Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep....

I have been comtempleing joining this organization since the day I first heard about it, and after what seems like a millions signs I finally applied. This organization has crossed my path at least once a day for the past several months and I just felt like I should be a part of it. I kept telling myself I needed more time to gain experience as a photographer and get more classes knocked out, then I would be ready...skill wise anyway. I still don't know if you can ever be emotionally ready for this, but when the time comes to do a job, you just bite your lip and do it, right. So when you fill out the application, they ask for the level of your skill, a website ( and since I don't technically have one, I put this blog) to showcase your work, and then tell you that your work will be reviewed and you will receive a notification within 6-8 weeks due to the overwhelming amount of applications they have received. Imagine my suprise 2 days later to get a response that not only had I some how submitted 2 applications, but that also I was approved as a affiliated photographer. I guess having 2 apps on file was someones way of making sure that I didn't get lost in the system and putting me where I am supposed to be. I have no idea how I will make it thru my first session, but am in a weird way am looking forward to it. Not that I wish anyone this type of loss, but I think what I am looking forward to is making the memory of their baby last a lifetime. I am so proud to be a part of this organization that helps these parents in their time of need.
