November Thankfulness | Day Seven

SEVEN. Photographer/WAHM/SAHM

This whole photography career has been a take a dive feet first and just see where it goes. Hard concept for me since I am a TOTAL Type A, planner and goal completer! I have had days where I have completely doubted my decision to do photography full time. It has been going great, but there is so much responsibility and business savvy-ness that must go along with it. Other days, its like the heavens break free and the light shines and I spread my arms up and say "Ahhhhh, ahhhhhhh" (in my Bruce Almighty voice) Ultimately, though I love it. I love what I get to capture for people! I love all of my clients. I wouldnt be human if I painted you a picture of a perfect journey. It has not been a cakewalk.

It is hard work, VERY hard. I work more now than at my other Job! I dont get paid for everything I do, and I get so overwhelmed I could pull my hair out.

Overall, I am very thankful! Not only have I had an income, I get to be flexible with my children. I get to go to their parties completely guilt-free! I am one of those that hated missing a day of work, for fear I would miss something (ha, obviously) or that I would disappoint someone. There is something to be said about the freedom of making your own decisions! :)

If my kids are sick, I am able to be with them.
If it snows, I can stay in my PJ's.
Dinner is on the table 365, well, most days...(ha)
THANKFUL, Ya'll! Just plain thankful.
