Knowing that there are only a few weeks left is keeping my head up. I am ready to complete these last few assignments for this class and be done with class for a while. I graduate in August and not May, but still, all I have to do is continue to work part time at my current co-op and I’m home free! Not much will change from this semester to summer, other than not being in this class anymore. I think my work load is going to grow.
On a bright note, I am shooting three weddings this summer, and I had my first wedding sign the contract yesterday! I felt so official. Considering I created the contract and questions to ask the bride and groom myself, I am very proud. I quoted a price a while back, and stuck with it and was able to even get my retainer fee yesterday. So today I am going to the bank and creating a new account, for business money only. I am so excited, I feel like I am already on my way to becoming a successful freelancer, now to find a real job!!!!
I think the only thing getting me through the end of this semester is that we’re so close to the end!
My friend and I (also in this class) are shooting two weddings with a local photographer this summer as well! We’re so excited, but nervous to be working for a professional!
That’s awesome to be doing your own work & your own contracts! What an accomplisment not even out of school yet!! Congrats and good luck with finishing this semester & your last part of your last co-op!!
Congrats on landing three weddings this summer, and on graduating in August! The only thing getting me through these next two weeks is knowing that I will be done with class work forever. (I also have a co-op to complete this summer) But anyways, congrats on everything Katie!
