1 year ago today I filled out unemployment papers. I saw it coming like all of you. It was a horrible time, simple phone call from RM, and my life changed. Hid out at house for two months to avoid angry customers, being from a small town, they were every where. Then after. Licking wounds and looking at employment ads. I dusted my self off and realized I missed all of the milestone moments I was missing and decided to build my own studio. It has been the best experience, I am grateful I worked at sears. I learned how to handle, volume, all ages and personalities. Most photographers can run a camera but how to handle all the kids is the key to success. So embrace the time you have left and use it to fine tune yourself. Try your best! Educate yourself on the new and current photography style. Then think outside the box on how to create it in lightroom. Several YouTube videos to learn from. Who knows you might start having a little fun, do what you know works and screw the crazy goals. Hang in there guys there is life after CPI!!. Good customers will see your passion and follow you??. Good luck to all.
