WOW! What a year 2017 was! I am so blessed and so thankful for all of my clients, who I can now call my friends. Not too long ago, a mentor of mine told me that starting out as a photographer is hard work. It's not an overnight type of thing. It will take time, maybe even a few years, and you have to have a lot of patience. This is where most photographers give up. After a year or two of not booking clients, they put the camera down, and instead keep it as a hobby.
My business really took off in 2017. So much so that as of recently I have finally decided to take a leap of faith and pursue photography FULL TIME! Wooo! It's exhilarating and scary to have made this decision. I had to say goodbye to one opportunity that had a piece of my heart; in doing so it opened up the respect and love for photography that I truly owed myself.
Below you will see Part I of my 2017 recap. It's a three part series that I am putting together to reflect on my 2017 portfolio. Each part is a mix of weddings, engagement sessions, family sessions, senior sessions, and proposals. I'm so excited to start my journey as a full-time photographer in 2018! :)
Stay tuned for Parts II and III...
