Well it has been a long, wonderful weekend! We are so thankful for a day off tomorrow! And as for celebrating with Max and Kelsey on Saturday -- what an amazing day for us! Thank you Max and Kelsey for letting us capture your moments together -- you are just so sweet! We can't wait to share more!
We live in a "microwave" generation. The world is at our fingertips and it seems that waiting for anything can almost be unbearable these days. And so I just want to say thank you to my clients who wait so patiently for their wedding photos. All photographers are different, but most of my wedding clients receive their photos within six weeks of their wedding. That can seem like a lot of time to some, or maybe not so much to others. Either way, thank you for waiting. This gives me the opportunity to carefully select the best images, work diligently to edit those images, write a blog post, prepare them for print and package your photos. Among this, I am also photographing other weddings, editing other sessions, responding to emails and phone calls, and simply trying to run a business well. Sometimes it can all feel a bit overwhelming, and I put a lot of pressure on myself to get things done quickly. Yet I am learning that a job well done, often takes time. So again, thank you, thank you!
And because this couple is busy waiting for their photos, I wanted to show them what I have been working on. A full blog post of this wedding is coming up next week.
Much Love and Happy Weekend! K and K
We have three more weddings this year and then we are finished for 2011... What an amazing wedding season! Each year, we learn so much. With every weddding, we continue to see what we love and where we can improve. Wedding photography is ever changing -- there are always places to grow, always something up and coming in this industry. And yet, the same is true with life. Life is always changing. The culture around us never stays the same and moves at an incredibly fast pace. It always has, and it always will. The challenge for all of us, lies in accepting our circumstances while also pressing forward to what is ahead.
There will always be tension in these two places. Acceptance and Ambition.
It is something that we wrestle with quite often. Kenny and I realize there is a lot to keep up with and a lot more we want to do, yet there are only twenty-four hours in a day. We have to know what we are striving for. And we have to accept where we are. If we look around and compare ourselves to others, than our vision becomes blurred. This is what we are learning.
God has a purpose for all of us, and no two lives are the same. We will all make a difference in this world, in very different ways. Discover your passions and talents and hold fast to the things that God places on your heart. Look forward. Otherwise, you may find yourself looking around, trying to keep up, and only growing tired and ineffective.
Not sure where this post came from today. This is always a season of reflection for me, as we look to the new year while also finishing strong right now.
Ok and I had to post some of my new favorite portraits from the wedding I am working on right now. I only had a few moments with Ashley, before her wedding ceremony, but isn't she stunning? The rest of her wedding will be blogged later this week.
Much Love Friends! K
