Every job that I am hired for I do my absolute best. I always give 120% to every client. It is an absolute joy when I have repeat customers. They put their trust in me one time and now continue to return for years to come. Some of my clients refer to me as "their photographer" :) At first when people started to even call me a photographer I was embarrassed. I guess it had not sunk in that I was no longer just Laurie or mommy. I now owned something that could be GREAT! Sometimes I lack the confidence in myself to do the job. After years of doing this you would think I would get over that and not be nervouse. But I think that if I got cocky I would also get sloppy. I absolutely respect people who do photography for a living. It is not easy by any means. If you are not a people person you might as well forget about it!
When you start a business and build it up from nothing, it is a great accomplishment. I am very proud that I am able to help support my family. I definitely feel like a Proverbs 31 woman.
From the Message Bible
Proverbs 31
A good woman is hard to find,
and worth far more than diamonds.
Her husband trusts her without reserve,
and never has reason to regret it.
Never spiteful, she treats him generously
all her life long.
She shops around for the best yarns and cottons,
and enjoys knitting and sewing.
She’s like a trading ship that sails to faraway places
and brings back exotic surprises.
She’s up before dawn, preparing breakfast
for her family and organizing her day.
She looks over a field and buys it,
then, with money she’s put aside, plants a garden.
First thing in the morning, she dresses for work,
rolls up her sleeves, eager to get started.
She senses the worth of her work,
is in no hurry to call it quits for the day.
She’s skilled in the crafts of home and hearth,
diligent in homemaking.
She’s quick to assist anyone in need,
reaches out to help the poor.
She doesn’t worry about her family when it snows;
their winter clothes are all mended and ready to wear.
She makes her own clothing,
and dresses in colorful linens and silks.
Her husband is greatly respected
when he deliberates with the city fathers.
She designs gowns and sells them,
brings the sweaters she knits to the dress shops.
Her clothes are well-made and elegant,
and she always faces tomorrow with a smile.
When she speaks she has something worthwhile to say,
and she always says it kindly.
She keeps an eye on everyone in her household,
and keeps them all busy and productive.
Her children respect and bless her;
her husband joins in with words of praise:
“Many women have done wonderful things,
but you’ve outclassed them all!”
Charm can mislead and beauty soon fades.
The woman to be admired and praised
is the woman who lives in the Fear-of-God.
Give her everything she deserves!
Festoon her life with praises!
Years ago I never thought I could ever be that for my family. But I see it coming true for me lately. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying this in a pride full way. I think every woman should strive to be a proverbs 31 woman. I am not all the way there yet. I have many flaws, but this is what I am striving for.
