Discouraged
I have been feeling very discouraged lately in the aspect of the photography business I'm attempting to get off the ground.. I feel like I'm one of those toy helicopters who can only get so far off the ground before a crash. It is frustrating and discouraging to me. I want this to thrive and do well! I know it's been cold and gloomy and no one is wanting their picture to be taken... I'm trying hard to keep my head up!

I have felt the same way too at times. I had my camera for 7 months before I ever snapped a picture for someone else--I felt like I just wasn't ready! And a whole year before I even named my business! I spent months following my sister-in-law around with her camera (I STILL DO! lol) soaking up info, watched dozens of on-line tutorials, read books, got together with other aspiring photographers, and joined lots of photography support groups just to gain knowledge about this art form. I STILL know practically nothing in the grand scheme of knowing a camera! lol! BUT, It's a crowded industry and knowledge is power. And once I learned how to shoot manually and swore to never use a flash again, my little business has took right off. Chin up and stick with it. it takes time :)
