Mosaic Monday: My Photography Business

Some of you may remember my New Year's day post, in which I chose the word accomplish as a guide for myself in 2011. I listed several goals for the year, but the big one -- the scary one -- was to start a portrait photography business. I'm a little closer to that goal this week, as I have just put the finishing touches on my professional website.

Last summer, I mentioned to my hair dresser that I was interested in finding some children to photograph -- to see if I could get some practice in doing portraits. She led me to several families, who led me to several more... the result was a lot of practice for me, with the promise that I could use the images on a professional website. The result for the families was a free photo shoot. Some of the families used my images for their Christmas cards. I also did a newborn shoot, and the family used my photo for their birth announcement.

It was great fun, and I learned so much with each new family. I still feel as though I have a lot to learn, but I think I'm ready to make this business a reality, at least in a small way.

Now let's have some mosaic fun! Here are the instructions:
1. Publish your Mosaic Monday post. The post may be about any subject you wish. The only stipulation is that it include a collage, or mosaic of photos.
2. Once it is published, click on the title of the post. This will lead you to the static link for your post. The static link is the page with only that post on it. Copy the url from your browser at the top of the page.
3. Paste the url into the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
4. Type your name in the appropriate inlinkz box in this post.
5. Click on "Enter."
6. Please link back to this Mosaic Monday post so that your readers can find other wonderful mosaics.

That's all there is to it! It's always a good idea to then check and see if your link is working. If you have any questions, feel free to email me: mrcarroll(at)optonline

And a quick reminder: if you would like to join Mosaic Monday but don't know quite where to start, there is a tutorial on mosaic-making on my sidebar. Just scroll down, and click on the small blue mosaic.
