Oh my holy poopsicles, I just love love effing love my job. I'm a photographer (not like magazine model photographer, more like family and wedding photographer), and it is just so amazing. I get to do what I love every day (literally, I take a picture at least once a day, check it out), and I don't have to be professional. Like not much at all. I try to maintain a baseline amount of professionalism, of course, but I really get to be myself and screw around. I get artistic and creative freedom, I have no boss, I learn TONS about my craft daily, and I do it all from home with my wild beast children running around in the background. As I am typing this they are being quiet, meaning they are probably drawing things on the baby's face.
I just had to submit an ad for the program of the wedding expo I am doing soon, and at the end of it I decided that I needed to let them know just what a whackadoo I am. So I sang to my ad rep. Through the email, of course, but I definitely let it all go for her. Here is a screen shot of it just so you can experience the awesomeness.
So yeah, right after I sent it I realized that this is a professional woman I am corresponding with. For my business. That I actually make money at. That I earn respect doing. I rock a faux hawk, have my lip pierced and get to make people fall in love with me when I make them and their family look amazing. I get to really see people, look straight into their souls through my lens, and capture their true emotions. I am there for the most important parts of their lives - marriages, engagements, and babies. My life is so great, and I am really appreciating that today. Because today instead of editing photos (which I really should be doing) I built templates. Amazing templates that other people don't even know how to do. I am really thinking about selling them, like I don't have enough going on, but dang, it's not every day that you realize you have a new and marketable skill. Damn! Amazazazazazing!
