Just a quick reminder for all my fellow photographers:
x
IT’S NOT ABOUT YOU.
x
Sure, you’re trying to run a business (and kill it, at that) and make a living and I GET THAT. ME TOO.
But honestly? This isn’t really about us.
x
When we shoot and pose our clients, are we fully invested in capturing THEIR story? …or getting our “feature-worthy” shot?
If you shot your “dream” client/wedding/shoot and couldn’t share any of the images, would you still be as PUMPED for the clients/shoot/photos
x
Look, I get it. Sharing your work is huge. It’s a part of what we do as creatives. It’s natural. There’s nothing inherently wrong with loving to share work we’re proud of…
x
All I’m asking today is this:
Have we become so focused on getting praises, comments, likes, accolades from social media… that our entire focus before, during, and after a shoot or wedding is what OTHER people will think, INSTEAD OF THE CLIENTS WHOSE STORY WE’RE CAPTURING?!
x
SO WHAT if it’s not Dirty Boots + Messy Hair worthy
SO WHAT if it won’t hit 1,000 likes on Looks Like Film
x
If we’ve authentically captured the beauty + love of our couple’s relationship and told their story fully, deeply, masterfully… THEN WHAT ELSE MATTERS?!
x
This is about your clients. This is about their story. This is about loving and serving ing them. This is about giving them incredibly beautiful, professional-quality memories that they can relive, cherish, enjoy, and hand down as a legacy for years to come.
x
This ISN’T about gaining more followers. It’s not about features. It’s about giving it your BEST, serving your clients, and telling their story with everything that’s within you.
x
okay. I think I’m done. I’ll get off my soap box now. (And fyi, I struggled with this mindset battle for my first few years as a photographer. I’ve been there so many times. I’m in this with you, my friend!)
x
Who’s with me Leave a “holla!!!” If you agree?!

This is where we were this past Monday! Monday's ain't that bad, right?⠀
-⠀
Remember what we talked about in yesterdays caption? About not comparing yourself to others on social media. Well, guess what we are doing today.. Both Danée and I have our booties parked in front of our computers. We are catching up on emails, loading memory cards, editing photos (LOTS AND LOTS OF PHOTOS), and recharging batteries to prepare for tomorrows wedding. ⠀
-⠀
Sounds pretty glorious, right? It ain’t bad! ;) Thankful to do what we love with the person that we love most. ⠀
