Anyone want to book a photo session? ?;)??

  • MAybe this is your chance to take pictures full time?!?!
  • yes, I am trying to look at this as a blessing in disguise. ?I have dreamed of doing photography fulltime one day so now is my chance!! ?

    My pathetic photography push: ?Nesties get a 20% discount on orders with me! ?;) ??

  • Oh my goodness!!  I am so sorry to hear this.  That is terrible!!

    But it is true that this could be the push you need to do photography full time! 

    I've been wanting to take some new pictures, and our wedding photographer has relocated to SC. So, you will definately be the first one I think of...if I can talk him into the session, that is. :)

  • That seriously sucks.  But maybe like PP said, maybe you can do photography FT.  I think you are talented enough to do it. 
  • I'm so very sorry, what a blow to hit just after Christmas. I think that it could be a blessing in disguise though because when one door closes another one is opened. Best of luck!!
  • OMG...I'm so sorry.  Give me a call if you feel like it.  I'll do anything I can to help.
  • thank you all so much! ?I really appreciate the support. ?:)
  • I am so sorry! This is a horrible time for a company to do that to someone. Like previously said, maybe this is a prime opportunity for you.  Your work is amazing and you could definitely be good at doing this full time...especially in the wedding industry.  I know you did the babypalooza event at the mall, but look into doing a booth at Cottontails at the BJCC in March, and the Southern Bridal Show in a couple of weeks and again in August (http://eliteevents.com/exhibitoropportunities.html).

  • Oh I am so sorry to hear that!  But like everyone else has said this could be your opportunity to do the thing that really makes you happy and are extremely talented at.

    I have been wanting to do some pics of me and DH....we haven't had any done since our wedding...two and a half years ago.  I'll talk to him because I think it would be awesome to have some new ones of us.  

  • There is also a bridal expo in Auburn on Jan 11.  You might be able to get in as a vendor.  http://www.oabride.com/

    There are not a lot of photographers in the Auburn-Opelika area, so it might be a good opportunity!

  • OMG, Steph, I am so sorry.  That's so crappy for a company to do this to someone this time of year. 

    Like all these ladies have said, maybe it's your time to shine and do photography full time.  I'm sure it'll all work out for you. 

  • Stephanie--I am SO sorry. We have had a few friends lose their jobs as well over the past few months. It really stinks that they give you no warning, especially this time of year. We would love to do another session w/ you once I get my first paycheck!
  • Stephanie, that is terrible!!! I am soooo sorry =( Let me know if there is anything I can do!

  • OMG that's horrible! I'll keep you in my prayers.

  • oh Steph, i'm so sorry!

    i agree with everyone else though..this would be a perfect chance to do photography f/t and like Amy pointed out there are so few photogs in AU that i think you could do really well at the bridal show

  • Oh I am really sorry.  It really sucks even more to happen during the holidays.  If I had extra money lying around I would definitely book a photo session.

    Siggy coming soon....
  • thank you all so much! ?:)
  • btw- I sent you an email Embarrassed

  • OMG, I'm so sorry!  Like pp, I hope either you get another job really soon or pursue your photography full time.  I've been sending your info to lots of expecting couples and families and will continue to do so. Sending up a prayer for you!
  • I am so sorry.  I agree with everyone else too.  You definately have the talent to be a FT photographer.  I hope that tons of opportunities open up for you.  If there is anything I can do to help please let me know!

  • This is nothing more than a blessing in disguise! You are such a talented photographer! Work it, girl!
  • i'm so sorry..i lost my job about 2 months ago. I know you're reeling with so many emotions right now. i went from depressed to super angry... I promise it will work out for the better! I definitely see this as your opportunity to move forward with your photography. this may have been the push you needed to move into doing it full time.

    and actually, i've been meaning to email you about maybe doing a session with my family as a gift for my mom. :) all my fam is in enterprise, but they could travel up here too...i'll email you
