I want to take a moment to apologize for my insensitive post yesterday afternoon regarding prom photos. I took advantage of some photos posted by a friend and hurt them in the process. I have since apologized and updated my blog. After much reflection and pain I have come to some thoughts I wanted to share. Yes, I am posting this at 1:30 in the morning…I just can’t sleep. I think one of the biggest challenges of being a photographer is the great amount of pressure you feel from the photography world. Its easy to see all these wonderful images via your Facebook news feed and instantly begin to compare and critique. I am no exception. I compare myself to other photographers every day. I critique my work and I am harsh. I am learning that my photography art does not define who I am even though there are days that I believe this lie. I am also learning that I cannot bend to the pressure of trying to fill my schedule every weekend and if I don’t then I am a failure. Seriously, I need to learn to trust that the right clients will come at the right time. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have had to take pictures the past few years. I hope this photography adventure continues to grow and that I will find joy in the process.
