As everyone knows by this point bc Iβm annoying this Wednesday me and Jenna from hosted a styled shoot. It was my first and in complete transparency I was TERRIFIED. For anyone but especially running your own business, failure is terrifying. Iβm by no means established in the photography community, scrap a gallery and start from scratch at least once a week bc I feel like my work is crap, and when we toured the venue and decided to make the event even bigger quite frankly I didnβt think I could pull it off. Two weeks after posting and we only had one ticket sale I almost called it off.
When crying to husband one night he said βthe worst that happens is you fail and learnβ and he said it like failing was NOTHING.
Continued working my tail off for it and we ended up having over 10 photographers attend on a weekday traveling from Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia with over 30 attendees including models and vendors and at the end of the night people were asking when the NEXT one was π±
Literally mind blown and so thankful for the support system I have, the friends I made, and my new styled shoot partner Jenna π
Moral of the story: if you have a dream, DO THE D #%^ THING, the worst thatβll happen is you fail and learn and try againπ
Also to top it all off this couple got ENGAGED there!
