Wanna Know This Episode in One Quote? I’ve Got You!
“With social media, it can be be very easy to compare yourself to others and, when we get in a creative fog, it can be really difficult to pull yourself out of it. Creative fogs, though, are kinda just part of the job:. They’ll be times where you feel really inspired, times where you feel like your hand is basically just a camera, and times where you don’t even know what kind of posing or editing you like.
And y’all! That is totally okay! At its heart, photography is a vulnerable experience. It’s okay that that might impact you every once in a while. And honestly? It’s kinda expected! And as a long term photographer / photography mom? I’m here to tell you that you CAN get through any creative fog ever.”
