I'm sort of struggling right now because I have felt for a long time that I don't have the support that I need to start and maintain a business. However, I've just decided that this is something I have and want to do.
I am completely passionate about photography. All of my passion lies in the arts. I am a sucker for music, books, art, photography, cinematography, dance, etc. If it's artsy...I will probably like it and be a sap for it. There's something about self-expression that really speaks to me and I just want to be there to not only capture special moments in people's lives, but to create works of art. I know there are some people out there who feel that photography isn't art, but I feel like any form of self-expression is art.
There is feeling that goes into my work. Sometimes I sigh & moan over things I don't want to do and we do it because we have to (i.e. shooting football games) but even then I find myself getting into the games and loving the images that I capture.
I used to want to work for National Geographi or travel as a war correspondent but I really hate roughing it. I love the images, but I like the comforts of home. Plus, I really don't know if I could live without Chick-Fil A and Taco Bueno. I probably am that shallow. Maybe one day...but for now I will have to fulfil my passions with creating fairies, lonely maidens and capturing toddling baby steps. :)
With all of that said I have been hard at work the last few days on the website and creating pricing guides and thinking about business cards, etc etc...
Here is a tiny sneak peak at some info to come:
Session Fee: $225 (includes $100 print credit)

I am so excited for you and what is to come! Isn't there something exhilarating [terrifying] about taking that leap of faith and challenging yourself to follow your dreams?! We're young ... there's a lot of life left to live. And I just know you're going to make this work. DOWN WITH THE NAY-SAYERS! I can't wait for you to take my pics and make me into a modern fairy tale princess. (It's gonna take some serious touching-up, but my beauty is in your hands.) LOL. About to go check out the new website now ...
Oh, wait. Never mind. Website not up. Let me know when I can take a gander ...
I'll definitely have an 'unveiling' when the website is ready...probably by the end of next week. :)
