MY BUSINESS is 3 years old and I can’t even believe it! Pinch me - I’m dreaming!!! It’s the only thing I have ever had that has been all mine. My little seed I grew from day one. 🪴
I’ll never forget the day I told my husband “I’m starting a photography business”. He looked at me like I was crazy and didn’t take me seriously. I didn’t blame him, I’ve had a lot of ideas and never really followed through, but this was different. Something in my gut told me to go for it! A few days later, the Amazon man delivered a new camera and some gear (that was easy) and then it was up to me to figure it all out!
Thankfully my nieces and nephews modeled for me, I spent hours online learning all the things, and I put one foot in front of the other. 👣
Did I suck? Yep. Did I cry? Absolutely. (A lot) Did I do lots of things wrong? Of course.
But, I also did some things right. I kept going. I never gave up. I kept learning. I gave myself grace. My family and friends kept paying me as I got better. (Thankfully! 🙌🏼) I went all in on myself. I didn’t let the mean girl voices in my head take over. As Dory said “just keep swimming”. 🐠
Here I am three years later. Three years that flew by. I met amazing people. I made memories with people I will cherish. I learned that my time is valuable and what shoots bring me joy (and which ones don’t😉)! There is something empowering about making my own schedule and some extra money isn’t too shabby either. 💸
This is your sign to go all in on yourself. To start before you are ready. To do something just for YOU - regardless of your age, ability, what anyone thinks, or if your friends or spouse doubts you. JUST FREAKING DO IT!!!! 🏃🏼♀️➡️
