Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in photography but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Sergio Queiroz Santos, Founder of SQSPhotography LLC., located in Marietta, GA, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We are a headshot specialist studio offering tailored headshot solutions for all clients. We range from B to B corporate headshots to specific actors/model headshot needs.

Tell us about yourself

I have studied photography for many years, and I did shoot many genres of photography. I fell in love with headshots and the power of empowering people around ten years ago. Every client I get to meet and be with becomes part of my story; they share experiences and enrich my daily life with so many ideas and inspirations.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I really believe that moving to a completely new state and rebuilding my business is my greatest accomplishment. It is still on the move since it has been a year and a bit now, but it is coming back, and I am already feeling like a part of the community where I live and work in.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

The hardest thing about being a business owner is managing personal/business time. We do not have days offs or time that we are not thinking about our own business. It is really difficult to stop and say: "It is my time and my family's time now. I will not work!"

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

It is not easy. It is not fast. Don't burn yourself out.

It will not be an easy and magical process to become a business owner. It will ask a lot from you and be prepared for it. With a few exceptions, of course, businesses do not grow super fast in a healthy way. It takes time and dedication, but it is worth it! It is not a sprint; it is a marathon so go pacing yourself to come out with a victory!
