FINALLY!

So for all my [Facebook] friends out there, sorry this took SO long - you never feel really ready honestly!

I have a multiple choice question for you:
I am...
a. pregnant
b. wishing I were
c. a photographer
d. wanting to make a difference
e. both c & d

Which one?? I know so many of our friends are wishing that I was a. but really...I am c & d!

That's why I created my photography business, let me tell you how this came about.
I have been searching for the 'best' career choice for me - I explored my talents, options, and reality only to realize that my whole life I was doing something that I loved.

Photography.

I love love love it! I just never thought in a million years that I would turn my passion into something that I can do full time.
But then I thought - what if I could do something that was my passion & allow it to help others.
That's why I developed Hope Shots, a way that I could help others.

thought about this after watching a show that featured Tom's Shoes - so I thought if I could make this a win:win kind of model then I could help too! So after my shots of beautiful brides, children, and families I could photograph children of third world countries, puppies waiting to be adopted, and so much more. (SO - if you have something you think I could do to help - please let me know!) I will also feature some guest photographers & give the option to purchase their prints to help others!

I am SO excited about this opportunity & hope that you are too! I know that it might be a disappointment that I am not pregnant (you guys are too funny!) but this is just as exciting!

I hope that you continue to follow me, bless me by allowing me to be a part of your lives, give me a shout about my pics, and liking me on Facebook!

Thanks for your interest & your love.
I absolutely adore you!
Lida (and of course, my sweet hubby Kenny!)

Here's a little quiz:
Which one is right?
A) Good things come to those who wait

B) Great things are worth waiting for?!

C) Patience is a virtue...

D) All of the above...

You are SO smart, thanks for waiting for me!

First Official Day

I'm uber familiar with blogs and how they link people to others. In fact, my friend & I read the same blogs and start chatting about people like they are another pea in our pod! HA!
I created this blog to document the ups, downs, and arounds of starting and maintaining my own photography business. Not all of it will be business, a lot will be fun - I'm so blessed to know some photographers in the area and in my own backyard. I cannot WAIT to start working with more - meeting them, hanging out, learning some tricks of the trade.

Most of all, I want this blog to be ... me.uncut.raw.
Why? Because you need to know me - from the inside out. One of my favorite mentors says: "Your business is just an extension of who you are!" Boy, isn't that the truth? Hoping that you become an amazing friend along the way.

Tonight, I will be sending a very special message...because my website will FINALLY be on.
Can't wait to show you!
Love always,
Lida

Launching March 3rd!
