Project 365 - Day 27
Spring has officially returned and along with it, spring cleaning! We spring cleaned the house from top to bottom and wound up redecorating my bedroom in the process. The picture above is of the photos I framed for my room. I have been testing out photo printers recently and most of them let you order 4-5 sample photos to test their quality and services. I've found a couple companies that I really like and will use when I need prints from my photoshoots.
I chose the best prints and bought frames for them yesterday and will be hanging them up tomorrow when I officially finish redecorating my room :) I have been waiting almost two months until Spring came along to use my new comforter set. Once I put it on my bed, change my curtains and hang my pictures I will finally be done. I will post pictures once everything is finished.
I don't know what my problem has been lately (stress most likely), but it seems like I cannot focus on anything and everyday I feel like I've accomplished nothing. I know that isn't totally true, but that's how I feel. I've been reading up on the business aspect of photography and most days I come away from it feeling very overwhelmed. There is SO much to know and so many things to consider. But I keep telling myself 'one thing at a time'; perfect my photography and take the step into a business when the time is right. I am a perfectionist (very bad!) and I always feel the need to plan everything, so it only makes sense to me to do the research now and know the costs of having my own business before jumping into anything. From what I've read, many people who start their own photography business are ill-prepared and don't realize what is entailed until they are in the midst of it. For this reason, most Photographers are out of business within 5 years. I am determined that I will not be one of them!
Speaking of business, I will post about the photoshoot I have booked. I will give you a hint: there will be many flowers and people to photograph ;)
May I ask which printing companies you've found that you like? I am in the same boat as you (still learning, not yet starting a business, doing research) and would love to hear your recommendations.
