- Anyone who is interested in buying her photos can do so as soon as they want and not have to wait to hear back from Ana.
Fun Fact
While the Pottery Barn story is a good hook, Ana continues to diversify her side hustle to include a few different platforms. This provides her with the potential to increase her income and protect herself from changes on those platforms.
This work isn’t just about money for Ana, it’s also about freedom. She makes something that she loves. She gets paid for it and appreciated for it—her photography is hanging in people’s living rooms all over the country.
