Maz Pix is officially in business! After a couple of months hard at it, the planning stage of my photography business is almost finished. I have been working with a business lawyer to set up a corporation which is a three week process in itself, in the meantime I have been creating marketing materials and a website, reading what seems to be an entire library of books, applying the learnings by taking LOTS of pictures of anything and everything and everyone, experimenting with my lighting, backgrounds, and props, and helping out other photographer friends with various photo shoots to get some additional hands on experience. I have been booking appointments left and right which include two shoots this weekend, one the middle of April, and an entire daycare center the end of April! I've also got another daycare shoot lined up for the fall already. Everything is falling into place nicely and I'm so thankful that I followed my heart and dreams when I did. I just knew that sitting in a cubicle all day everyday just didn't feel right. I felt trapped and held back from truly being...me. Work life doesn't have to be a miserable experience. It really can be fun, and well not really feel like work at all. I have technically been putting in 8-10 hour days 5+ days a week as I get things ramped up so it's definitely a full-time job, but it doesn't feel like work. It's a blast and it's mine and I get to make my own schedule because I'M THE BOSS! :) It's amazing what five months, a fresh start, an old dream, and time to actually pursue it will do for a person's happiness level. I am so excited for the present and what's to come in the future with Maz Pix!
