Oh and By the Way

I started a blog for my photography. I finally decided to just take the plunge and make something of myself as much as I can. I'm not to worried about it because if people like what they see and are interested then they will make a point of using me. I put images that I've been taking on the blog for them to see my work. I've had people ask, but I've always uploaded my images to facebook and not everyone has a facebook account.
I also ordered business cards for those who are really interested. I don't think I will be doing weddings any time soon, but I am feeling pretty comfortable with portraits and family pictures, which is what I originally wanted to do. The problem is that I've noticed that a lot of my local friends and peers have been taking up photography as well and it almost feels like a competition. This motivates me to practice and become better, but it does instill a little bit of fear that I will never be good enough. For now, I will keep on snapping pictures and learn from my mistakes.

    Consider me a follower. I love your work! I am putting this blog on my link list. We might be down in California next year for graduation. If you're still there, I'd love to take you up on your photography skills for a family picture. I should have had you do it when we were there. I so regret that now.

    Your work is great Jacq! I have a lot of photographer friends as well (and like to dabble in it myself), but remember that every photographer has a different style and that is what will set you apart from others. I also have that fear because I have a lot of friends who make jewelry too but Shawna and I just try to be true to ourselves and if people like it, then great. :)

    Good luck!

    Thanks Kylie. It is true that people prefer certain styles. I'm trying hard to believe that it's worth my time and effort. so far, so good!
