Thursday, 15 May, 2025
Photographer Iasis Kennedy shares her journey from working at Anthropologie during the pandemic to becoming a full-time destination wedding photographer. With stimulus checks in hand and a new camera, what started as a casual hobby quickly evolved into a thriving business. Originally on the pre-nursing track at University of Washington, Iasis found herself drawn to photography after participating in styled shoots and realizing this creative path could become a legitimate career.Now with about 50% of her work being destination-based, Iasis discusses the challenges of pricing travel appropriately while building her portfolio. She reflects on lessons learned about advocating for herself financially, especially when excited about shooting in dreamy locations like Mexico, Spain, and Italy. Her approach centers on creating genuine friendships with clients rather than strictly business relationships - making her the ideal photographer for couples who want someone who feels like a friend documenting their special day.After transitioning to full-time photography just a year ago, Iasis credits industry friends who warned her about taking on too much work and a crucial pricing workshop that helped her understand exactly what to charge to sustain her business. Her experience offers valuable insights for photographers navigating the delicate balance between creative fulfillment, financial sustainability, and maintaining quality of life in a competitive industry.Check out Iasis' links!WebsiteInstagramTiktokGet Narrative for Free: narrative.so/select
