>> My name's Chris Kendig, and I'm a professional photographer. I've been on my own for 13 years. I had a wedding business and sort of family portrait business for that whole time pretty much. I actually just shut that down this year. And now I focus primarily on organizations that have missions that I believe in. Every day is very different in terms of scheduling. It's always the same tasks, just different times of the day, really. So I work from home. And it's always combination of either editing, shooting, answering emails, going to networking events to try to find clients and build relationships, and then just trying to find time for my own personal stuff. Because I work from home, it's hard for me to have a separation. It's not like I go to this place from 9:00 to 5:00 and I leave it there. It's like I wake up and there's my computer, so of course I'm going to sit down and start working or whatever.
