What We Wish We Had Known When We First Started Freelancing (Part 1)

Hi Weekend Club friends! Currently writing this while stuck in the airport in Phoenix on our way to NYC. It's been a journey since we left San Jose 24 hours ago to say the LEAST. Anyway, I'm really excited about this post, I feel like it really gets at the heart of why we started this community, to foster a place where photographers can share their experiences in order to learn and grow together.

When we started out, we had no idea what we were doing, literally none. We didn't know anything about starting a business, working with clients, or even about product photography. To read more about our story, check out this post. There are so many things that we've learned over the years, and so many things we wish we had known back then, so now I want to pass them along to you to hopefully help you avoid some of the mistakes that we made along the way. As I sat down to write this, I had so much I wanted to say that I decided to make this into a two-part post so stay tuned for the second part coming soon!

This post is available exclusively for our online community - The Weekend Club!

The Weekend Club is an online community of photographers wanting to learn and grow together. We share a ton of exclusive content over there, and we would love for you to join us! Learn more about it in this post.

Is it the weekend yet?
