I am excited to introduce this next "She Inspires" feature, the oh so talented Christina Carroll of Christina Carroll Photography, in Austin, TX. I had the joy of working with Christina in 2010 and it was such a great experience. Her beautiful personality inspires right along with her over the top photography.
Q&A:
What one thing inspires you on a daily?
Love inspires me on a daily basis! Whether it's the love I share with my husband, family and friends or the love and connections I get to photograph between my clients. I think photographing couples in love is powerful and intimate.
How did you start your business/blogging and what keeps you focused?
After working in Corporate America for 4 years after college I decided that I needed to follow my dreams and pursue photography full time. From that point on I worked for both jobs for a year and a half. I'd go months without a day off! It was totally worth it in the end. The drive to be a better person, photographer and business woman keeps me focused. Everyday I want to do better and learn more!
What's your design style?
My style is very fashion-forward. It's artistic, fun and romantic.
What words of inspiration do you have for other aspiring business women?
Definitely follow your dreams and passions. Life is too short not to. You just have to be smart about it. Running a business is hard work but very rewarding in the end.
What three things do you have to have in your bag/purse?
My iPhone, bareMinerals Buxom lip gloss (it's the best!) and Ray-Ban aviator sunglasses
Note to Christina: Thanks for stopping by! You are such an inspiration and I completely love your style! I look forward to working with you again soon!
YOU ARE FABULOUS!!
