I’ve decided to expand my photography hobby into a possible career.

Pipe dream, right?

Possibly.

Trust me, simply declaring this on the blog is a huge leap of faith for me. I’m not one to flippantly take on a huge undertaking. I have pondered, experimented, studied, sought out criticism, doubted, soul-searched, and finally resolved to take on this adventure. Those of you who have known me most or all of my life know that I thrive on creativity. I’ve just always lacked ambition to take it to the next level. However, I’ve gotten enough practice these past six months to know where I stand as far as a capacity to learn and grow. I also have enough skill in post processing to skip that long and very arduous step. For the time being, I’m going to seek out people to practice on and try to find my niche, whether that be child, newborn, maternity, wedding, portrait or all of the above (Lord, help me). I don’t see myself becoming a successful business overnight; I want to take my time, learning as efficiently as I can all of the technical aspects of the craft as well as establishing my own style.

Because this is a whole other entity, I will not be posting my pictures on here except personal ones. I will, however, add my flickr page to the links section. That way, those who are interested in my journey can see all my latest work (At least the ones I have permission to post).

If you want to pray for this new endeavor, please pray that if it is the Lord’s will for this “pipe dream” to materialize, I will find wisdom to manage this responsibly, and not become discouraged (which I all too easily do) and also that He will give me opportunities to grow as a photographer.
