Made it Halfway Through the Year
Wow am I accident prone! No, I won't bore you with the details of my other injuries that I have sustained in the past 6 months. The important thing is that I have not allowed it to stop me. It may not surprise you to know that I have the flu as I am writing this. As I have said, I will not allow this to stop me.
My life can be a telenovela! I actually hate drama you know. Maybe that’s why I prefer to photograph inanimate objects versus people. Don't get me wrong, I love my portrait clients but things can't be picky. Between people and injuries I have enough drama in my life.
This has actually, so far (knock on wood, cross your fingers, eyes, and toes…I don't want to jinx it), been a pretty darn good year! My mother and I are getting along great, my hubby and I are getting along, even my kids and I are getting along (knock on wood). Work is heading in the direction I want, I've been photographing homes for MLS listings! I am in the inner circle with my affiliate Photography Studio (YAY!!). Somebody pinch me, I must be dreaming!
I have always had a love for architectural photography. Photographing homes for sale is just a step for me. Really I would love to photograph for an architectural firm. Someday I hope and wish and pray that this will happen. For now, I will enjoy photographing homes for the MLS.
There is a photography studio that I am affiliated with. They are actually part of a larger network. I started out creating vlogs for them. Now, I am handling some of their social media and play a large part in decision making. This is really exciting as it allows me to help shape the future of photography. Since this is my own personal area to write I will give them their anonymity.
As I look back at the first part of the year there were ups and downs. Good and bad times. A slew of emotions, almost like a typhoon at times. The important thing is that I made it! None of it has stopped me from pushing forward and continuing my successful journey. I admit, there were times when I wondered if things would get better and guess what? They did! So my point is, no matter how hard or trying things may seem to be, keeping in mind that things can only get better helps. So when you find yourself in a rut tell yourself that things can only get better. Say it at least three times and guess what? They will!
