(READ FOR EXPLANATION IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE I HAVE BEEN)
About 5 years ago, I stopped picking up my camera, without ever really giving an explanation why. So I guess thats what this is.
Throughout the past few years, I have thought about photography EVERY day, no joke. As much as I wanted to just pick up my camera and start again, I was dealing with a lot mentally and was at a constant battle with my own brain and insecurities telling me that I can't do it and i'm not good enough, doubting myself and comparing myself to other people. Eventually one thing led to another and I was unable to face doing the one thing that I loved so I deleted my old page (Formally Kaitlin Jade Photography) and stopped taking photos.
However over the past year, because of some of the best people in my life supporting and encouraging me to jump back in, giving me creative freedom on projects and most importantly time, I picked up my camera again.
It felt like I had never stopped, only this time I started feeling PROUD of myself and the art I was creating. It reminded me of the first photoshoot I ever did, granted I have learned a lot since then (and I still have a lot to learn now).
So with all that being said, I'm really happy to be posting this now from a much better place and to be starting over so I can continue proving to myself and people that may have doubted me over the years that this is my passion and I can do anything I put my heart into.
I feel as if I have rambled enough, if you made it this far, I salute you.
Hopefully see you through the lens soon.
