Great Progress

I wake up every morning with a fresh outlook, determined to book a wedding. The day goes by, and not even so much as an email. Do I get discouraged?

If I got discouraged, then this new business would fail. I say to myself..."There's always tomorrow."

Your talking to someone who doesnt give up easily...well...not at all actually. Heres a little story for you to read....do you have your popcorn ready?

After a VERY exhausting, and miserable 4 year relationship with someone 12 years older than me, with 2 kids that were 5 years younger than me;

No bullshit crap.

I decided that I needed to get out, and make a change. What did I do? I hoped on a bus for Florida, leaving everything I knew and loved and headed into the unknown to start over. My family is still in Texas, and at the time I had no family here, no friends here, and no place to stay when I got here.

...but I made it.

I made it with pure determination, will, passion, and...a damn lot of praying!

I officially launched the new site on February 11th. Since then I have booked 9 weddings...9 weddings in 90 days.

I had no idea the niche that was waiting, and had no idea how fast I would grow. I am not going to explain how I did it. I'll just say that the internet is free gold, and if you just read the above...then you have a pretty good idea what it takes.

The drive gets stronger everyday, which makes it hard to concentrate on whats most important right now...Max. I am trying so hard so Max will not have a hard life.

This business will be prospering by September. I will achieve in 9 months, what usually takes 2-3 years.

...sorry folks...I promise to never make you read a lot without any photos. After all, I cant buy a book without pictures!

Ahhh...the life of a newbie wedding photographer!
