This is a bit of a personal post:
So I have been in a struggle when it comes to my photography journey. I was doing well when I was in California. Then in 2013 we moved to Fort Worth, Texas, where I discovered that the city (especially where I was first living) was super saturated with "photographers", or I should say moms with cameras trying to make a quick buck. I was so discouraged by all of it. I know that I am a good photographer, my work shows it. I have worked hard to get where I am. I know my worth and I know that the clients I want are going to pay my prices. Ya'll know the saying "Good photography ain't cheap and cheap photography ain't good", you get what you pay for.
I lost all confidence in my craft because I was not getting business. I was shutting myself down and building a wall of disappointment. I was struggling with the fact that there are way too many "fauxtographers" out there.
So now:
I will hold my head up.
I will put myself out there.
I will show my work to the world.
I will create great memories for the walls of my clients.
I will not give up.
