I've been making up a lot of excuses for over a year now as to why My Dream would never work, or how I was being greedy to even think that my family would allow me to pursue my dream. Although I kept talking myself out of pursuing my photography full time I just couldn't shake the idea that, maybe just maybe, I could make it work. Why did I keep thinking about how my husband, kids and extended family & friends would be affected by my decision? Why wasn't I thinking more about how a positive job change in my life would greatly have a huge positive affect on my husband & family? I realized after lots of thought, how my happiness in life would be so beneficial for everyone around me. Not to mention that I would become a better mother, wife, friend and photographer if I made this change....
Who would have ever though that I would be trading in a nice paycheck for a happier life and less pay? ;)
So here I am.....making a change. Cheers to a Dream come true!
So how am I going to schedule myself when it comes to my business (Lindsay Foster Photography)?
Well, first off, my husband & kids are, and always will remain my number one priority. So, therefore, I will be scheduling in very few weekend shoots so that I never have to look back and realize how much of their lives I have missed out on.
However, this does NOT mean I will be taking on less. I want more! Lots more. Although I specialize in newborn, birth and child milestone photography, I would LOVE to explore it all (excluding weddings of course). My open hours (come summer) will be Monday, Wednesday and Fridays (9-4pm) with the occasional weekend for Family photoshoots and mentoring.
I have to add that I am astounded and so grateful for everyone's support. A compliment from my friends and fans are the biggest applause I could receive. You all are my fuel to keep going. I can be very critical of my work, so it's always nice when I can post a picture and get such wonderful feedback.
Now, more than anything I will continue to seek your support and positive thoughts. This is a HUGE deal for me.
From my family to yours Thank you!!!
