I'm at the starting line for the rest of my life

Well another few weeks have passed and I have yet to write a new entry. SO much has happened that I suppose I should get caught up!

This Friday is my last day at Lawn Pro (thank GOD!) meaning that Saturday will be my first day of Self/UnEmployment! I call it that half way joking and half way too seriously. . .I'm TERRIFIED that I won't be able to book enough shoots to counterbalance having a day job. And don't get me wrong, I've been very thankful to have a job during these troubled economic times, but I feel like Lawn Pro was a dead end for me. No chance of promotion, and the hours were all backwards. Busy in the summer and slow in the winter, just like photography.

I'm very excited that I'm taking the plunge into self employment though.  It means that I will be spending a lot more time with Elliot all summer long! I love that little guy so much and he learns so much every day that I don't want to miss a single thing!

On a good note, over the Easter weekend I managed to book two more weddings! One in June and one in August, so that makes 5 weddings this year! For my first summer as full time photographer I think that's pretty good (at least I hope so)! That also means one more trip to Missouri this summer : ) YAY!

Speaking of Missouri, we leave a week from tomorrow to fly out for Tim's sister's wedding. I'm super excited and just as nervous! I'll be flying alone with an 20 month old, so if anyone has any advice for flying with a toddler it would be greatly appreciated!!!

So, now on to the philosophical part haha:
I feel like my life is about to begin, and it scares the hell out of me! For the first time in my life I'll be working completely on my own, for my self. . .making my own money. I'm so scared that I'm going to fail. This is my dream and I don't want to screw it up! I know I need to change a little to make this work. No more procrastination, no more anti social behavior. I need to be proactive! I need to focus and get my stuff DONE. And most of all, I need help. And I need words of wisdom, advice, and encouragement! So please please please don't let me fail at my dream!

My first wedding!

So it's been a while since I've posted and a lot has happened lately!
I photographed my first honest to goodness wedding on March 31st!
And when we got back from Kansas I photographed my friend's baby belly!
Here's some of what I've been working on!!! I hope you enjoy and I would love feedback!
