Day One Hundred&Forty

What a great night.
I had the fantastic opportunity to sit in on a meeting with Videographer, Paul Rogers, and Photographer, Jasmine Star. The main focus for the meeting was "branding" yourself as a photographer. You want potential clients to buy YOU. YOU are your own brand.
Which got me thinking...
I'm not sure who I am. How am I going to build a successful photography business if I don't even know who I am? Who I REALLY am... Not who that person or this person thinks I should be. Who I am. Plain and simple.
So starting today, I am on a journey to figure that out. For my blog today, instead of having stats for a photo, I am going to just list random things, stats if you will, about myself. The things I know for sure right now.
Take them or leave them.
This is Me.
Here goes.
-I know the photo above is blurry but I don't care because I like the way I look in it.
-I am terrified of the storm outside. Especially since I am alone.
-I love colorful things, especially if they are outside.
-I like to play in the dirt.
-I am lazy and love my bed.
-I am completely content with looking for four leaf clovers for HOURS. If you don't want to, you can come back for me later.
-Live music and a good beer equal a great night.
-My family is my life. My rock. Especially my Mom.
-I like schedules, but sometimes don't keep to it.
-I want to be more independent.
-I am head over heels in love with office supplies, veggie trays, and chapstick.
-I only like rain if it is warm.
-I have social anxiety (amongst other sorts of anxiety).
-I am afraid to speak my mind because I am terrified it will be the wrong thing. (Sounds dumb, working on that.)
-I am emotional, even when it comes to a good cup of coffee.
-I have a broken heart.
-I believe that Laughter makes the world go round. (and cute puppies help too)
-I am passionate. Passion IS my Passion.
-I am a freak and I absolutely love it.
There ya go. A few things about me. If you made it this far in my post, Thank You for reading... I appreciate all of you for hanging by me and loving me for me, even if none of us are quite sure who that is. Soon, very soon, I will figure me out. This excites me greatly.

Love,
BaylieMarie
Baylie B.
Bailes
Rea
or just Marie.
