It's been a while since I've been here at DPC.
I just wanted to say it was my original source of inspiration and helped my passion grow into a profession.
I am now working for 3 studios doing wedding work and my business is growing every day.

I thought i'd show some recent shoots...

engagement shoot

maternity shoot
the maternity shoot was the first I've ever done...the couple was a blast!

I am continuing to try new things and work hard to make it all happen....thanks DPC!

Congratulations and welcome back, your story is a good lesson for all who wish to make photography as a profession.

Its something a always tell my kids "you can be anything you want to be if you try hard enough"

Now how about you enter a few challenges.

Congratulations Terry !!

You and many others are an inspiration for me (and many others) who wish to take the same route...It feels great to hear some success stories like yours :)

thanks guys!
believe me it isnt easy....especially running a business.
Every day i change my mind and think i must be crazy to be shooting weddings of all things(major stress).
I am still trying new things and am unsure which area will prove to be the best for me to focus on.

Three years ago I had a part time job as a bookkeeper...had no training ever in photography...yes..anything is possible if you want it bad enough.

I love the engagement session. The candids are marvelous. You've really captured their emotion. Great work!

thanks jodie.
(BTW, you work is great...how long did it take you to get together a portfolio of that size? and how long did it take you to start earning money at the stock agencies?
I am thinking of going in that direction... but doubt i have the dicipline necessary for it.)
