1. INTRO

Linda worked as a professional photographer in Boston for 25 years. She specialized in headshots and portfolios for actors and models. As much as she loved running her photography business, chronic neck pain from years of lifting heavy DSLR cameras and heavy equipment had taken its toll. She was told by a spinal specialist that it was time to put down the camera for good or she would soon be facing spinal surgery.

At the time that she was told to give up that career, the recession hit. In 2009 she closed the photography studio and went back to school for Interior Design, a lifelong passion. In 2011 she started her interior design business, Linda Holt Creative and a Design Blog called “Focus on Creativity”.
