Sometimes in life you have to take a leap. It's ok if you're dreams seem really big and a bit scary, but we must always keep working towards them, a little bit at a time...remember this post?
Well one of my dreams is to be a legit photographer. I have loved taking pictures of anything and everything ever since I got my hands on my first camera as a present from my Grandpa and Grandma...my Grandpa is into photography himself and so he's always encouraged me to never stop taking pictures. My Mom still has stacks of pictures of the most random things I photographed back in the day.
I would love to offer my photo sessions at no cost until January 1st, 2013! This offer is for anyone! Email me for package info...
If you're a photographer yourself, I would love to second shoot with you! Email me with the details.
Have a cute little coffee shop that needs pictures for your website, facebook, etc?
In need of professional pictures of your products?
Have an adorable pet?
Want some rockstar Senior pictures?
(PS~ these were taken two years ago, with my kit lens and before I studied photography and how to use my camera...)
Musician with a show you want documented?
Kids birthday parties, maternity pictures, you and your love, capturing the first moments with your newborn baby, or even if you just want pictures of yourself...done, done, and done.
My email address is homeiswithyoublog (at) gmail (dot) com ...I can't wait to hear from you!
**Also, we'll be in Knoxville, Tennessee the last two weeks of December. So if you're in the area and are interested in setting something up during that time, make sure to get in touch with me! Our trip is already filling up fast.
Mallorie, this is so exciting!!! Maybe we can get together and do a shoot for my blog??? You are so talented and I am proud of you!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on taking such a huge step! Best wishes as you take on this new endeavour!
ReplyDeleteSO exciting! I was thinking of having someone take pictures for my shop, but too bad we are so far away :(
ReplyDeleteYou're so talented I wish I lived in Austin!
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing your doing this. You're following your dreams. I just took a leap and decided to just write my own blog. A small kind of thing compared to many. But terrifying none the less. What are people going to think of me. But I learned you can only be true to yourself. And that's what I am doing. I will grow with it like you will grow in photography. You have inspired me to take the risk and you'll be happier later down the road than regretting it when you don't and end up wishing you had. I wish I lived in Austin. Maybe a road trip would be appropriate? Haha!

I am so proud of you Mallorie!! I am not far ahead of you and I KNOW how scary AND exciting it can be!! Let me know if I can ever help you answer some questions or anything. I don't mind sharing the love, and I think there are more than enough clients to go around if we all utilize our personal networks and do our very best work!
ReplyDeleteI would advise against doing too many free sessions though. You will burn out, and people don't take your seriously if you don't charge at least a little. I did $100 sessions all summer, and I was surprised how often people would reschedule on me, back out at the last minute, etc, especially since I didn't require a date deposit. I thought it was very rude to devalue my time and efforts like that. Also, all the time you spend editing is SO worth charging at least $50-$100 a session. Photographers here in Austin charge crazy amounts for family sessions and prints, so the clients you work with will STILL be getting a crazy good deal, even if you charge a bit. And you won't start to resent the work, since you're making some $! :)
That last comment was me. :)
