What is your dream?
To do the things that make me happy and to make other people happy!
What is my dream job?
I am in my dream job now as a photographer/artist! I capture people’s personality, feelings and minds, I stop special moments and help create memories that last forever. This makes me feel a bit like a magician and I enjoy this tremendously! I like to concentrate on another person fully and to reveal one’s special beauty in my images. These images then preserve a real part of you. Also, for many women a personal photo shoot is a n exciting and fun way to re-discover their femininity and to gain more self-confidence. I love to be in charge of this! And I love the idea of creating personal works of art for real-life people.
How did you achieve your goal = dream job? / how do you plan to achieve your goal=dream job?
There came a moment in my life when I said to myself that this should be time to start my own business: so that later in life I will not regret that I did not pursue my dream. When you go for something that is really your dream then you are motivated and ready to work hard. I did. And I found my niche. I knew that I want to offer the kind of photography that is not common but based on a chique boutique principle. I am offering my clients extra time and attention they need and process their images in an individual and artistic style. This is exactly what I love doing and there are people who appreciate this!
What is your tip to others concerning the Dream Job / Life?
Think about your goals in life clearly, formulate your goals consciously, define concrete steps to reach your goals, have a written plan! Don’t give up when it does not work out immediately, stay committed.
