Day 40 of Marriage
Day 3 of Blogging

Sometimes it's wonderful working with your spouse.

The Mr. and I are currently in the process of beginning our own photography business.  We purchased a Canon Rebel T2i with our wedding gift money and spent our honeymoon practicing.  Sunday we took our final session of engagement pictures of our dear friends and are in the processing of finishing all the post-production, which is far more time consuming than most would think.

While editing pictures this morning I messaged another friend and asked if she might be willing to do a shoot with us to bulk up our portfolio.  Lo and behold, she spoke with her mother and we are now in the process of negotiating a Christmas shoot for the entire family - and their dogs!

So, it seems that this business venture of ours could actually turn into something promising.  And, as we were sitting on the couch together this morning, I became very thankful that I am able to do creative, and sometimes lucrative, things with my husband.  We sipped coffee and discussed photographing techniques, photoshop tricks and location ideas.  And it's those conversations about ideas and visions and passion that bring a couple closer together.  So if we can make a career out of pushing each other, encouraging each other and making art together, we have to be one of the luckiest couples out there.
