The Voices Within Me

So my SIL is starting a photography business in the near future- something I have had the desire to do for years. While I wish her the best, I have a bit of jealousy that she able to do it at this time. I would love none other than to focus on this desire of mine but I know the timing is not right. Tim and I have had this business idea for years and I do know one day it will come true- but until then I will continue building my portfolio and refining my techniques. I don't want to become a carbon copy of other businesses out there- I want to have something I stand out for and until then I am going to keep working until I find it. I know I am progressing every day with my skills and I really want to be set before I take that huge plunge. Once I throw myself out there- it is sink or swim and of course I hope for the latter.
Anyways...it is sorta neat that Tegan and I share that same desire- and I honestly do wish her the best in her endeavor. Photography is such a fun world and it is a skill that whether you take it to the professional level or not, it will be worthwhile in the end. I can look at all the pictures I take of my own kids and just be happy that I have the talent to capture those moments in the best way possible. My parents are sure going to have the most photographed grandchildren out there :) I am sure that they won't mind all that much ;)
So to help me learn and build my skills, please feel free to comment on the photos that I post here on my blog. I am not talking about random snapshot pictures- but the ones where it looks as if I took my time composing the shot, etc... I know that some of them need criticism and I have to learn to take that- so I figure it is best to start with my friends that know and love me. I know I can't grow if I am complacent.
On that note, once again, good luck to you Tegan and maybe I will learn a few pointers from you along the way. We will need a family portrait done of us for Christmas- maybe you guys will to and we can swap? That is if you trust my skills enough to allow that ;)
