The boundaries you place in your business will depend on where you are in your business.

In your new years of your business, you are hustling and building your portfolio, and when you're years into your business you can learn what's important to you to safeguard.

Boundaries don't have to lock you inside. Even when you have boundaries in place, you can still determine when to cross those boundaries. But it's you making a chose instead of just acting without boundaries.

Life happens - You need to have boundaries in place to be able to be there when life happens, instead of overwhelmed with work.

You can set boundaries on when and where you schedule your jobs.
Days of the week, hours of the day, and even entire months you want to be free from work.

Setting office hours will give you freedom to give all your focus to work during work hours, and all your focus on life, family, and hobbies when you are outside of those work hours.

Having business hours set also sets expectations about when your clients, potential clients, and even vendors should expect to hear back from you. 

If you want to reply to an email at 11pm, go for it. But they won't expect you to reply until the beginning of your office hours.

You can set boundaries on how often you meet in person, or if you even do.

Set boundaries on who you want to work with. Anyone who doesn't align with that, you can refer them to another photographer, which builds that relationship with them.
