The 2nd Anniversary with a CONTEST!!

Today, 2 years ago, I had my first “client”.. who in reality was one of my friends who decided to pay me.. LOL  I can’t believe how much the business has changed in this time.. I’m so happy!. To celebrate I’m going to have a contest in the blog and a lot of specials during the whole month so you need to stick around!

First lets go back in time, 2 years ago, with Steven’s help I put a website with some examples of my work and I told my friends about it.  My goal was to have 2-3 sessions a month, just for fun. My friends started running the voice about my work, I was soo obsessed with photography.

Today I have a totally different website (that needs to be updated by the way), my friends and now my clients too keep the voice running about my work and now I book around 20 sessions a month and I am even more obsessed with photography.. :)

I seriously LOVE what I do.. I always have the greatest clients, I get to meet new people all the time, I get to see little ones grow and I have a lot more new friends now.. somebody pinch me please!.. I’m living a dream!..

All of these is because of YOU!.. I thank you all from the deepest in my heart for all your support during this time.. THANK YOU!!

So as a part of this big thanks, I decided to have a little contest in the blog. I’ve selected 12 pictures from the past year that represent my work. It was HARD and a little bitter sweet to see all those pics… all you need to do is to vote for your favorite. The winner image will be printed in 16×20 and will be shipped to the family that belongs. So go ahead and chose your favorite!.. The poll will close on July 3rd at 11:59pm. Just go to the end of this post to find the little poll to submit your vote. Good Luck everybody!

Happy 2nd Anniversary! I have Loved all the pics you’ve taken of my boys, and I have always heard that you should find out how to make your passion work for you – which I guess you have!! You have a gift – so keep it up and before you know it, you’ll be in so high demand that you’ll be out of my price range :) Looking forward to a winter time session….guess I need to book now since your’e doing 20 a month!!

Felicidades….no inventes ya dos años en esto!!! que padre mi amor, se lo que es trabajar cuando lo que haces te apasiona!! no haces las cosas para los demás sino para ti misma!!! y ello te reporta la mayor de las satisfacciones..no hacer por hacer, sino dejar huella en lo que haces, con metas claras, para vivir los desafíos con toda las ganas de vivirlos y superarlos!!! felicidades a ti, y a mi por se tu mamá…te amo muñeca preciosa!!!!
Cuando vivimos proyectos con los cuales nos sentimos indentificada,que nos permiten impulsar nuestra creatividad, que nos forlatecen en los momentos de desafío y que contribuyen en nuestra felicidad es entender el porqué de nuestra existencia y encontrar el sentido de la experiencia humana que atravesamos para poder darle valor a lo que hacemos día a día..

Mónica Pedroarena - July 2, 2009 - 8:46 am

Felicidades!!! tener un trabajo en donde te guía la pasión ya que el hacerlo te reporta mas de un beneficio..
Trabajar en un proyecto en el cual nos sentimos identificados, el cual nos permite impulsar nuestra creatividad, el cual nos fortalece en momentos de desafío, el cual contribuye a hacernos mas felices es algo mas que concretar uns sueño. Es entender el porqué estamos aquí, entender el sentido de la experiencia humana que atravesamos y darle valor a lo que hacemos día a día.
es dejar huella en lo que hacemos!!!!!
