I'm the type of person that once I set my mind to something, get out of the way. If I'm presented a chance, I jump. Well, I just jumped and as of right now I will be falling for a many months before I land. Guess that's why it's called a risk.
I have a goal, sometimes life, house, laundry, awesome kids, and time to get your hair-highlighted can become obstacles to reach goals in a timely manner. What is my goal you ask, to be solely a wedding photographer. It has been a goal since day one of playing around with a camera and thinking, pretty much out of the blue, I wanna be a photographer, a wedding photographer.
The sounds of a wedding day, the decor, the shoes, the sights and smells of colorful flowers, the sparkly things dangling from the reception table tops, the emotions of the controlled chaos of weddings is where I feel I belong. So, I'm going for it, I want it, I want my photos in the magazines. I had the privilege of working with another photographer years back, a wedding we photographed was featured in a magazine, some photos are mine that I took, I want to feel that again.
I love to build relationships with brides and I enjoy being around them on their special day, only a few months back they were a stranger and now the entrust in me to document their wedding day. They know that it's important to me that they experience their day and that's part of my job...to let them experience their day. Wedding are just my niche.
My new web site is being built around weddings. Fear not my clients I will still be photographing my sweet families and my cool seniors for the time being, I still love that, I just need to focus on one thing for my family and my brides. It's like doctors, you have your ear nose and throat doctor, your heart doctor and your foot doctor, they choose to specialize in one area. That's what I'm doing..specializing as a wedding photographer. I'm will not lie it's scary for me to do this but if I don't start somewhere, I will never reach my goal.
I write this post not only to encourage someone to take a risk and shoot for their dreams, but for myself as documentation of the day I jumped.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can, Begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it, Begin it now.
