Slowly getting this started!

OK- so it is Wednesday and I am still slowly getting this started! Getting my business established and off the ground is going to take a lot of hard work and it may be a stressful and difficult process! However, I am ready for it!! I have some friends that have made it clear that they are willing to help me, which is great! 

As of now... I have realized that I need a new camera!! This is discouraging only because I have a really nice and expensive camera right now! I will have to either sell the one I have... or keep it and then buy a new one!! Oh well, right? It's all apart of it! Luckily I have a friend that is going to help me pick out all of the right accessories that I will be needing to get the best shots!! 

I know what camera I am going to get... so now, its just about buying it! It may be a little while before I do that! On the flip side... I have been studying a lot of good material in that past two days so I am more and more ready each day! My friend has also said that he is willing to let me tag a long when he goes on some of his jobs... which is so exciting!! He is a great photographer and has been in business now for 2 years! I am really stoked to have someone to look up to and someone to help me through this! 

So... as we know this will be a journey that I am ready for, I DO have some upcoming shoots! With the camera I have now... that is nice... I have taken many beautiful photos! I have lots to start my portfolio with! Therefore, my next project for the week is to gather all of my photos I want to start with!



Not to mention, I have a friend that wants me to take some shots of her 2 year old daughter! This should be fun :)

Practice Makes Perfect!

I will be open and willing to practicing as much as possible! With that being said, I have talked to my best friend who is recently engaged and we decided that I am going to take some engagement photos! That's exciting, right? Not only that but I will be taking some shots of her and her 12 year old daughter! I am really excited to start taking photos in more of a "photo shoot" atmosphere. All of the photos I have taken so far have been at events or just family gatherings or weddings. Just kind of in the moment kind of pictures! But now... I am going to make it a point to focus a little more on a "photo shoot" kind of feel!

Anyways, I have a ton of ideas and what makes me crazy is that I just want everything to come together NOW! I have so much to figure out and a lot to learn... but I will get there! One day at a time!! :)

My first blog entry!

For the longest time now, I have had such a passion for photography! I absolutely LOVE taking pictures and I am quite good at catching the moment! I have been told numerous times by tons of people that I have a gift and that I should put it to use! You see, I have files among files on my lap top and CD's full of pictures that everyone wants! From family to friends, children to grandparents, animals to landscape, weddings to birthday parties! Anything - you name it! 


So, for a while now I have been saying that I want to start my own photography business! Today I woke up and decided that this week... is MY week! I am starting with a blog!! I will be posting my journey :) This week is the week that I am going to take all of the necessary steps to get my ball rolling in the right direction! This week is when I am going to get my photography business off of the ground!


K*Leigh*E Photography is what I will call it!! I am very excited and full of ideas and enthusiasm! Wish me luck because here I go!!
