My first day of photography mentorship began with me wanting to turn my alarm off and go back to sleep. I think this was because last night, after my first call with Christina, my mind couldn't stop turning as I thought of all the new ways I want to invest in my business. I don't think late night calls are good for me....

Nevertheless, I did manage to get up, and go to my "real job" [an Office Manager in my Father's Heating and Air Conditioning Company].

As far as photography goes....here's what I've accomplished today:

1) thought about how I want to work my new Photography blog for my business [ok...so I didn't get actually think of anything I liked, but don't tell anyone].

2) Wrote down a list of values that my business has to offer. [now I can feel good about charging people lots of money to take their pictures. yay!]

3) designed another two page in my amazing, cool Graphistudio Sample album that I'm about to order. [I only had on my list to design one...so I was happy to do two.]

4) Thought about how amazingly cool my wedding is going to look at this place: [oh, woops! that wasn't part of my photography building....]

5) I now have a place to store all of the things I find that inspire me.

6) I also have uploaded a few preview photos of a bridal shower I shot for a Bride who's getting married in a few weeks.

7) And, besides all that, I'm also currently in the process of exporting an engagement gallery to upload for my clients - which I'll be uploading to the internet as I sleep. Ah...it's wonderful to be able to work and sleep at the same time.

All in all, I had a wonderful day, and can only hope that tomorrow will be even better. [if it will just stop raining.....]
