Giving Up…

I have decided to give up photography! There is too many people into it right now, I just found out that a client I took pictures for is now going into it and announced it on facebook. She said that if you don’t like the pictures then they are free, which I thought about doing. There’s just too much competition with it and I’m tired of trying, it’s not even fun to me anymore and the editing takes a long time. I’ll update what I have now onto facebook and my website and do pictures for the 2 people I said I would take pictures for and that’s it. After that I will work on printing my own and making my scrapbooks just for me. I don’t get any feedback and when I do it’s always the same person (the girl I work with)

Other than that I have been pop free for 3 weeks 🙂   I’m gonna weigh myself soon to see if I lost weight, it’s not the right time right now though. I need to start working out and when I stop doing pictures I will have more time for that.

My husband’s mom will be gone for sure on Wednesday. I asked her if she wanted to take Madison to pre-school but she didn’t say anything so I could tell she didn’t want to. She was there for her other grand-daughter for school but can’t do the same for my daughter? She’s not much of a mom and grandma and my husband is so pissed at his parents he can’t even talk about them. I feel bad for him 🙁

My mom and grandparents come in 3 days and I can’t WAIT!!! It will be good to have my family up here visiting and it’s just what I need to get my mind off things…

Here’s the facebook page again for people…

My hubby said I’m doing it for the wrong reasons and that I care too much about what other people think but I have a low self-esteem so it helps when people say they like my stuff. It’s hard cause I am doing it for me but getting discouraged cause to many people are doing it and I won’t get business that way. Guess that’s all there is to do up here, that and become a nurse…. BLAH

I’m sorry you’re giving up photography, but if you’re not happy doing it, it may be for the best. At least you can still do it as a hobby, maybe you will get back to loving it then. When you’re not concerned about what clients think 🙂 I did look, but without a facebook I couldn’t do much 😛 You have taken some adorable shots -hugs-

You need to stop telling yourself that you have low self-esteem b/c you don’t! And if you are still up for it whenever we get the chance I still would love for you to take photos of us one day b/c I love what you do.
