Being a photographer isn’t always easy.

It’s not always beautiful.

It’s not always what it seems.

These days have been filled with “inadequate-so-not-worth-it” ambiguous feelings. I wonder if I’m the only photographer that feels this way at times. Sometimes I feel that it’s impossible that I’m alone in this. Other times, I feel like I am completely alone.

This can be a complicated field.  A photographer must pour their hearts into their camera, into their images, into their art… and then they have to put a price on it. And then they have to turn down clients. And then they have clients turn them down. There will always be someone better, someone cheaper, someone that gives out discs with the session, someone worth it… so those “inadequate-so-not-worth-it” ambiguous feelings cloud a photographer’s heart ever so often. Or maybe, it’s just me.

No matter what it is, it requires commitment to pursue your passion, despite the naysayers.  It requires commitment to stay on your path in the face of discouragement. Even when you aren’t sure if you, yourself, are convinced, it requires commitment.

I wanted to let you know about an auction that I am hosting on my facebook page. The proceeds are going to be donated to baby Easton. If you haven’t heard of Easton’s story, you can read it here: http://www.indiegogo.com/SAVEBABYEASTON

Please take a moment to click the “join me on facebook” tab above and check out the auction. Maybe even bid or hit share. Remember, this is for a baby in need. And well, on a much smaller perspective, this is something that makes me feel “worth it”.

Smiles and lots of love,

Taylor
