Varying speeds of photons

The current theories of relativity assume that space is an empty void.
Let us test the ideas considering that such is true. Suppose I were in
a spaceship between stationary space stations A and B (in relation to
one another). Suppose that I took off from station A and were moving
toward station B. Imagine also that I was emitting a laser beam of a
specific frequency to A and B and that I was recieving the same from
both stations. Now, consistent with the idea that the beams of light
consist of photons, we will deal only with the idea of particles
traveling through empty space. The point is, for me to measure the
speed of photons from any direction to always be c, would not my
measurement of time (faster or slower in relation to another) vary in
order to compensate for what would otherwise be a discrepency with the
postulate that the speed of any photon never varies?
Think about this... suppose I am moving toward station B from A. For me
to not add any more speed to photons that I am moving toward, my time
would have to be faster (with regard to the frame of reference (A and
B)) for me to measure c (supposedly a constant). But what about photons
coming from station A which I am receding? The rate at which my seconds
tick would then have to be slower to keep c at about 300,000 KM/s for
me. My time would have to be slower when I measure the speed of light I
emit toward B and faster when I measure the ones emitted toward me from
B and vice-versa when considering the beams between me and station A.
Something does not add up.
