Well after quite the year I've had, I have been reflecting on what I want to do when I grow up. It's actually something I have thought about for a while now and I seem to always go back to this. I have decided I want to continue my education learning photography and persue this business :) I am very excited about this. I absolutely LOVE taking pictures, playing with photoshop and making people happy with the pictures I have taken for them! I am quite excited to take 2 classes through UWM starting this January. First is a detailed class on using my camera better. I usually get close to the right settings but I don't always understand why I am setting the camera the way I am. The second one is a portrait class which is what I love taking. I heard it a good idea to specialize in one aspect and I am thinking maternity, newborn and children. Not that I wouldn't do anything but I think those are the areas I want to focus on! :) I would LOVE LOVE LOVE at some point to be able to create enough business to do this fulltime but that wouldn't be for quite a while - although I do have 4 sessions scheduled over the next month or so.
Now time to start saving for a better camera, lighting, backdrops, a better computer, props...anyone wanting to invest into this business please just let me know! ;)
Here are a few pictures I wanted to share that I have taken over the last year or two. I have done photos for corporate events (Whitefish Bay BID group, the JCC, and Northwestern Mutual to name a few), family portraits, children, newborns, and senior photos. This is me just starting out and looking back, I am ready to keep learning and take better pics!
Ugh just spent 30 mins waiting for photos to upload....cancelled it and I will try again tomorrow when it's not 11pm!
