Anna Pumer of Anna Pumer Photography and Kick Ass Photographers discovered photography when her boyfriend suggested she give the whole photography thing a try after seeing some of her travel photos. She attended a wedding photography workshop, quit her day job and started her business shortly after.
With her journalism and copywriting background, it didn't take long for Anna's website to start working to attract her perfect client… and don't they LOVE her!
Business has been booming for Anna ever since starting and I couldn't wait to learn a little more about what makes her tick and how in the world she can harbour any feelings of being a fraud… she's amazing!
Here’s some of what we cover:
