It has been brewing inside me for quite sometime. Slipping out here and there. Bits and pieces slowly being picked up and put together.
Last night I sat on my couch in a room filled with toys scattered about the floor. The toys were much like my brain, random thoughts everywhere in sight mixed and meshed among the space. I poured my heart, my soul, my thoughts about my business to my hubby. We sat in conversation for several hours. Despite the fact that we were exhausted, the fact that these quiet kid-free late hours were ones that are rare form for our life. But we gladly spent them chatting about the future of Candi Leonard Photography.
This photography business started out as something inside me that I HAD TO DO. I wanted to pursue this career to feed a hunger inside my soul. I didn't know how to do it, or what to do. So I just jumped in whole-heartedly. Once I got my business off the ground, I started to become what I was meant to be. Passion leads my work 100%. My heart is in this from the beginning. The more I do what I love, the more I see a side of me that I never knew was there. I am so anxious about my future. Now that i have a good few years under my belt with this career, I am ready to take it to the next step. To become what I want it to be. To push myself creatively. To live an inspired life in my work. I am ready to jump forward and share what I have inside with all of you. For the longest time I held back somewhat out of fear. Out of being afraid to tell people the crazy thoughts filling my head. But now, I am ready to embrace them. To share them. To create something that takes your breathe away. Changes are coming.
This sounds off the wall possibly, but I want you my clients and followers to be a part of this evolution. I want you to KNOW where all my changes are coming from. To see this piece of my heart that I am going to put out there. I want you to know the inner me. Much of my job is showing up and shooting pictures. To many, that is simply it. Meet you at a place and capture your life. Sounds simple, right? But I am ready to go BEYOND that. To create the moment perfectly and then capture it. It will still be you...and still be me taking pictures, but only now working together to give you exactly what you want in a way that excites me to the point I can't sleep thinking about it.
I am so pumped up about the future of this business. The creation of what I have coming keeps my head swimming and my heart racing. I can't wait to put it out there for you all to see...hang tight!
