i am soooo stoked right now!!! You have no idea!!!

so... I got my first paid gig. The family wanted Pictures to send out with their Christmas Cards... So they hired me. They found me through an ad I placed online.

So... I made money doing the shoot, and then prepped the pictures for print. Put them up for print, and moments later, I take a look, and they purchsed...

wait for it...
