Today we’d like to introduce you to Amanda Farnsworth.
Hi Amanda, so excited to have you on the platform. So, before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today.
I started doing photography classes when I was in junior high, all through high school, and I started my college career going into photography major as well. I always had such a passion for capturing special moments and looking back at images and having a smile at the moments that were captured! I have been doing photography on and off for the last 10 years and really full-time for the last 3 years. I love it and enjoy it so much!
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way? Looking back, would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I changed careers to go into nursing. I ended up having major panic attacks and anxiety, that I ended up having to drop out of nursing school. I never finished my degree, and it made me really depressed. I didn’t think I would amount to anything and that I had let me, husband, and kids down. I found joy and relief in photography. I really found such a passion for it. It helped to calm my anxieties and depression. I found something that I was good at and that I never thought I could make a career out of. But now I have it as my main career, and I have never been happier!
Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I am a photographer! My favorite thing to photograph is weddings and couples! I also enjoy working with families and kids!
I am most proud that I have been able to turn my passion and joy into a career. I think that I have made my husband and kids proud, and it truly makes me proud of myself knowing that I can contribute to our family and help us to pay for things like groceries or gas.
I think the thing that sets me apart from other photographers is my personality.
I really love meeting new people and making new friends in my field! I love to promote other photographer San other creatives in the same field. I like to make people happy and see smiles on everyone’s faces, and knowing that I can make a difference with people in capturing their precious moments in life!
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
I have 4 amazing kids and a super amazing husband that I have been married to for 7 years! I love to be outdoors, hiking, biking, camping, four-wheeling, and going for drives!
