:lol:

Besides the wedding I've been complaining about :).....I have done several portraits and just been waiting for the orders to come in for prints and my first one just did.... I just had a mom order $110 worth of prints of her children's portraits....

I know, its not that much....but it does tell me that she liked my photographs...which is encouraging sometimes!

Congratulations.

I just started filling "real" orders too. And let me tell you, noone in the history of money has ever been so happy about $60.

lol....Yes, it is nice to know that you aren't the only one who likes your photographs isn't it? Its really nice to make people happy too. I love that I can provide a family with an alternative style of portraits and have them be completely excited about it and not having to go to Sears for the traditional (boring) shots! :)

It's also nice to have a little $$ coming back to help satiate the addiction!

Yes, I think some of these were Christmas gifts too.

Feels good doesn't it!

I did a free 50th anniversary, multiple family group, Sr. picture, just-got-married-a-couple-of-weeks-ago-and-was-too-stupid-to-have-pictures-taken, so I could try out my new 10D. Received a $400 tip and have been selling extra prints to some of the people involved over the last couple of months. Some of them are now ordering pictures for Christmas.

I can see some definite possibilities here.
