What do you do now?

As of now (February 2008) I own my business called Jared Lee Photography LLC and I am a freelance photographer for the La Crosse Tribune and surrounding weekly newspapers. Visit my website at www.JaredLeeLLC.com . I photograph weddings, seniors, families,sports, pets, newborns, and I also do digital photo restoration. During the spring-summer-early fall months, I am busy with weddings on the weekends, seniors and families throughout the week days. During the winter, business is really slow because I don't have any studio equipment (lighting, backdrops etc) so I do all of my sessions outdoors. However, during the winter months, I am busy with consultations for potential wedding clients for the upcoming wedding season. I also get a few requests for photo reprints from high school sporting events.

As far as being a freelance photographer, I photograph random sporting assignments, and news assignments for the La Crosse Tribune and surrounding weekly newspapers. I photograph mainly sporting events, because the staff photographers are the Tribune photograph those throughout the day, and a lot of the news assignments don't normally occur later in the evening because of people getting out of work. High school sporting events usually occur anywhere from 4PM start times, to 7:30PM start times.

I couldn't enjoy my job anymore. I love the people I work with, I love what I do and everyday is a new day, a different game, and different people to meet. I get front row seats to whatever I want, it keeps me involved in high school sports, and overall I just enjoy capturing the moments that thousands look at. It's a sense of pride when someone says, "Ohhhh cool picture!" I did my job, enough said.

What do you do now? Tell a story.

What's happening brother. I didn't know that you had your own photography business? I have some friends with weddings coming up so I'll see if I can't round you up some business. We'll have to get together one of these weekends for a few big boy drinks...See you in the gym. Later man.
