nuff said.
but, then this wouldn’t be a becky post if I didn’t go into at least some of the things in my heart..right? I just gotta.
I think most of you know that I am not in business. Just not the right time in my life, I guess. One day maybe. But, I still LOVE taking pictures. (there’s no rule you have to be in business to have a photography blog, right?) Phew!
I love each day trying to perfect this craft. This passion that has filled my soul with such happiness. Not mommy me or wife me, not friend me, but ME- me. The girl who loves pasta. Who has an automatic smile when she wakes up to rain. The lady who laughs at all her husbands jokes (funny or not – she loves him a lot). The girl who feels free and invigorated when she does yoga. The girl who when she feels embarrassed plays with her hair. The woman who loves many. The woman who knows she is a daughter of God. That woman who just loves taking pictures. And she (okay, not sure why I am typing in third person still)…I…love LOVE love sharing it with you.
The ART is not perfect- far from it. There’s mistakes, there’s bad days. There are days when I think, I have no right to take one more picture.
But then I remember that this is a journey. A journey that is far from anything claiming to be perfect. Far from anything claiming to know everything. Nobody does. It’s supposed to be filled with days that are discouraging and disheartening. It’s supposed to make you frustrated. Those moments, days, hours, months, years, make us better photographers. Better people.
I guess what I am saying is to never give up. Press on through those hard days when you can’t seem to do anything right. Hold on, just a little bit longer.
Why am I posting this? Not sure. I guess we all need reminders. We all need a hug and a reassuring word. So this is me hugging you and giving a nice little swat on your behind to get back in the game. To start over tomorrow. To shoot for you and love what you do.
I think this was for me too.
{hugs}
mmmmkay, enough mushy stuff.
I was invited to join some awesome photographers in Salt Lake to shoot some high school seniors. They were a blast. They are in drama. They knew how to work it, ya’ll!!
So here are two of them. Two beautiful, young, good hearted high school seniors who just really ROCK.
ps- I used Off camera flash for all of them except for the ones in the alley of the handsome Paul.
Thanks for looking and listening to me babble.
Chisses!
