Capítulo 41: Chapter 41: TWO YEARS LATER: MOVING ON UP

"I'm so proud of you, Valerie. I can't describe how in awe I am of all you've achieved during the past two years," Dad said with a smile.

Dad and Kayden had converted a small store downtown into my new commercial space. Daryl's support in helping me start my online photography business had been invaluable. I'd had a steady income from some of the most popular shots, and with some bigger sales from the exclusively licensed pictures.

Over the two previous years, I'd bought the best camera equipment I could find, as well as some sophisticated editing software. Along the way, I'd picked up proper studio lighting and cheap photographic backdrops on eBay. By the time my new venture had branched out, I had projection equipment, and was doing video advertising for local companies.
