Business venture...not really, but wouldn't it be cool if it was?!

Hmmm...I am thinking about transforming part of my bedroom into a 'studio' of sorts.

You see, I LOVE photography! Particularly of kids/families. Nothing makes me happier than taking a photo that captures a sweet little smile, the absolute love between parents and their children, or the fun of siblings! (cheesy, but true!) Well, I say 'nothing' makes me happier, but really lots of things make me happy. Rainbows, animals, catching up with friends, theme parks, a really good nectarine (has to be 'yellow flesh' though), my family, colourful things, a good book, storms, and so on and so forth. Oh, and Milo, it makes me happy! Man, if that stuff wasn't so ridiculously bad for me, mostly cause I eat it like the world's gonna end tomorrow, I would buy it more often! Shout out to Nestle :)

Lots of things do make me happy, but photography is different. If I could do it full time, and make enough money out of it to support myself, I would do it, but I like it as a hobby. Someone recently said to me "you can have too much of a good thing" (I know it's a common phrase, but we were actually talking about my photography). I don't want photography to become 'too much', I don't want to over do it, and start to despise it. So 'hobby' status is great for right now, cause I also love teaching, and I do want to do that full time.

Anywhozles, my bedroom is kinda perfect to convert the end of into a mini-studio. There are 2 parts to my bedroom, a small room that my bed and wardrobe is in, and another, bigger and longer room that is currently home to my tv, a couple of bookcases, a massive Harry Potter cardboard promo-thing, and a whole bunch of stuff that I don't know what to do with. So, if I sorted through all my stuff that occupies about half of the bigger room's space, and cleared it all out, I could turn that end into my mini-studio!
I could offer to take photos for my friends, of their kids, I could do family photos and stuff too. So I could have all my fabric, and little hats and other props, and keep them all together in my 'studio'. I could also do 'on location' photos too, outside ones and such.

 Behind that awesome poster, is the other half of the long room...that 'hidden' half would be where I could set up my 'studio' (I love the sound of the word!)
All along the left, are windows, great for photography (not the windows themselves, though I'm sure they're great, but I more meant the light that they would provide).






 

Here, the people I don't need for whatever photo I happen to be taking, could watch a dvd, read a book, check the time, check out another HP poster, listen to music...I might even move the washing basket of dirty washing into where my bed is, cause that's just the kind of photographer I am :)

This is the wall opposite the tv. I could upgrade from one beanbag to a whole couch (I have a great red couch that is just asking to be placed in this very spot!), you know, so my clients have somewhere to rest while they watch dvds...or, they could fight over the one beanbag :)





 Doesn't this all sound like heaps of fun!!??

I could make it cheap as chips (if I even charged at all), so I am making a little money from it, and I'd be getting some practice in, which would (hopefully) result in some half decent shots :)

Oh, the world is my oyster!

This has nothing to do with the rest of my blog, but isn't this just the cutest photo ever!?!?!
This is my youngest nephew, he's 5, and so stinkin' cute! If I ever have a prep class, I am definitely stealing this idea for my kiddies! :)
