Time to believe

After weeks or maybe even years of thinking about it, ive at last thought what have i to lose. so with  plan in place ive finally set off on the long hard road of trying to become a full time photographer,.......i've had to review my skills and my interests and put them to one side and try and understand what sells and what doesnt....
unfortunately im starting off with no money and not enough equipment, but i do have me and a camera.... so ive advertised on a local media site via facebook for help to build my portfolio, offering my services as a novice photographer for free to try and gain a portfolio enabling me to start charging small amounts which to reinvest..... so far i have 5 weddings/ 2 christenings/ 1 party/ 3 business shoots/ 2 model,fashion shoots and a handful of family portraits.... i think thats enough free time to give over th next few months..
