Approaching the Dream


I am sooooooo not at liberty to divulge anything yet....

But the publication I did the photo shoot for this weekend....

I sent them some early edited images....

and they LOVED them!!!!!

and.....

it's looking like you'll be seeing me in print again!!!

Speechless.

I never dreamed that I'd actually be able to make a go of it
as an actual published photographer.

Which means....

holy cr@# !
I'M A REAL PHOTOGRAPHER NOW!!!!


{ okay, so they spelled my name wrong...I'm a stickler for the "e", just like Anne of Green Gables }

I can't share the over 700 images with you....yet...but I will  let you know when and where
they will be published, just as soon as I get the go-ahead from the publisher.

And oh yeah....did I mention over 700 images???

If you don't see or hear from me in, oh, say a month or so....you know where I'll be.

Sitting right here.
Editing.
Editing.
And editing some more.

Just slip some food under the door, I'll be fine.

:-)

Dreams come true.
Believe in yourself.
Hang in there.
Stick with it.
Never give up.

Brilliant news! Although thinking about it, it isn't really very surprising given your obvious talent. However, talent aside, you have also worked hard to get to this point and I am so pleased for you.

Congratulations on being such a rising star.

Bravo, Anne! The sneak peek is amazing, I can tell each image is an itty bitty slice of you-your love, your warmth and your passion for beauty.

You are doing an incredible job and I am so happy that you are receiving well-deserved attention and accolades. I think all of us here knew that you had it in you, but isn't it just the icing on the cake when others recognize one's talents and abilities?

Missy @ Chateau Chic Boutique said...

Yay AnnE! (he-he!)

What great news! [I have a little guess as to publication but I will keep it to myself ;) ]
I'll be praying you don't get carpel tunnel while editing! A close friend of mine is a pro photographer and it's like she goes into editing hibernation on a big project and the poor thing can hardly move her arm afterwards!
May you be blessed by your new ventures! I really look forward to seeing your work.
Have a great week chickie!

deb christensen said...

hot dog, that's fabulous! but not surprising in the least, as your photos have been my daily window to places and people and things i never get to see from my little stormy alaskan island... way to rock that nice new camera!

Heaven's Walk said...

I KNEW IT! I just KNEW it! I knew that God placed your feet on a different path for a reason. And here you are, Ms Photographer! Grabbing that beloved fancy schmancy camera of yours (that I'm still swooning over) and making a living from something that you're not only GREAT at, but that you love doing, too! Doesn't get any better than that - and you deserve it, Anne! God is good - and he's given you such a wonderful talent that you're now able to really put to good use! Yay!!! Congrats! ♥
