Kailey Bunch | Family & Lifestyle Photographer

I define success by what personally makes me happy in my own life. Not everyone’s idea of success is going to be the same. For some people its making tons of money and for others its something as simple as keeping their house clean every day. For me personally, I find success in how my children see me. If they have everything they need and they are demonstrating love and kindness then I feel like I have done my job in life. From a photography standpoint, I often feel success in making my clients truly happy. Read more>>

How do I define success. Success is NOT just when YOU make it. Success is NOt just when YOU are rich or when YOU are recognized for what you did. Success is WHEN you make it and you share the Knowledge, Money, Wisdom and Everything else you had to get there with others as well. You wasn’t Blessed to just say oh I did that. No you were Blessed to share it and help the next person, generation, etc. If you keep it all to yourself… to me that’s NOT success…..you just made it. Always reach back and Help others. Read more>>
