I am so excited about launching this photography business! I am spending ridiculous amounts of time going to other photographer websites to get ideas about what I do and don't want to include in mine. And then there's the time spent in Photoshop trying to design a logo. I've registered my domain name and gotten it linked to the host site and have set up a custom e-mail account, and purchased a book about HTML and CSS so that I can hopefully design my website myself rather than having to pay someone else to do it for me. I've spent countless hours researching cameras and lenses and figuring out what do I
have to have to get started and weeding out those things that I'd
like to have but that can wait until I'm making some income. My gear has been ordered and should all be starting to arrive by the end of this week! Oh, and I have my first newborn client--Olivia's teacher. I've offered to photograph her baby for free in exchange for allowing me to use any good pictures I happen to take in my portfolio. So excited to see where this career will take me and my family, and having a hard time waiting for it to start already!

It feels like da-javu (sp?) for me to read all you have done so far to prepare the first stages of your business, except that you are doing it all yourself, while dad and Beth were my seed planting, faithful design and "tech" team for Hydrated With Love. And I could not have done any of it without them nor the One Who planted the idea first in them, then me. I don't believe procrastination is your problem at all. I do believe the motivation and "zeal" you are experiencing is coming from the same Source that inspired me....With that in mind, it will succeed as long as you go Godspeed...Love and blessings,Mom
Second subject: a cute one year old you will be visiting next weekend? :)
I would *love* to do a photo shoot for my adorable little nieces! I'll still be learning my camera, but I'll offer you the same deal--free sitting, you can have anything that turns out on a CD or you can order it from my pro-lab. BUT you have to sign a "model release" to let me put those cutie-patooties on my website... :)
