Welcome! If you’re here, you’ve heard about my new podcast, From Finance to Photography!
Before I ever pursued photography professionally, my education and background is in, you guessed it, Finance. I have a bachelors in Finance and Marketing and after college went on to pursue a career in Wealth Management where I spent 7 years climbing the corporate ladder. I earned my Finra licenses and became a financial advisor, alongside earning my CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ designation.
You might be wondering, so why photography then? It wasn’t until I was getting married that I learned about the wedding industry and that there was a whole other career path out there that truly sparked my passion. I had a photography hobby since high school, but never imagined that I could make a career out of it. Once I started doing research for my own wedding, I learned that as a wedding photographer I could make a comfortable living, while pursuing my passion and serving my clients. I never looked back!
The wedding industry is worth over $200 Billion in 2024 and only projected to grow. Not only that, but it’s predominently female. In my experience as an advisor and also in establishing relationships within the industry, I’ve learned that there is a large financial literacy gap between males and females and even greater within creative entrepreneurs.
Once I had my daughter, I had to re-evaluate what I really wanted out of life. Had I continued my wealth management career and my photography busienss, I was looking at working “regular” hours alongside nights and weekends, and basically not seeing my family. I just knew this wasn’t how I envisioned motherhood, but I also knew that I wanted to keep working.
