Introducing...Beauty Unveiled Photography.

I'm finally starting a photography blog.

So far, I've only posted my photography on facebook, mainly because I wasn't taking it too seriously and I wasn't sure how to actually blog photos, so I just stayed away.

But it's been on my heart lately, to start turning this thing into a photography blog, so here we go. Bear with me as I'm learning. :)


I will say a few things before we get started, though.
As of right now, I am considered a Junior in college, I suppose. I have been attending a junior college in my home town, finishing up my basics, because it was the best way to postpone actually having to choose something to do for the rest of my life.

Well, the past year or so has been really eye-opening. I've discovered that it's ok if I'm not going to school...it doesn't make me a failure. Which has given me SO much freedom. In fact, it's given me so much freedom that I am now no longer enrolled in college, and I'm ok with it.

 So, not having a degree in something doesn't give me a lot of room to find a career. Luckily, right now, I have a great job that I like and will keep until something else comes along. But I don't love it. It's not my dream. And I never thought I would actually get to have my dream..as a career. That just wasn't even a possibility in my mind. For a while, I was going to school, in the process of pursuing a career that I really had no interest in. I was pursuing it, because it would be stable, not enjoyable. I didn't even realize how messed up that was. It just seemed like common sense. Pursue something that will make you money and give you a stable life-style.

Well I hadn't even started pursing it fully yet, and I knew I was going to be miserable. But wasn't that life? Wasn't that the American Dream?

Well screw that. I finally had some friends talk some sense into me and tell me just how awful that sounded and how sad they were that they thought of pursuing my dreams was not even an option in my mind. Only then did I realize how much I had set myself up for a miserable life.

So, with all that being said, I am now starting to pursue photography as a career. I'm just now getting started, and I don't know much. But guess what? I love it. It really is a hidden dream of mine that I just now got to uncover. I don't have intentions of being a full-time photography for a few more years...just like any other career you need knowledge and experience. But that's what I'm gaining now. The experience. It's really scary. I'm not sure why...but it scares me thinking of how much there is the possibility of me failing at this and being stuck at a job that I just tolerate for the rest of my life. But I decided instead of fearing where this could take me, I'm going to start dreaming of where this could take me. It's much more fulfilling and cheerful, don't you think?

So it's an exciting step. And one that I'm happy to share with the blogging world out there. With that being said..I need lots of feedback. Lots and lots of it! Feel free..whether you know much about photography or not..maybe you like the photos better when they're colored and not black and white. Please, just share with me all your opinions. I take criticism very well..in fact I welcome it. And I enjoy encouragement even more ;)

And so, without further adieu, I introduce to you Beauty Unveiled Photography.  I look forward to sharing with you guys a little piece of my dreams with each post.

With love,
Bristee
