Default My First Major Success

I just have to share. This is so exciting for me.
I did a newborn shoot for free a few weeks ago, free as in no session fee for porfolio building purposes. I gave her the option to buy any prints at a slight discount.

I just got an email from her and payment by paypal for 92 prints of various sizes
I almost fell off the couch when I read that email. I cannot believe that. She got at least one print of EVERY SINGLE PHOTO that I showed her as a proof from the session.
I am so happy. Seriously. I wish every session would go like that, but I know that it won't.
