Step Two

Good Afternoon! 

  I am Loving this Spring Weather so far! I had to start of by saying this because if you are living in New England you must be loving it too! Sorry I haven't typed in a while I have been running around a little setting things up and getting ready for this Dream to come alive. Little by little it has been getting better! I am super excited because today I have a meeting with three Phenomenal Women in my life to really give this dream its wings to soar! I know it was hard to admit to this before but I have come to terms I can't do this alone if I want this dream to be more of a reality. I need professional help with this not just the awesome knowledge from my teachers. I want to explore a little more about the Business and Advertising way of things. To really get a sense of things I have done and NEED to do! 

 On this wonderful team of Women I have asked to help me through this is My Matante (other known as my aunt) My Cousin and of course I could do nothing without My Mom. My Matante is the brains of the Business portion. She is a Professor of business classes at a college and that is her profession. She knows her stuff very very well. I know I can tell her everything and she will tell me if my ideas are good or bad. She is always there for me and ever since I said I wanted to be a Photographer she dove in faster then I did! My Cousin is Wonderful! She is the brains of the Advertising portion. She has been working with advertising large companies and she does this for a living. She works hard at everything she does. She too was very excited about me being a photographer and she was my first paying client! And ever since I was in school she told me she would help me whenever I needed her. Last but definitely not least is My Mom she is the brains of a little bit of everything. She is the strongest women I know! I know she will always be there for me! She cares so much about me and my life/future. She is my Best Friend that I can talk to and share everything with. She is my biggest Supporter and I would not be who I am or where I am today without her in my life. 

 With these Wonderful, Beautiful, Very Intelligent, Strong and Courageous Women helping me and on my side I know this Dream will come true! I have never been so excited or felt so blessed to have such amazing people in my life and call them Family! Family is a super big part of my life and without my supportive family cheering me on the whole way I wouldn't get very far. Everything I do I want there honest opinion and they sure know how to do that. I love them all  and Thank you for helping me! 

 I am ready to hear what they have to say and open to every idea they give me! 

 I also want to Thank all the others who Support me and help Expanding The Dream( : You all are awesome in your own ways. 

 Wishing Everyone a Happy Thursday and Enjoy the weather! I leave you with this quote..

Into The New Year We Come

Hello There, 
 I am sorry to those that read this that I haven't been typing very much lately. I have just been a little busy lately. Kind of finding myself I guess you could say. I have been thinking of ways to put my work more out there then just the "Word of Mouth" method I have used since I have been out of school. I love Photography and it is my dream and a passion of mine and I will do any and everything to show my love for this art to the community. I have been trying to find inspiration on ways to put my work more out there and I think I have a couple great ideas. I hope people really see the love I have and feel it in my work. 
 Everything I do when I am behind the camera is very special to me. If I am working with a client I make sure they get everything that they want and more. I want them to be pleased with everything and know I do my best work just for them. I pay attention to every detail and make them feel special and it is there moment to shine. Everyone is special in there way and I love to see that side of them come out while I am taking those special memories. I like to be apart of peoples lives and especially in the special times and celebrations. 
 I will do everything to show people even though I am a young Professional I am serious about my work and I make sure I am happy with my finished work. I make sure everything I do is my very best. 
 This year I am going to make a few changes because in order to get this passion, dream out there and more of a reality I am going to be working hard the next few months. I hope my ideas work because I am very excited about them. I wont let myself down or lose faith. I have been trying hard not to lose myself through this or forget about my dreams. I remind myself I love what I do and I know what I want to do.
 I hope this year I can reach out to more people. Please if you are reading this please help me in expanding this company. 
 Thank you to all those that are following me and helping me follow my dream. Please contact me if you need any photography needs.

Hello World!

Hey There, 
  So I am very sorry I missed the challenge I was just so caught up and it shows how much time I really had and put into my Portfolio for the Phase Four Final. 
  Wow it was crazy, long nights and limited social time. I tried to call my mom as often as I could so she would not worry and so I could let some feelings go. The day I passed my Final in it was sunny and then it started to rain. A nice warm refreshing summer rain! I loved it me and my friend went out and danced in the rain, The feeling of accomplishment, happiness came apon me and there was a huge weight that was lifted. I have never felt like that ever. I guess because to me I am completely done with schooling and I feel like a really big part of my life has ended. And I felt awesome, never been that happy in my life and I really found who I am. During the ten months I did my hardest and put everything into my work. Which is what I wanted and how I wanted to feel by the time i graduated. I wanted to push myself to see how far I can push myself. 
  I am so happy I chose to come to Hallmark and purse my dream, well a big part of my dreams. The rest will be taken care of in the future. As of right now it is me, my photography, family, close friends and my dreams. This was one of the biggest decisions I have made. I would not change a thing about it! The chance to meet awesome and talented individuals. And live in a place that is focused and surrounded by what I love doing. But at the same time knowing I can do this for a living and be this happy all the time! Now thats the life I want to be living. I don't see a reason to ever be upset because I am doing what I love and it makes me happy. I hope it will affect and make other people just as happy and they will know I put my heart and soul into everything. I want only the best for people and I will only give them what I feel is my best. 
  Thank you to all those who have helped me and supported me not only through my school years but also throughout my life. Life is like a roller coaster in some ways with the ups and downs and sudden turns but they are only fun when you have your favorite people having blast along with you...i just made that up. Thank you to those who read this(:

Hey There, 
 I am trying to stay as up to date as I can. Wow it is tough! With school, editing, portrait sessions and my yearning for my social life back! Try balancing all that at once. Well I want to start off by saying I am not as stressed  as the last post. I have calmed down and I am finding myself. Which besides this is school and I am already learning I am really learning more and more about myself in this ten month process. I have reacted my breaking point, found my inner emotions, looking for that strength I know I have and just finding myself.
 Do you really know yourself or do you think you know yourself? I have had many long nights I would stay up late and think. That is all I would do is think. Think about myself and what I want, who I want to be, where I see myself being in the future and how I am going to get there. Many other things but those are the main things. I have noticed a lot about myself through these months. Is that I think way too much! and I never really noticed how much I worry about sometimes silly things. I need to work on  living in the moment and not thinking so much about the future. But I guess that the future is closer then I thought. Because after school I am done with school which means I have to start this business and make it expand. As of June 24 when I graduate I will be the proud owner of JP Photography! It is exciting yet overwhelming at time to think about me Justine Pelletier and 18 year old business owner. I hope that people will take me serious and  know I have a lot of experience, knowledge behind this ever changing field of Photography. I love what I do and I want people to not just think about my age but also see my work. I know that people who are reading this could say I am just 18 and I don't have to worry so much and I have time to figure this out but to me I can't stop thinking/worrying because when things start to end my mind begins to race. I have always been this way even before Hallmark. I mean even going into middle school from elementary school was a big thing. But this is bigger then that because  I am so committed to this school and this basically tells my future. I want to pass and I dedicated everything to come here and I don't get a second chance. Which puts a lot more stress on me. 
 I know what I want and I know I will get there soon! It may not be easy but I will work as hard as I can to get to the point I want to be. And I really am working on myself for me and so others wont be affected by my stress and worrying anymore(:


Till next time~JP Photography
