Becoming Real

We've been talking and talking about making a move to create a 'real' photography business for quite some time.  In keeping with what I've learned in the Velveteen Rabbit, love is what makes something real. 

I'm not sure at what point a business becomes real or if any reputable school of business would cite the Velveteen Rabbit for guidance in this matter.  I am sure that we've finally made the leap to invest in better equipment, launch this blog, freshen up the website and take steps to make what we love more than just a financially draining hobby. 

What do we love?  We love how easy and how hard photography can be.  We love capturing memories.  We love sharing our photos with family and friends.  We love the relationships we share with those in our pictures. 

To me, that's real.
