Hi all,
I have been very busy and drained lately and just haven't had the time to do any major blog updates. I login to this site like 10 times a day maybe more in order to check the groups, my mail, etc. So, I am still here!
It's really hard juggling everything. I have a very hectic life and I don't just have 1 career. I juggle a whole variety. I am having to work extra hard at the moment because I have stuff to pay off and I've also recently started a new business which is mobile pointe shoe fitting.
In regards to sets I have like 3 coming up from August on wards so stay tuned!
Many thanks to those of you who took the time to check out my latest set too. I really appreciate it.
There are staff photographers here I would love to shoot with but sadly I just don't have the funds to do so. When I first joined SG I really wanted to shoot a set with @miro but sadly it never happened mainly due to lack of funds but also the fact I was so incredibly excited I kind of got in abit of rush to do it. No idea why! So I shot my first set with a photographer friend of mine I work with often. In a way, I am glad I did shoot my first set quickly because it helped me gain alot of experience and valuable lessons on how to shoot a set for SG and get an incredible amount of helpful feedback from members on here :) so it was certainly a valuable lesson.
I am hoping my financial situation will improve at some point so I can then afford to pay for a staff photographer. Fingers crossed.
Also on the top of my agenda is to get a holiday. I really need to get away as I've had a tough year. My Mum is a seriously ill and we didn't think she would be allowed to fly ever again but they gave her the go ahead. So, I was feeling quite excited to get a holiday with her this year but it seems it won't be happening... The majority of airlines charge for oxygen and she also has to pay for oxygen at the hotel. It's really pricey and it just isn't looking likely now :( it's sad. I still want a holiday but I have nobody to go with. All my friends have their partners or they have families of their own or they are just too broke or don't want to save up. OR they would just rather get wasted every day on holiday which is NOT my idea of a holiday!
Being self employed is incredibly stressful sometimes. I do everything myself and it's really hard to find time for me or time for even a social life... I really hope things improve soon!
Sorry to bore you all.
