You're HIRED!

Today, someone used the word "hire" when asking me to take pictures of their newborn. The first time it happened, about 2 weeks ago, I just thought it was funny.

And then today, someone else said the same thing. "Hired."

Hired to take photos...since when did my hobby become a possible job? I'm still not charging...but maybe I should? I certainly don't think of myself as being good enough to charge...and am far from it!

But so far, I have 2 newborn sessions, 1 maternity session, and 1 toddler and 1 baby session that people want me to do.

WHAT? I can't barely keep my toilet clean and Michael has to help me do it! Some days, I can't even get to the dishes! How am I supposed to launch a bonafide business on top of this?

So even though it is a happy realization, it also is a hard one...to have to confront whether I am really going to do this...and if I might just fail.

So now, I better go in search for motivational quotes about not being afraid of failure and how only losers are afraid to fail.
