The beginning of March started off a little rocky. A couple unexpected things happened, but after the dust settled, life began to turn out for the better.
I started the month off with an interview that I was praying I would nail. It was for a job that I forgot I had a passion for, which is taking pictures. I was told I would either hear from her by Friday or not at all. The next day my phone rang and I was overwhelmed with joy and excitement. So much so that the night before I was supposed to go in for my first day I made myself sick from nervousness. I don't know why I was so nervous though, my first day went off without a hitch and I met some pretty fantastic ladies. The other girls that were hired along with myself are super nice as well.
I am so thankful that this opportunity has presented itself at the time that it did. Not only am I doing what I love, but I also get to help bring money into the home. With my husband getting out of the military shortly, this extra income will help us save up. Not to mention, I get to get out of the house for a few hours a day.
Yesterday was, what I thought, the best day ever. I got to shoot two Smash Cake sessions for two adorable babies who were turning 1 year old. They were both adorable and their cakes looked yummy. I loved seeing their faces, fingers, and toes covered in cake. Plus, the joy on their parents faces when they were looking at the photos I took made it that much better.
However, today was better and I will tell you why. Like every other trainee, I got to do shoots all day with the help of the other core photographers helping me pose and light. BUT, toward the end of my shift the other ladies were busy and we got a walk-in, and guess who got to shoot the session solo? ME!! It was so much fun. I got to pose, light and shoot the whole thing all by myself. The guests loved the photos so much, they bought the biggest bundle and some extras. After they were finished my boss called me over to look through the photos and she loved them too. She also said that I was the first trainee to do a solo session. YAY ME!!
Plus, in a couple weeks Little Man is going to be turning 9. WOW! Where did the time go? He has grown up so fast I cannot believe it. We still don't know if we are having a party, or just a family day. Maybe we will take him to Chuck E Cheese, or maybe even get pictures done... Muahaha.. Who knows.
I cannot tell you how much our lives have turned around for the better. I was very scared that things would not get any better and that we would be stuck in a rut that would be impossible to get out of. I love our lives right now and I am so excited for this ride to continue.
What is something exciting that is going on in your life? I would love to hear about it. Leave a comment below!
