I took a leap and ran with another passion of mine and started offering my photography skills to the public, and by skills, I mean self taught with a passion to preserve memories at a price people could afford. When my nephew told me the quotes he got for senior pictures I almost fell to the ground, it was almost $300! That's insane!! So, I offered to do his for free and for the practice, which lead to 2 senior sessions in October. I've also done a wedding and I have a family portrait session tomorrow, and I only charge $50 for a 2 hour session with editing and a free Facebook cover.
This whole process has been more fun than I ever expected and I love the creative part, editing!
This is Katy, my session from last weekend, this girl should be a model, she is stunning! The camera loved her and I'm thrilled with the end result, so was she. That makes me happy, knowing I can keep this memory alive for them, forever!
I'm not getting rich at this nor can I quit my day job, but I'm rich in learning a new trade and making friends along the way, mixed in with memories well preserved! Look me up on Facebook and like my page: Shots by Sue where I also sell my prints. Once I hit 100 likes, I'll be drawing for a free print of your choice.
Exciting news and what a talent Sue!!

Hello Sue, Well first thanks for joining the Apron giveaway, I am not so sure this is my cup of tea, as I want to give an apron to everyone :)
ReplyDeleteI will send you an email, as I have it, to let you know if you win!
I hope you do!
I am so happy for this new adventure you're embarking on...
I have a nice camera, but I am not very well trained in using it.
Blessings, Roxy
Good for you, Sue. MB
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful new hobby, and you will do well, no doubt. My favorite is the bottom one. Very artistic. One of my sons and 2 of my daughters are photographers. My son has gone to film school, but does a lot of photography work similar to what you are doing. It is very rewarding.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog; I appreciate your comments.
