning about photography, I dove into all the learning tools that I could find.  I wanted to understand camera functions, lighting, composition, client interaction and everything there is to know about being a photographer.  But what I realized while I was sifting through all the amazing information out there, was that there was not a lot of things to help you learn how to run a smooth, successful business and really understand your bookkeeping, profits and bottom-line!

Then I joined this facebook group of amazing woman. They are all photographers in my area, all learning and growing from each other and all being a great support system!  They would post questions about sales tax, taxes and other business questions and the confusion from everyone would start.  So I had an idea...I should hold a class!!  I have a degree in both accounting and paralegal studies.  I am a cost accountant when I am not being a photographer.  Before that I was an Sales and Use tax auditor for the State of Pa, so why not share what I know to people that could truly use it to help them grow their business!

I have always seen two different paths in my life.... the ambitious managerial accountant with her MBA help businesses plan for a super successful future...AND the artistic photographer who can live a satisfying, filling life capture beautiful moments for people to keep forever.  I never once thought that I could merge my two loves together! And this past Sunday, I did!  I taught some wonderful photographers in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, how to understand their expenses, calculate their profit margins, understand sales and use tax and so much more!! I am so grateful for the opportunity to teach everyone and can't wait to do more of this in the future.  I truly feel blessed.
