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.

 Sorry I haven't written in a while I have been super busy with my new job and of course Photography! I haven't had much time but I am gonna put aside time so I can write. I hope I have people reading this because I feel it is not only for me to type this to inform my clients and followers about my business but also just so you can get a feel for what I do and if you are interested in my work you can get to know me a little better. 
 I have recently been staying in Vermont for work and I love it here. It is very pretty with the Fall Foliage coming. And I am still doing many pictures in MA so if you live in MA I have not forgotten about you and don't hesitate to ask me about Portrait needs I would be more then happy to do them!

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

Frustration

Hey There, Well it seems I messed up the challenge but I am working on it. I have been busy with school. SO BUSY! There is a lot going on like classes, my final and social life, well I can't really add that because I don't have a social life anymore. When I started going to this school and people said the program went by fast I didn't believe them...well I should have listened to them. Because this program was a lot more then what I set out for. I mean I know I will do all i can to pass and not give up but damn this is exhausting! Losing sleep, eating whenever possible and at time I have to think "Am I still breathing?" I am trying to find the inner strength to really give me that push and boost I need to keep going but it is drifting away. But I remember that I am going here for my future and start my business. I love what I do and I always know that whatever happened's in life I will have my business/photography. I know this is short and sweet but I have to go sleep. Maybe tonight I will be well rested instead of waking up thinking and worrying! 


until next time~fierce and love~JP Photography

Time

Hey There,
 Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I have been so busy with School, Shooting and Family and Friend Things. Things have been crazy for me since I am almost done with school and I have been very stressed with that and other things. I didn't notice until now how expensive this business really is! Wow it is overwhelming! I have been staying at the school later and trying to keep busy. But for the most part I am doing well. I have 19 more days until this final is due and everyday i am going to post something! Weather it is just a paragraph or a couple sentences but this is my challenge for rest of the days I have left! I had to come up with a 27 image portfolio by June 1 2011 and I have 8 more I need done. We have a criteria i have to follow and it seemed like a lot but as I started going  I figured this wasn't as hard as I thought. I went to an instructor this morning to show him my test prints and I made sure I asked him to be brutally honest about my work and I thought I would leave his office crying but I got a better response. He said I needed some minor adjustments and over all he liked the images I had and he would have passed me(: I was happy to hear this because I guess I am a little hard on myself about my work because I didn't think it was that great, maybe because I stare at it way too long everyday. But it was nice to hear that. 


 I have been in classes all day and then I am going home to my Mom's tonight. I have shoots tomorrow and Sunday. So I will be editing for the rest of the week and if everything goes as planned I will be getting four more shots for my portfolio done! YAY! so then I will need four more then done. With just enough time if  I need to reshoot something. I hope that wont happen, I will make it so I wont have too. 

 Other then school I am ok. Sort of stressed. When things start to end like school or anything I have been working on for a long time I start to worry and think a lot about what will happen in the future, what I will be doing, MONEY is a big thing, and my mind just wont stop going on and on. I know I don't have to really think so in depth on these subjects but I do. I try not to but it is difficult when my future is important and I know what I want to do and I can picture what I want it to be doing, but getting there is my problem. I didn't really start noticing this until I talk to a couple different people about it. They made me realize it, what I was doing and how I tend to act different.  Which I hate that I don't want it to mess with my everyday life and affect other people. Because it is different talking about but taking it out on other people. I guess I am more committed to this then I thought meaning school and my business. 


 I have a class next so I should be going! Thank you for reading! Let me know what you think!


xoxo~fierce and love~until next time
