I've discovered that I'm a better photographer when I take time to photograph for myself. When I'm only photographing clients and nothing else, it starts to get to be too much about them. I mean, of course, it has to be about them, to an extent, that's sort of the point (obviously). But I feel sometimes that my creative tank starts to empty, and I need to shoot for myself to be able to recharge that battery (sorry for the mixed metaphor, but you know what I mean..) So I took my 6 year old to the Garden Grove Strawberry Festival for a little bit on Memorial Day. I got to take some shots just because, and I gotta say, I absolutely love them. While we were on the ferris wheel, the couple in front of us was just so adorable and in love, I couldn't help but take some shots of them. I hope they email me like I told them to so I can get these shots to them. Anyway, it's funny how something so easy and simple can refresh your perspective.
Now I'm ready for more. Bring on the clients!!!
(P.S.- You can always click on each photo here on the blog to see it full-sized! Totally worth it- they look better larger. :) )
