Baby steps, professionally

I bought a domain name tonight.

My husband is asleep and unaware. I did ask him if I could, though! He didn’t say no…

I have a photography domain name. Things are getting real now. Not that the photo shoots and CD covers weren’t already real! And the upcoming wedding this year isn’t real. They all are very real!

But with the purchase, I’m saying, “This is me. I’m a photographer. Here is what I do. Won’t you hire me?”

Well, okay, with this purchase I am on my way to saying that. I have to, you know, actually build a site and say that. But baby steps! Baby steps, people!

I’m excited! SO excited. Scared, too, but most excited. I’m on my way! Slow, but I’m on my way!

Yesterday, I had to fill my truck up with gas. As I was fueling, I had a young man walk up to me with a cigarillo in his mouth ask me if I had a lighter he could use. I stared at him and went, “Really?”

Ahhh… people.

I did my first new-baby family photoshoot this last week. I was pretty proud of what I got! There were a few shots I wish I’d take the time to take (and there were a few I was disappointed didn’t come out as well as I’d hoped) but I’m learning every day and with every shoot. Love these two, and look forward to more photos of the new little one as he grows!
