Let Go of Labels and Invest in Your Craft

Isn't it funny how our perceptions of ourselves can change over time?⁠

For the first half of my career, I would tell my clients (and myself) that I was a natural light photographer exclusively. ⁠

I was SO invested in that label. But what I now know is when I would say "I'm a natural light photographer" I was really saying "I'm scared" "I don't know how to do anything else" and "what if I try and fail".⁠

Now I just see myself as a photographer... no label required. ⁠

If I'm in a room with great natural light, not a problem... I know how to work with that. And if I'm in a room with horrible light, or even no light at all... well, also not a problem, I can work with that too.⁠

Letting go of the labels and just investing the time to get really good at my craft transformed my confidence and my career. ⁠

If I could go back in time, I would tell myself to stop making it so hard. Stop surrendering to the fear and self doubt. Stop clinging to the labels. ⁠

Life is too short for all of that anyway.⁠

I want to say the same to you.⁠

Are you clinging to labels and beliefs that are holding you back? If so, I'm challenging you to let them go... ⁠

And if you are ready to tackle something new, I’d like to invite you to sign up for my FREE webinar. In it I share the 3 myths that hold so many photographers back in their work and business, as well as my simple framework for creating natural looking light with strobes and flash.
