It's been over a year since I took a new client. Yep, you read that right.
Between being very sick throughout my pregnancy + having a baby who is exclusively breast-fed it just wasn't in the cards. I struggled immensely because my photography was really taking off, I was comfortable with my skills and the social aspect of meeting new people.
Fast forward to today and I'm having to start over- get over the anxiety that comes with putting yourself out there. I took a new client who did her homework on photographers in the area and CHOSE me. She had no idea I was on a hiatus. She had no idea I was an absolute wreck preparing mentally for our session. It was a match made in photo heaven- I couldn't have picked a better family to jump back into it with. I was quickly reminded WHY I do this and that I CAN do this.
If you're second guessing yourself, DON'T. If you're thinking about quitting, DON'T. I made up every excuse to just stay home with my babies- but I realized that I NEED this creative outlet. Find your outlet and run with it- find people who will push you and remind you that you have what it takes.
