I'm so blessed to be able to practice an art that I love, I'm blessed that I don't have to do this to keep my family afloat, I do this because I love it and I'm so thankful to my husband who supports me 200%, watching the kids, even going on shoots with me to assist. Ok here I go a few reasons why this is a great job -
1. So cliche, but you really get to capture emotion and love it's an amazing process.
2. I can create art for my home any time I want!
3. It's relaxing (at least for me) I think of nothing else when I'm on a shoot. I'm 100% immersed when I'm on a shoot and it's a great escape from mommy hood.
4. Make that money - ok really I spent 10 years in corporate sales, it's not about the money it's about doing a good job and people paying for your services… it feels soooo good. I would literally do it for free if people paid me in hugs and praise. I love this stuff.
5. I have the best camera and equipment. I can take the best pictures of my kids, my profits are always going towards new equipment and as a result I get the best pictures on the soccer field. Whahoo!
6. I find beauty in details so much more. I'm always looking at the sunset, the light, the flowers, the backgrounds, the expression on someones face the way they are posed. This is a little deep but I read Echkhart Tolles book (sp?) a few years ago, he talked about studying an orange for what it is, appreciate the bumps and colors and you will find peace in what it is… kind of like that. In other words, get out of your own cloudy head!
Thanks for listening to my rant!
