I wanted to be in association with other photographers doing this fun photography thing for a living. I have known for a while that if I wanted to make a decent salary, my business was going to have to change and my prices increase. Being a new business owner, I am all about seeking advice form those who know what they're doing. I had read several articles about PPA members utilizing SMS and knew if I wanted to give my business a major shot in the arm, that was where I needed to go. While attending Imaging USA in 2013, I signed up for an SMS business consultation and got to visit with Bridget Jackson and my mentor Allison Rodgers. They helped give me the confidence to charge what I'm worth and help run my business better. After being involved with the SMS program, I wish I had been a member long before now!
