Encouraging You to Soar

How many of you have dream of having your own photography business but just don’t know how or where to start, or even the confidence to do it for that matter?  Wouldn’t it be great to feel unrestrained from our own fears to take the leap to get us to where we want to be? 

Me Ra Koh, with the support of some awesome sponsors is affording 3 women to soar into their photography dreams by affording them all the necessary tools with a scholarship. The entrance for this scholarship is a 2 minute video made by you.  Watch Me Ra’s video explaining why she’s doing this and everything this scholarship has to offer.  It’s amazing! 

The deadline to enter is December 21^st and the winner will be announced January 1^st. In the meantime, Me Ra’s website is a great place for photo tips and contests and a great resource for any photographer, so be sure to check it out.  We adore her and her work! And to those who decide to apply for the scholarship, good luck to you! 

 Special thanks to Chris Sneddon for sharing this image, post and the good news with us! You rock Chris!

I'm passing this information on. I've already sent it to one of my good friends who loves photography and tweeted it. I also will link this weekend... or Monday, depending on scheduling... as I talk about some photography based stuff on the blog.

Best of luck to the winners! Can't wait to see who they are!!

Dearest Shutter Sisters,

What a wonderful way to start my day! Tracey emailed and said you were joining us in spreading the word about SOAR! Thank you so much! We hope to reach 800,000 in the next two weeks between Sony, Adobe, SmugMug and a Blog Tour that we are donating to SOAR! I want to make sure that the three women, who were meant to do this, hear about it and get the lucky break that they are so deserving of. If you twitter, join the tweet dialogue by using #SOAR. Little did I know the power of that numbers sybmol. :)

Some have asked about the intensity of the year requirements for SOAR! If your concerned with how to balance motherhood, life, and participating in SOAR! check out the conversation that started yesterday on my Facebook page. My business coach and mentor jumped in, and I was inspired by their wisdom.

If your nervous about making the video submission. Take a deep breath and just be you. I wanted to offer these scholarships b/c I believe who you are is beautiful, no matter what the voices in your head say. The partners involved will become new voices--voices of empowerment and encouragement. But for now, you've got to take the leap and do the video. Just remember, you are worthy of this scholarship. You are worthy of following your dreams. And you are worthy of us all helping you SOAR!

Much love, Me Ra
