New Major

I've finally decided that I need to be only a Photo major- I'm having a hard time officially deciding: It's really tough to think I'l,l have to give up ballroom.... I still want to do it eventually, but it's taking me too long, and I can have a BFA in Photo in 3 full semesters. (after this one) That's a lot sooner than 2-3 years for ballroom. And if I get pregnant in the middle of doing dance, I'll have to basically stop. At least teams, and that is crucial to my degree. SO, Photo is it for now. I think I'll be glad once I'm done. Photo is something I love, I can do it pregnant and from home so I can stay with the kids eventually. I can even take pictures of ballroom- I think I want to take artsy pics of couples. Being a photo major will be hard- there is so much I don't know, and even though everyone keeps telling me that I'm good: I want to be even better. And I want to master all the technicality of photography which is not something that is my forte, I'm way too right brained. But I'll do it, and it will be an excellent challenge. Plus my pictures will be even more amazing because I can understand how to fix my problems instead of making a random guess or trying to "save" something in photoshop. :)

You want to know what your problem is girl, I know what it is LOL...

You lack the confidence. Don't let anyone, ESPECIALLY yourself convince you that you can't do this or need special classes. You have a special talent and you need to use it! Take pictures of everything, and make time to create YOUR business. The classes will help here and there, but you have a knack for it. Go out and get some clients, advertise on your car or something. Just start!! And photography is an ART, that means that you can interpret it YOUR WAY. So make a portfolio of YOUR WAY, and let others see it, if they like it, then you have clients and you don't have to perfect ANYTHING because they like your way. As I told you on the phone, there are a TON of people that compliment the pictures that you have taken of me for my web site and they always ask who the photographer is. You already have all you need.

Welcome!

I just want to let you know how excited I am to finally have my own photography business. I love the art of the camera- mostly because it allows me to share beautiful moments with many types of people. Did you know that "Photography" literally means "to write with light"? When I am photographing I feel like I am writing your story with pictures. Memories bring with them a feeling, and my goal is to capture the feelings of your wedding, your pregnancy, your family, or whatever else you allow me experience for our photo shoot. That way when you look back at these pictures, that rush of emotion can come back to you. You can re-experience those moments that mean so much. That is one of the reasons why the name of my business is "Pearl" Photography, because your life is unique and sometimes the best moments in your life take time to create (like your wedding) thus making them that much more special.
