It was one year ago. I took the first official step to make my dreams come true! I made Melodi Photography real! I was so happy but super scared at the same time.

Having a business requires so much commitment. I knew  that.

So many questions in my mind.. How to do this? How to do that?…

Then I figured that “business” is truly a whole different specialty. And I need to wear way too many different hats including accountant, book keeper, website creator, social media whiz,  branding dude, customer service expert, etc. And PHOTOGRAPHER!!

How am I gonna handle everything by myself? What if I can’t do it? What if I fail? …

I knew that I need to work so hard and try my best.

In the last one year, I used almost every single moment not only to develop this business but also to improve myself in photography field. It was a pretty busy year.

In the meantime, I had a baby too. (Have I mentioned that I found out that I’m pregnant only one week after starting the business?) :) It was a total surprise!! I have to accept that I had really mixed feelings back then. I was so happy about the big news, but not so happy at the same time…

Now it’s been a year! ONE entire year!!

Of course I had up and downs along the way. But I’m so happy that I’m doing it!! Even though I can’t make all of my ideas/plans come true yet, (I have to survive as a mom too, right?) I feel like I’m getting there. At least I have started and I’m lucky to have great people in my life who support me all the time: My loving husband, wonderful friends and great clients.

THANK YOU ALL!

Seriously, I wouldn’t have done it without the love and support of you all!

Much Love,

Ipek
