Here recently I have been playing with the idea of moving back to Shelby County to pursue my dream as a photographer. When I started my photography degree, I always envisioned moving back to my hometown, and starting a studio, so that clients in the Shelbina, Clarence, Paris, Macon, and Monroe City area would not have to drive an hour or more away to have professional pictures taken. As anyone who has started their own business knows, it is a scary thing to think of starting a business, and then not having the money come in!! I now have a family to support instead of when I first started this thinking process, it was just myself I would need to support. If I were to move my family to Shelby Co, would there be clients wanting to spend that money to have their pictures taken professionally? Could I build a solid clientele? Would my studio stay busy enough to keep me out of debt? These are all questions that I lie awake and think about at all hours of the night!!

After you have read this, think to yourself, what you look for in a photograph of your loved one!! Do you want something quick and cheap that will last maybe a year, or do you want something heartfelt, that will last a lifetime?? And then those of you from Shelby County ask yourself if you would like something like this close to home?? Once you have pondered all these thoughts and questions I have thrown out there for everyone to see, please feel free to email me at leigh_photography@hotmail.com or comment on your thoughts!!
Hope everyone is having a Happy Hump Day!! Have a great week!!
