Get to Know Stacey Hanlon
Q: How has Sue Bryce Education changed your life for the better?
A: Honestly, in every aspect of my business. If I had to pick one aspect, it would be The Portrait Masters Conference. It is not only the best conference in the industry, the community is unlike any other I have belonged to, and I have made incredible friendships!
Q: How did you push past fear when building your business?
A: I believe that everything I have ever wanted is on the other side of my fear. As Sue teaches, it is important to feel it and keep going, as fear is always along for the ride. It is also in knowing that success comes from failure. We must fail in order to succeed.
Q: For someone starting out on their photography journey what advice would you have for them?
A: If you don’t enjoy doing something in your business, outsource it. I wasted so much time and money on things I thought I needed, but I did not. As well, find your block and clear it. Once you do, you are well on your way!
Q: Most artists have a point in their life where they knew this was meant for them. Do you have that moment?
A: Mine is two-fold. When I got married to my second husband, I watched my photographers with awe at how they took charge. I started my business shortly after. Secondly, I felt lost in my journey. I had no idea what genre I wanted to do, so I did it all. It wasn’t until I watched CreativeLive when Sue Bryce was talking about her journey and genre back in 2012. I connected so much with her message. I haven’t turned back since.
