You know what's scary? Posting on social media 🤣
I'm a chronic over-thinker, which is why I went from posting fairly regularly when I started to like .. well not. WE DON'T TALK ABOUT IT, OKAY?! 🫣 But every time I want to post, I have this little voice in the back of my head screaming (sometimes complete nonsense), "Algorithm! Reels! Stories! Don't forget you call to action! Oh, that's too long, no one is going to read that .. or care. Umm also, you haven't posted in 3 weeks, so no one is going to see this. Post more. Be relatable. You're too weird. That's waaaay too many emojis together. Have you advertised your minis? Gosh, alllll you've posted is your minis! No one is going to know you do other stuff." You get the jist.
Here's the thing: I am weird. Anyone who's been around me or worked with me knows I am super weird, (almost always) awkward, I talk too much or too little, start making random references or break into song with no warning, annnnd .. that's kind of what makes me awesome? 🤷♀️
I will get excited about a log and think climbing on it will be the best story ever. I do think getting messy makes memories. And I love doing new things. Especially with animals. I will get distracted and play with your pet - no shame. I love colour and sunsets and capturing in between moments when everyone FINALLY ignores me and the camera. I love details and throwing things in black and white when I've spent 30 minutes on fixing the colour and it isn't working (true facts). And I will 100% forget at least one person't name until I've said it 4 times during a session if it's the first time I'm meeting you. I'M SO SORRY!! 😭
So ya, I'm ignoring every mentor and other photographer out there telling me how to be "professional" and "successful" and just .. doing my thing. If a post flops, it flops. People who genuinely like me and my work will hopefully see it one way or another this way. And just maybe, if you're one of those people, you'll want to book with me to have fun and create some magic 💛
Does this mean I'm posting more regularly? 🤣🤣🤣 I make ZERO promises. But! I will be worrying less about if my post is perfect and what my "target audience" is, and more about whether it tells the story and stays true to my people. Because without any of you, I wouldn't get to do this. So thank you!!
PS: I do still have one mother's Day mini spot this Saturday at 2:15 pm. And it's going to be inside, but about you and your children (or your mom! You can do that! You can totally book a session for your mom and yourself/siblings! 🤯)
PPS: I'm also going to post whenever I want to again because scheduling is for holidays (which I will 100% tell you about later ..)
