Big Dreams

My very first blog on my journey to become a real bona fide wedding photographer.  One more giant step towards being a total grownup.  There are levels to becoming a grown up that I think most people subconsciously know.  You graduate college, establish a career, get married, buy a house, get a dog (or a cat for all you feline lovers out there) and lastly, have kids.  Not every person does every step and I definitely did some of mine out of order but nonetheless, these are all major milestones on your road into adulthood.  In my opinion, once you have kids, you are officially an adult because someone has to be in charge.  I may just have to hold out on that last one for a few more years.

What a roller coaster of emotions these past few weeks have been.  Am I scared?  Out of my mind.  Stressed?  Of course!  Tired?  I literally fell asleep while starring at the computer screen the other day.  But really, it’s all part of the process and I would not trade in any of it because it’s showing me what I’m truly made of.  I know that with hard work, determination, faith and talent, I will make it.  Because really, failure is not an option.  Seriously.  I want this.  When I want something so badly, I do everything in my power not to fail.  Even in high school when I knew I was doomed by somehow getting placed in an honors physics class where everything made little to no sense and I couldn’t tell up from down, I still managed to pull out a passing grade.  That was an accomplishment, let me tell you.  I got a C+ but it felt like an A because I worked my butt off for it.  I may not remember a single thing that I learned in that class but it taught me to keep trying no matter how hard something may be.  It’s just something that my parents instilled in me growing up, to always do my best and never give up.

So that’s my plan…to always do my best and never give up.  Taking all that love and passion and turning my dreams into a reality, one day at a time.
