Linda Sirmans of Raleigh, North Carolina is the owner of our newest Spoiled Rotten Photography franchise. Linda saw information about the Spoiled Rotten Photography opportunity in Franchise Business Review. Spoiled Rotten Photography, being ranked as a Top Franchise for Women and also as a Top Franchise Under $50K, caught her attention. As she learned more about us, she saw that our current franchise owners gave SRP outstanding ratings. “I was looking at other franchises and none of the others came anywhere close to what I found with SRP,” recalls Linda. Little did she know it, but Linda was becoming PURPLE! Linda also appreciates the support of the franchise family she has found within Spoiled Rotten Photography. Linda commented, “It really has been a village of people giving me what I needed at exactly the right time.”
Since the global pandemic of 2020, Americans have reshaped their vision of what careers and professions look like. As the pandemic ended, America’s 9 to 5 workforce realized what they had been missing. Striving to have a flexible schedule and work-life balance rates as the number one reason for voluntary job change in 2022. Linda was feeling the pull of making her passion for photography her full-time profession and desiring to leave a ho-hum technology career. She had dabbled in searching for a photography franchise, but during a company restructure, followed by subsequent layoffs, the pull she felt became a push. Linda says, “I realized that I was at a pivotal moment in my life and career to make this happen and had many different experiences that served as stepping stones to take on this opportunity.”
Cary, North Carolina
As Linda begins her first season of purple, she is looking forward to capturing the smiles of babies and toddlers in the preschools of Cary and Raleigh, North Carolina. She is also looking forward to the seasonal schedule flexibility that SRP franchise ownership will give her. Linda will be spending time with her adult children and extended family along with scheduling summer vacations.
Purple Team Player
A week after returning home from new owner training in Huntsville, AL, Linda had the opportunity to meet ALL the SRP franchise owners at conference in Orlando. Linda jumped right into the family and quickly made new friendships. She has been soaking up operations knowledge from her purple fellow franchise owners, even visiting a few to watch them in operation. Linda is already a team player and is often the first to help others when a need arises!
Linda has become purple and is living and breathing the Spoiled Rotten Photography culture!
