Meet AJ | Photographer

We had the good fortune of connecting with AJ and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi AJ, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Honestly starting a business is a huge commitment. You must have the time and patience if you are expecting your business to succeed and eventually expand. Throughout the entire process I’ve had plenty of days where I would ask myself, “is this something you really want to do? Do you have the ability to gain the perfect clientele? my thoughts were everywhere as any business owner would be as well.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business consists of photography and videography services. I offer coverage for sports teams, corporate events, family portraits, graduation ceremonies and so much more. I’m always excited because I stepped out on faith and never gave up on my business even though there were some days I couldn’t see the light at the end of the tunnel. One big lesson I learned is to always be patient & consistent, starting up a business will never be peaches and cream as we expect. we have to go through the trials and make sure we are able to fix everything that is going wrong,

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Some good places I would recommend to friends who are in town to try out would be Fat Tuesday if they are interested in a night out sharing a couple of adult beverages.I would also recommend the sugar factory as a nice dine-in spot to have great food and drinks. If my friends were to be looking for beach scenery I would recommend south beach. The vibes are good and with Florida weather I know for sure a dip in the water would be nice. Some other places i would recommend is bird bowl (bowling alley) the lanes are competition styled and oiled to perfection. The food is great and the drinks are even better. They also have billiards if you want to play a game of pool. Regal cinemas would be a great place for those who are interested in watching the latest movies, grabbing some popcorn and chicken nachos is always my go to whenever I decide to hit the movie theatre.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First and foremost HUGE SHOUT OUT to the man upstairs for carrying me through. I would also give myself a shoutout for still pushing through and never giving up although there were plenty of times I was ready to call it quits. Shoutout to my support system my mom, my grandma, my siblings, my assistant, my close friends and most importantly shoutout to my community for trusting in me to deliver my services each and every time.
