[New Photo - New Logo]It seems that these days things are taking off in my world. I knew that my career as a photographer would be a slow buildup and eventually pick up speed and it seems that I'm finally getting to that point. I'm now trying to juggle having a real life, a full-time job, and my photography. Unfortunately, most of my time as a photographer is NOT spent in front of the camera, but behind a computer. The process of photo finishing is a long one, depending on the model and style that I'm going for in the post process ... but its very time consuming. Trying to fit time in for the gym, work, friends, birthdays, and of course, my Colorado Summer is exhausting already, and it's just begun.
However, I'm finally starting to make a bit of money with this photography gig so that's promising. I have no doubt that at this point, I will just get better and better, and as I'm able to purchase more equipment (mainly lighting!!!!) my photos will change drastically. Most of the photography that I've done up to this point has been with my 20D, my stock lens, and natural lighting and/or a desk lamp!
The possibilities are virtually endless.
This weekend I am shooting an adorable model Katie on Sunday at a studio. My first studio shoot. I'm very excited... the studio to me is like a new playground that I have yet to explore. I may love it, I may hate it...but either way I'm going to enjoy this experience !!!!
Everything I'm going through right now is a process - an evolution - into the photographer that I am hoping to become. If you believe in something enough it will happen right? Or so I keep telling myself. Sometimes I get lazy and unfocused, but right now I feel like I am on the ball and really truly making things happen FINALLY. I have some amazing shoots coming up, two costume / clothing designers on board, and amazing makeup artist / model / muse.....and another photographer that I'm networking with and learning from and vice versa.
It's exciting and nerve racking having no clue where my photography will end up. Should be an interesting journey that's for sure.
xoxo

I'm so excited for you. It really sounds like your photography career is taking off, and that's fucking fabulous. I, personally, think you deserve it. I have been more happy with the pictures I've seen of my shoot so far than I ever expected to be. Sure, you'll be super, ridiculous busy and exhausted, but in the end, I think it will be all worth it.
