I was really worried about not taking any pictures for so long but still wasn't feeling motivated. But i knew my sister was coming in town and we had been planning a mini photo shoot for then. I knew i had to get going and practice before she came so i wasn't rusty. So I jumped off of the couch, grabbed my camera, and started taking pictures of anything i could find (which happened to be a whisk) i took a bunch of pictures and then i felt satisfied knowing that i still had my creativity. Then i took pics of my sister and they turned out really good. I was kind of proud of them. Then two days later i took pictures of james' new baby. I was super nervous because i had never taken pictures of a baby before, but they turned out a lot better then i had ever dreamed! They weren't perfect but they were pretty dang good. I was really excited that i did two photo shoots in a row and that they both went well. So i think it is time to move on to the next step, i am going to buy a website and take a lot of pictures for people to 'portfolio build'. But i am really scared for a couple reasons:1: creating a business (which is what i eventually want to do) is very difficult, especially in photography. There are a ton of "photographers" who have businesses and charge people hundreds of dollars to take pictures and they are not that good. They think because they have a good camera and photoshop that they are a photographer and can charge people. But they suck!! I don't want to be one of those people, i don't want to jump too soon and think that i am ready when i am not.

2: I'm nervous about people not liking m

y pictures. Or worse if i work really hard on a shoot and the pictures turn out horrible!

I posted a couple pictures on Facebook and since then i have had several people ask me to take their family pictures, including a stranger. So i am going to do them and see how it goes. . .wish me luck, and have a look at a couple of the pics i took last weekend...
