Creating Casey: Short and Sweet, where may life take me?

I've now got a computer again so a lot more blogs should be coming your way!

A lot of the time I spend thinking "What am I going to do with my life?" I never went to college, and I don't really want to go, so my options for a career that will make me happy are limited. I mean don't get me wrong I LOVE being a stay at home mom, but I feel like I need to do something for me. Why not make a little money for something I enjoy doing? I mean I have my "business" but it's not really booming, which I'm sure will pick up since it's fall/winter. But what about the rest of the year? Even with crocheting I'm still at home where my kids are driving me nuts.

So I thought a little bit, I prayed a little bit. Then it hit me. I'm going to try my hand at photography. Come this income tax season I'm going to get myself a nice camera, and some photo edititng software. I figure for the first 6-12 months I'm not going to charge, I just want to get enough experience under my belt, and build a portfolio. Get all kinds of photo shoots in. Infant, kids, birthday, anniversary, wedding, engagement, pregnancy. You name it, I want to capture it on camera. Maybe in a few years do some freelance work. Ultimately open a studio. Ohhh it's my new dream. I did want to be a doula, but the area I live in I just couldn't make a living. I want to be affordable too, and work with people. It's so hard to find photographers who are AFFORDABLE (not cheap) that don't just give you a run of the mill session and experience. Not knocking my photographer friends AT ALL! You are all fabulous, I even have a friend who has a nice camera that take my kids pictures for free. Sometimes it's just hard to get together though. But this way I get to chose the times for my kids and how many I get. I could get a hundred beautiful pictures of my babies, and it's still not enough to me. (I know selfish right?)

I don't know, does my new dream sound silly? I feel like this could be a good creative outlet for me.

If any of you photographers out there know of any good cameras to start with please comment below! And photo editing software!

I know this blog says "Short and Sweet" sorry!
