Anyway for the past 2 years I have been pursuing my love of photography. Not professionally as I have absolutely no confidence. Recently family and a few friends have asked me to do some for them and I have been so conflicted by the time it has taken and will take to learn what I need to to get to the point when I can do this with confidence and expertise. Anyway, I have had a very rough couple of days tyring to edit a baby session I did recently and feeling like I don't have time patience, or skill for everything let alone anything! AAGGGHH. SOrry to write a novel, butI really just wanted to say, thank you so much for your post. I have been to hundreds of sites and I have never come across one mother/photographer who has let on that she is anything but practically perfect in every way! (it seems) I just came home from COstco where I picked up some prints that didn't turn out exactly like I wanted and my kids were going nuts and I was feeling like there is no way I could do this and then literally I read your post and I know gag- I got teary. Thank you so much for your honesty. I think this is the most I have ever said to you.- Funny, only took me 15 years.

Because I am not being paid, you would think it would not be as stressful, but it is stressful almost every single time for me, because I want them to be pleased with their pictures! I related to what you said in your post. It was like listening to my own voice. I have been terrified of sunlight recently and what you said gave me some confidence to just keep trying. Thank you for thinking of all of us who are trying!Deb Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10398457001147759699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929938354143991913.post-76434047153985944242008-11-04T14:15:00.000-08:002008-11-04T14:15:00.000-08:00Thanks for your words of encouragement.

You really have an amazing talent, you know your technical stuff, your AMAZING with light, you know your processing, but most of all, you are incredibly creative and artistic, your images ALWAYS capture emotion, and that's why I love your work so much! Not too mention how chill you are in shoots, I really admire that. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us!!!

I can totally tell from your pictures and style that you know what you are doing with lighting and posing, etc. but then you let go and still have fun with it.

These pictures, while they may not be 'technically'(who even made these 'technical rules' anyways?) perfect, ARE perfect! They capture so much raw emotion! I feel like I was there with you, and that's what we should strive to capture - life! I think these are amazing - and yes....I'm pretty sure I'll continue to stalk you...tee hee!<BR/>CelesteCelestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440259782201716803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1929938354143991913.post-66549879653280755452008-11-03T19:07:00.000-08:002008-11-03T19:07:00.000-08:00Haley...thank you so much for this post.

I am a mother and have decided to become a photographer as well. I have been struggling a little (with confidence and such) and have been praying as to if it's right for me. And I want to say thank you for your inspiring words and encouragement...an answer to my prayers. I acutally have my first real photo session this weekend with a family i don't know, so thanks for helping me to remember why I'm doing this!
