From Hobby to Business: How I Turned My Passion for Photography into a Side Hustle

From Hobby to Business: How I Turned My Passion for Photography into a Side Hustle

As a hobbyist photographer, I've always loved capturing life's special moments through my lens.  Whether it's the beauty of nature, excitement of sports, or the joy of events, I've always found solace in the art of photography.  But, as much as I enjoyed it, I never thought I'd be able to turn my passion into a side business.  That was until I created my own photography site!

The Idea Takes Shape

After years of taking photographs of family, friends and sports, I realized that being behind the lens I was capturing moments to cherish for a lifetime.  I further realized that not everyone remembers to take photographs during events.  So after months of planning and preparation, I created a website to offer my services to others at an affordable cost.  I decided to focus on four main areas: nature, candid, sports and event photography.  I wanted to offer a diverse range of photography services to cater to different clients and their needs.

Nature Photography

My favorite part of the website it the nature photography.  I've always been fascinated by the beauty of the natural world, and I've spent countless hours capturing stunning images of landscapes, wildlife and plants.  The best part??  I'm making these photos available for digital download on my site!  Whether you're looking for a unique wallpaper for your phone or computer, or want to use an image for a project, my nature photography collection is sure to impress.

Candid, Sports, and Event Photography

In addition to nature photography, I also offer candid, sports, and event photography services.  Whether it's capturing special moments at a child's first birthday party, pre-prom photos, spring formal photos, family photos, or photographing your player in a sporting team's big game, I'm equipped to handle any type of event photography.  

The Benefits 

Having my own photography site has been a game-changer for me.  Not only do I have complete control over the content and design of the site, but I also get to set my own prices and terms, which allows me to be more flexible and competitive in the market.  All of this while having fun.
