My New Years was rather empowering to say the least, I sat on a tufted leather chair with glass of champagne in hand ready to toast to a fabulous year but I had one regret that unfortunately I cannot take back, I had not taken hardly any photos of my own little family! There were several moments I can think of that I did not go grab my camera and photograph and it makes me sick to my stomach knowing I will not get those moments back. You see, I have gotten to the point that when I pick up my camera, I feel like Im working or need to take different gorgeous photos 24 7 because that is what is expected of me. Don’t get me wrong I absolutely ADORE what I do and feel so completely blessed but I think I have forgotten to just take a moment and remember that its not just a job, its my life, its what I love deeply..
My own New Years resolution is just that, to simply capture my life as well as others.
I was reminded of this after reading a very powerful blog post about a letter that truly validates what I do for a living and for my own sweet family. Please read http://fototails.wordpress.com/2012/01/02/a-letter-on-my-doorstep-portraits-are-more-than-paper/
Happiest of happiest New Years!
