Let the Journey Begin!

Is it Spring yet?  Is anyone else ready for some warm weather?  I am so excited to tell all my friends, family and followers that I am on a new and exciting adventure.  I have begun the journey to my passionate career.  Have you ever asked your self as an adult "What do I want to be when I grow up"?  Well like most of us, we wonder the same thing.  I am currently reading a book called Crush It by Gary Vaynerchuk.  If you want to find out what you want to be when you grow up, just read Crush It!  I have a few passions in life.
One is PHOTOGRAPHY
 The other is CHILDREN.  


Most of you know I am a certified teacher.  I graduated 11 years ago and have been applying in the Education field for 4 years.  I love working with children!  I still have to work Full Time.  I am praying for that as well.  I am a single mom.  Being unemployed is not easy.  I am a substitute teacher so that helps some.  I will work hard so that my passion will be my career and it will not be work!  I love taking photos and cannot wait to get started!

While I am on this journey, I will continue to update you.  I have had a few photography classes in High School and College.  I LOVED every single minute of them!  The classes were many, many years ago!  However, I believe that a photographer never looses her touch.  As I drive down the road or walk along the street, I see photos in my mind.  Anyone who loves photography knows what I am talking about.

Through out my journey I will have God on my side to guide me.  I will also need to get into some photography classes.  A few to get me back into learning my camera (digitally and manually).  See back in the day, we only used 35 mm or even a pin hole camera!  Haha!  We didn't have digital cameras.  I will also need a class or two in PhotoShop.  This is what I am really excited about!  I hope that I can meet up with other photographers in the area to trade my time for learning from them.

Some of you may be curious why I chose the name Wall Photography.  Well my closest friends and family know, Wall is my maiden name.  It symbolizes my daddy!  He was one of the walls to our family and is now at his eternal home with our Father God!  I know my dad would be so proud of me.  I know he always knew I would have my own successful business.  Daddy, I am on my way!

Please share my page and keep coming back!  I plan to also do some video blogs after I get used to this whole blog thing.  Stay tuned!

Make today a great day!
