To learn is to acquire knowledge or skill. Learning also may involve a change in attitude or behavior. Through this one should educate themselves, while acquiring and applying the skills learned. One should never give up on trying something, because they have been told they can't.
Today I have come to the conclusion that if I want my business to move forward, I have to be the one to move it. So here goes. I have assessed my growth thus far and through my assessment I am not where I was six months ago and I plan to be a bit further six months from today, no matter what it takes to get me there.
After completing my first wedding, I was in AWE about what I had accomplished it was done totally by me with no help. Even though I was a limited in my equipment the bride loved her images and so did at least l00 of the 200 quest that was there. I say at least 100 of the 200 because 100 emails were collected from her quest viewing her pictures and returning to view them over and over again.
Since then I have been thinking about shooting weddings and well guess what? I am! Some might say I am not ready, Some might say I am not good enough, Some might say I don't have what it takes to be a wedding photographer, but hey it is what it is! for everyone that says I'm not there is someone who says I am. I believe that God places people in your life for different reasons and I had been praying to God and asking him to send a wedding my way and as a matter-of-fact he sent two my way one was a combination of a baby shower and wedding and the other was a large traditional wedding. He answered my prayers. Thank you Lord, because you gave me what I asked for and more. Though all of this came about, because someone had been watching me in the background silently. I believe that God works in mysterious ways.
So for me, I think the only way for me to get better at it is to do it. I have read tons about the subject, obtained the necessary equipment and now it's time for me to implement what I have learned. Hey if I don't practice how will I get better. As my husband would say Rome wasn't built in a day, and I know that I won't be perfect overnight.
I think I have it and one day I'm going to be well known as a wonderful Wedding Photographer. So until then I plan to start booking weddings for 2011 as of Now:) This will be my first attempt to move my business in a new direction. Soooo, with that being said The first few brides to book a wedding with me it will be well worth the investment.
Cheers to the New Year
