If you have been a victim of Internet bullying or bullying in your type of specialty I hope you can take something away with you in this post. Even if you have been bullied in a relationship or bullied in school this is for YOU!
:)
If you've been a victim of bullying you are tough as nails! You are the strongest person you can be to withstand a bully. I seriously applaud you for keeping on and keeping your composure!
You are an amazing and smart person.
You are nothing of what the bully says.
You are a KIND hearted loving person.
You keep reminding yourself of that and I promise what the bully says will have little affect on you.
I know some of you reading this are thinking ... "What? There's bullies in the photography industry?"
The answer to that is YES.
It is a very sad reality. But in anywhere , any place all over the world there sadly are still bullies.
Let me tell you about a bully. Bullies are WEAK. Bullies usually are jealous. It all stems from jealousy.They like to pick on people they spend much of their time gossiping rather than uplifting people.
We are a victim of bullying.
We have endured it for so long.
There has been times we have said we will quit. (There was one time we did quit for 9 months!!!!) But then our business becomes blessed more and more.
We've been gossiped about because our editing... Because our pricing.... Because we do giveaways.... Because we have a lot of clients.... Because we're photographers in the same general area.
I know.... It's crazy.
None of the stuff that has been said about us is true and I keep reminding myself that through all the tears. We would not be blessed as much as we are if we were so sinister as some portray us to be.
You should remind yourself too that the stuff your bully says is NOT true to keep on keeping on and lean on GOD. He will guide you and your business. He will give you blessings upon blessings.
We've raised our prices recently
And at first I thought no one would continue to come to us and book with us. But guess what?! We are getting tons of clients ! Even with our new pricing.
All we can do is THANK GOD for his blessings!
Photography to me is not about the money. It is about the friendships with clients and other photographers (the money is just a PLUS)
A big thing for us as photographers is GIVING BACK . Giving back to the community so we do a few giveaways every year. It is so very important in my opinion to be involved in your community and donate.

Getting off subject a bit there lol so I just want to share some scriptures and quotes with you to help you . These have helped me so much!
And I hope they will help you too.
You are NOT ALONE
There are good people in the world and GOD LOVES YOU!!!
You do YOU
You keep doing your own thing and you keep that business alive! You keep being nice and true and God will continue to BLESS you! I promise he will.
