For several years I've been in love with my camera. I've taken a variety of senior photos and engagement shots for friends and family. On Thanksgiving, in fact, I took my little brother's engagement photos... and it was then, after I received so many compliments and positive feedback about them that I decided I need to give photography a try from a professional level. So, for the past week I've spent many hours thinking about it, stressing about it, finally deciding to do it... designing the website and Facebook page for my new photography and design endeavor: Pure and Simple: Photography and Design. I've designed and ordered business cards, purchased my own domain name, worked out a "business" phone number and even invested a nice, new SLR camera... now I just need to see if I can get any business! =)
I'm a little scared, to be perfectly honest. I thought about doing this several years ago, and even booked one appointment, but it just didn't go anywhere from there and I kind of gave up. I have some confidence issues with my work... they always say that you are your own worst critic: it is SOO true! Thankfully I have an awesome husband and friends/family who have been really encouraging and helpful. So, it's with their support, that I've put my anxiety on hold and have decided to finally go for it!
I'm excited. I LOVE photography and really enjoy the opportunity to photograph new people and places. And, to think that I can actually turn my passion into a way to earn a few extra bucks for my growing family... even better!
In order to help move things along a bit, I have decided to start things off with a couple of specials. You'll see these along the top of the web page: 25% off all photo sessions scheduled to take place by the end of February, and $15 in cash (or $20 photo/project credit) for every friends that any of you refer who purchases a photo session or design project. I'm not sure how long the referral reward will go on... I guess we'll just have to see how many people take advantage of it and help me out! =)
Please, take a look around this website, contact me if you have any questions or want to book a session/project, "like" the Facebook page, and pass the links around to your friends. My family and I would really appreciate it!
(Here's a few of my favorite photos from my photo sesh with my baby brother and his fiance, Jenn, last weekend... P.S. Jenn has started her own wedding planning blog... I'm sure she would love some more followers/advice/ideas!)

Your pic skills are GREAT Brittney! That's awesome, taking a leap like that. My hubby and I are planning on investing in some great cameras and giving wedding photography a shot too (we'll be a team)....but not for a few years still. I've got lots of research to do first. He's taken photography....but I, on the other hand, know nothing about the mechanics of it. I've always been a "point & shoot" kinda girl. lol. So I have some learning to do. I will definitely "like" you on FB and check out your site. Those pictures really ARE WONDERFUL! good luck to you!
I am so happy with how beautiful these photo's turned out :) and I am passing your name around to everyone! :) and thanks for the blog add on the end ;)
That's great! Way to go after your dreams! I love the name of your business too :)
