Word for word.<br /><br />I still feel this. Especially when it comes to weddings.<br />And yes! All it takes is one experience to send you reeling, so that you never want to pick up your camera again. At least not for anyone but yourself.<br /><br />Weddings. sigh. grumble. <br />I did two last summer and I have another two (possibly a third) booked for this summer. And the only reason I am doing them is because they pay well. They are so exhausting and stressful, and the editing time? Oh my god. Did I mention they were stressful? I know a day is coming, and it's not far off, when I will turn away from them. <br /><br />I am fiercely protective of my photography business. I never EVER want it to feel like work. I want to do portraits because I love doing portraits, and because it is another creative outlet. This is why I don't advertise. I get jobs as they come in through word of mouth, and that way I can pace myself, do one job at a time, and enjoy them. But weddings are a whole other can of worms. (maybe worms wasn't the best choice of words when it comes to weddings?)<br /><br />Sorry for all the rambling. I know just how you feel. Perhaps if we only take on a little bit, only as much as we feel we can keep a good balance... maybe that is the solution? And also making sure that we go out and take photos just for ourselves a good deal of the time. (Your one photo a day challenge is starting to look kind of good. hm.)<br /><br />End of ramble.<br />sorry.Jaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803308252202460126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11996431.post-86317173134846369202013-12-13T10:28:44.170-04:002013-12-13T10:28:44.170-04:00i considered for awhile doing portrait photograph...i considered for awhile doing portrait photography because everyone said i should and because my photos of my girls were so good, and i stressed over it and then i thought no.....i want to pick up the camera when the muse hits and not because i have to...Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12361318187755186703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11996431.post-80936883588725541112013-10-19T23:48:46.164-03:002013-10-19T23:48:46.164-03:00I have been away from my blog for a while.
