Seriously.

Since the move to Idaho I've been really struggling with my business. There are so many photographers here, including the college kids who are trying to get into photography. I was there once, I understand building a portfolio. But now many people do not value photography, because that's what the photographers here have taught them. That you can have a 2 hour session with unlimited locations and outfits and 100+ images all for $20! And I'm really struggling with because that's what everyone is expecting to get when they inquire.
It's taken me years to get to where I'm at. I owned a DLSR when I was 14 and I used it quite a bit, (still own it actually). But my equipment has upgraded, I have invested in multiple classes and workshops to better my skills and I have had enough experience with each of the sessions I specialize in.
So I've decided it's time for a change. If I want to be recognized as a real business, I have to start acting like one. I have to get ready every morning as if I'm going to meet a client. I need a real website just like any other company. If I want to be full-time, I need a plan on how I will make a profit to actually pay all my bills and business expenses.

If I want to be taken seriously, I need to take myself seriously.

I'm so excited for all the amazing things in store for JayCee Photography. Be prepared world. This girl's going after what she wants and nothing can stop her. :)
