“Don’t be afraid to ask for help, but that help might not be free.” Preach!
Jenn Vernarsky isn’t afraid to invest in herself, and it’s paid off—big time. Despite an established left-brain career in nursing, her right-brain creativity kept pulling her deeper into the world of photography.
What began with a family vacation and a starter DSLR camera quickly grew into a passion.
“There’s so much burnout in nursing,” Jenn reflects. She loved her patients, but she didn’t want that to be her fate. Maybe there was a way to have it all?
(Spoiler Alert: There was!)
Jenn strategically invested in the mentors, systems, and gear she needed to build a successful elopement and portrait photography business. One day at a time, she began tipping the scales from nursing income to generating her own revenue doing what she loved most—taking pictures.
Now, five years in, Jenn has learned a lot about how to manage clients, arrange her schedule, and learn up new skills, while picking up nursing shifts in her slow season. Most importantly, she’s learned that “Humans make mistakes.”
Her advice? Forgive yourself, learn from it, and press on. Oh, and take pictures every day!
