I took a deep breath last week, and put myself out there! It's paid off! But let me start at the beginning... I was noticing that every time I put photos on facebook of my friends and family, I was getting a lot of comments. As I've practised more and more with my photos, I started to think I could do this for other people. THEN I was approached by someone I know vaguely to ask if I would take some photos of her daughter and nephew, for her to give as Xmas gifts. I was chuffed to bits, and agreed. I had a good think, and decided to charge her 20 pounds for the session, with all the images on disk for her to do as she pleased with. She agreed, and I decided to put on my facebook that I was offering photos at a great price, and to contact me if interested. From that, I had one more girl who is a friend of a friend contact me, saying she wanted some her her family. So this Saturday, I arranged both shoots, and breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the beautiful weather. Sunday was spent editing in front of the pc. I'm pretty pleased with myself. I think I did a good job! It's hard for me to say that because I'm very modest (honest!) and my confidence in myself has never been good. But I look at these images and just LOVE them. How can I not? Here are some of my fave shots from the second session. Beautiful family, beautiful children. I loved every second.

You are right to love them. I think they're fab - i bet the family are thrilled! Go you! And remember to add travel costs as word spreads!
They are fab! I'd be proud if they were mine my darling!

Fabulous photos! You should be very proud of them.
They are fab photos, I just can't get a decent family photo no matter what I do.

Beautiful, gorgeous photos and an amazing price (don't undersell yourself!) I hope you get lots more commissions.
