The Photographer's Podcast

Get ready for the therapy session you didn’t realize you needed today!

I’m so excited to be sharing an Instagram Live I had last month with the amazing Jordan Stratton, an alumni from The Photographer’s Path. Jordan is an incredible wedding photographer from Oklahoma and I can’t wait for you to get to know her today.

Jordan started TPP in Fall of 2022. A few weeks after joining, she quit her full-time job of 8 years to pursue photography. Talk about a MAJOR CHANGE right?! Some of you might be sweating just thinking about this transition.

But Jordan didn’t just blindly quit, she knew what she was doing. She quit her full-time job to work part-time while she actively pursued her photography dreams at the same time.

But the best part?! She quit her part-time job and it only took her 8 months to become a FULL-TIME WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER! WHAT!?!

Jordan's story is such an inspiration because it shows that there are so many different paths to take that can lead to your dreams and that not any one journey is the same as the next.

You can make your dreams happen in a way that works for you.

So, if photography is a dream in your heart, but quitting your day job seems out of reach, I hope this episode inspires you and shows you what’s possible when you say yes!!
