Is this Really for ME?

I don't want to do this forever. That was stated in previous blogs (are they posted or just drafts?!) 

The last few weeks I have been thinking a lot about what kind of photography I want to do. It's not that I don't like photography by all means, I would much rather do photography and edit photos than to go to a retail job anytime! -  I am definitely looking into a lot of changes....big changes....such as not actively looking to get clients unless they come to me (and yes, that includes possible deletion of my facebook page.) I have a vision of how I want to do photography.

Why? This is because I simply want to practice - a lot - and get better at many things and learn things I don't know how to do and whatnot. Which obviously comes with experience but also, from learning and taking courses. I am definitely going to be actively looking into getting into some kind of training or ways of getting better and PRACTICING. So be prepared for a lot of free shoots?

I also think I need to specialize in something. Everyone who starts out, I find, takes all the clients they can get....there are so many photographers who specialize in everything (which is a good thing because everyone needs to find out what the prefer) but I really want to focus on one thing (eventually that will be just destination/travel/around the world) but for right now, I am thinking more on the couples/singles/boudoir and other adult shoots.

This is probably because I don't have kids so I am not really very good at "controlling" them, getting them to pose, relaxing them or making them feel comfortable. I have never really been around them in my life so that is understandable and its not that I don't want to learn, its that I find photography much more fun when it's a single or couple. I am sure former clients can tell my inexperience with kids (not in a bad way). 


I will definitely be taking special requests and possibly be doing kids and families and newborns and whatnot upon hire....but again, I am going to be looking for a more model base right now....so let me know if you're interested!
