Senior Pictures
Meet Kimi. A high school senior, set to go off to college to study nursing.
She was a delight. So cooperative. Poor girl - I'd ask her to sit on the ground and she would, all the while peeking around to see if there were any bugs ready to attack.
I had to chuckle as she'd do this nervous glance thing just to make sure nothing was climbing towards her. We spent about an hour together and I'm really pleased with the results of her photo shoot. My 2nd so far.
So this past week I got somewhat caught up on my photography class and have also been pouring over photography books I've checked out from the library. I really am loving the learning of something new. Growing creatively.
I have to say that this week I got a bit discouraged as I surfed the world.wide.web and saw so many AMAZING photographers. I started to go down the 'compare road' and that got me nowhere but feeling no good. Thinking things like "I'll never be that good" or "Do I even have a remote possibility to make this work?" You know, all those things that are rooted in fear ...
The good news is I snapped out of that wrong thinking fairly quickly and realized that I have to cut myself some slack. I am JUST starting this whole thing ... I have to give myself some time to learn ... A lot of time actually. I have to start at the bottom and work my way up....
It the meantime, I continue to be SO excited about the possibilities ahead. I keep saying to God, "I'm gonna walk on through these doors and will continue to hope and dream and lay them in Your hands."
And I'll do my work on my end and I'll let Him show me His ways on His end. And we'll just wait and see what the future holds.
