I think I want to start a photography business

I have never really talked about my photography business on my blog. Maybe someone would like to know what it is all about. Maybe you think "umm it is a photography business so it must be about photography." Yes it is about photography and much more. Fade to black....

I started this business after I left my old job as a graphic designer. The position was called graphic designer but I really just did more of touch up and adjusting.  It was an OK job. A little stressful but I always knew that God had given me that job and that He would release me form it when the time came. It was difficult when I did leave the job but I have to say it was for the best. So I found myself looking for another job but not really wanting to get another job.(I never really had luck with jobs) So I thought about my own business. I have always thrown around the idea of starting one. My husband and I talked briefly about having our own t-shirt making company or a deck making company. So when the opportunity arose to start my own photography business I deiced I would give it a go. I though I have a degree in art and a minor in marketing I can do this! Well it is a lot easier to say what you are going to do than to do it. Some people may have though I was crazy to start up  a business in an economic down turn but I though it was a great time. (As you can tell I am sometime very optimistic.) I didn't think it would be easy (I didn't think it would be this difficult either) but I knew and still know that I work not in this worlds economy but in God's economy.Also, when I went to work for other people I knew I was really working for God. Now that I work for myself I am still working for God.

So since this company is really God's company I wanted to set it up that way. So I would sit around setting up the structure of my business but I kept on thinking how is this different form any other company? How is this God's company? How is God going to work through a photography company? Not saying that He can't just how is He? I remember having these questions constantly. My friend and I would pray about it and it took a couple of months to really get the answer. Now I don't think I know all of what is going to be happening but I do know a few things. One I should give a portion of my profit way to charity. The other is more personal. It has to do with me and my interaction with others. I didn't realize how personal photography is. How much I would be interaction with people. My camera allows me to go and be apart of things I don't think I would be able to do without it. Now this freaks me out just a little because, I not sure if I stated this before but, I am no social butterfly. Still, I think that is the point. I am not supposed to be the extrovert I will never be the extrovert. God is going to take my inadequacies and fill in the gaps with His power.This business is going to be a true God thing. God is going to show out I just know it! So I say just watch He is going to do a good work with 3-Design. Now don't get confused I not talking about the money He is going to make for me I am talking about the lives He is going to change through 3-Design. Alright you guys have a great day. I will talk to you tomorrow.


Peace
