Self–Portrait Challenge this week continues the theme of “No Word November” …. a self-portrait with no description.  I won’t go on and on, but I do have to tell you why this photo is meaningful to me …..

I was hired last week …. OFFICIALLY hired ….. to work as a photographer.  Not in a “Hey, will you take photos on the other kids on Kellen/Kendrie/Brayden’s team” kind of way …. not not in a “Hey, would you snap some photos of our family” kind of way (Although I did actually have two of those sessions scheduled … one canceled due to crap weather, and one canceled due to crap haircut.)**  

But this box shows the photos I took, ordered, and delivered of our middle school football teams, both individual and team pictures.  And while my name might have been tossed in only because my brother-in-law suggested me, I still had a phone call with the coach (a total stranger) and took photos of boys I didn’t know, for parents I didn’t know.   Which I had never done before.

So I count this as my first “official” gig.   And, I actually made money at it, which was a nice change of pace.

**Speaking as someone who has been known to hurry and schedule a cut and color before a family photo, I COMPLETELY felt that girl’s pain.
