for all you...

For all you aspiring photographers out there. 

Or really entrepreneurs in general. 

Its tough work. 

I haven't even gotten down into the nitty gritty of it all. 

But already my head is spinning!

Gotta do this, gotta do that. 

Should probably do that, 

definitely need to do that. 

not enough time in the day! 

But mostly I think the most frustrating thing for me, as of right now, 

is finding the look. 

THAT look. 

All you photographers know what I'm talking about. 

We all have a certain and unique look to our photos that make each of us unique. 

A different style. 

A consistent style because people like consistency. 

As I get more and more busy, 

I start to panic because I don't want to give people pictures that aren't consistent with the ones that they found that they liked, hence the reason they contacted me. 

But all I want is for them to be GOOD. 

To be great.

To perfect all the little things that make the images stand out.

I have HUGE dreams when it comes to photography, 

and thats all that they are right now. 

I get nervous when I think about the next year that comes as I try to make this my one and only source of income. 

Yikes. 

Lots and lots of practice ahead of me. 

Lots of practice and lots of faith that it'll work out how I want it!

But thats the big leap when it comes to entrepreneurs. 

You take the steps that nobody really else is willing to, in order to make something great. 

Could I have stayed in school?

Yeah probably.

Would it have been more beneficial in the long run?

Yeah maybe. 

Do I regret not going back?

Sometimes yes. 

But I'm not sure that it was the direction for me, 

and if I find down the road that it was, good thing its always there!

But I love what I do and I know if I stick with it as much as I say I am going to, that things will turn out how they are supposed to. 

I'll find THAT look that will make my ultimate plans follow through. 

And photography isn't even that significant, I mean its not a necessity.  Pictures are just pictures!  I'm not saving lives or anything. But I've always thought that if you love something big enough and you see the light and happiness in people's eyes with what you give, 

then it is significant. 

I am constantly grateful for the people that encourage me to continue forward with it, 

those that recommend me to others and give me feedback,

and those that trust me with their memories.
