Some days behind the camera feel like a grind. You’re shooting, editing, posting, but none of it lights you up the way it used to.

It’s easy to get stuck following trends, trying to please everyone or just going through the motions. When that happens, your work stops feeling like yours, and the joy that drew you to photography in the first place starts to fade.

Taking some time to reflect and be more intentional is a way to reconnect with your artistic voice and the kind of work that truly excites you. It’s how you start creating images that feel alive, intentional and YOURS.

Who’s struggled with feeling stuck in an uninspired routine?

Success in photography isn’t measured by how many sessions you squeeze into a month, how many photos you post, or whether your grid is one matching color scheme… but you know this don’t you 😉

It’s measured by the freedom you carve out for your life, the confidence you have in your work, and the clients who value the unique photos only YOU can create.

When you start sharing work that truly excites you, stop worrying about blending in, and starting pricing yourself for what you’re worth, that’s when you’re truly successful.

You attract clients who are genuinely excited to work with you, and you finally get to enjoy the work you live to create.

If you’re ready to stop guessing and start showing a portfolio that actually works for you, grab my freebie, Portfolio Power, by commenting “POWER”.

It’ll help you clarify your vision, showcase your best work, and attract the clients you love.

It might feel backwards as a business owner, but deterring clients is a GOOD thing. 🙌

Not every person who stumbles across your page is meant to book with you, and that’s exactly how it should be.

When you only share the images that make you glow, the ones that excite you and truly represent the work you love creating, you’re sending a clear message. This is who I am as an artist, and this is the work I want to create.

The people who connect with that, will show up ready to trust you, follow your vision, and pay for the experience and artistry that only YOU can deliver.

And the ones who don’t, weren’t your people anyway. That’s okay!

Sharing less, but sharing what lights you up, isn’t limiting. It’s how you start booking clients that inspire you and making the work you actually love.

I see so many photographers getting stuck trying to fit every session into the same “perfect feed” formula. The family shows up, the kids are messy, someone’s wearing stripes or mismatched colors, and suddenly we panic, thinking the photos won’t be aesthetic enough.

But in reality, those “imperfect” moments, those bold colors, and that energy are what make the photos sing.✨

One of my best and most memorable sessions involved the youngest daughter insisting on wearing leopard print shorts with a mismatched shirt, and instead of it detracting from the session, it added life and personality to it in the BEST way.

When you let go of trying to make every shot match your grid, you start seeing the beauty in the family’s real story. Parents relax, kids act like themselves, and the images feel real and alive.

Your style isn’t about constraining your clients, it’s about lifting their story up and showing it in a way only you can. That’s the kind of work that leaves families thrilled and with memories that last.

There is immense value in slowing down and leaving space for your clients to be who they are.

When we constantly show up with our own agenda, projecting our own visions, wardrobe aesthetics and perfect poses onto the families we’re working with, we’re missing it.

We are missing the beauty that lies within the honesty of our clients’ lives and replacing it with something else - something that’s more likely to get featured or something that’s going to look nice in our IG grid.

And that’s NOT IT, friends.

You haven’t been given the gift of photography so that you can be featured here or there or create a perfect Instagram grid. You haven’t been given this gift so that you can be praised by others.

You’ve been given a gift so that you can serve others and bring to light the true and honest beauty that already exists within them.

So at your next session, take a moment to get to know who you’re photographing and what you could do to prioritize letting their truth seep through in their images.

Drop a 💛 in the comments if you’re going to try it!

I used to think I needed to appeal to every family with a camera budget. My Instagram was a highlight reel of “safe” shots that could literally belong to anyone.

Golden hour families “candidly” giggling in a field, check.
Newborn snuggling with mom, check.
Couple lovingly gazing into one another’s eyes, check.

All the while, every single inquiry I received started the same, “Hi! What are your prices?”

Not “We love your style.”
Not “Your work feels so much like us.”
Just…what’s this gonna cost me and can you make it cost less?

What I wish I’d known at the time is when you try to speak to everyone, you end up speaking to no one. When your work looks like it could have come from literally anyone, why would anyone book you instead of someone with a lower price tag?

The moment I got brave enough to post work that felt unmistakably MINE, even if it scared me, even if it wasn’t “perfect” opened my eyes. My inbox stopped filling with price shoppers and instead to people saying “We’ve been following you for months and we HAVE to work with you.”

Your dream clients aren’t out there comparing session fees. They’re looking for the photographer who gets them, who sees what they see, who creates the kind of images that excites and lights them up.

Stop hiding behind safe choices. Your people are waiting for you to show up as yourself.✨
