Finding My Photographers Voice…AKA Be a Gucci not a Goochie

I just got back from the most incredible vacation. My husband and I spent a week at an amazing all inclusive resort in Turks & Caicos. What I love about my vacation time is the time I get to spend reflecting on my life, my family, and my business. One thing that really spoke to...

Thank you so much for this! It was a good read, and I’m excited about that q&a I’m sure I’ll take you up on that! ;)

Lisa, what a wonderful post – thankyou for sharing your thoughts, and such true sentiments!

Wonderful post!! I also make a conscious effort to not follow local photographers work. I don’t want to be inspired by a shoot they’ve done at a location that’s familiar to me, and I don’t want to be jealous if they have certain successes that I don’t have (say, if they get featured in a local magazine or something, etc). And I totally agree about not buying too much stuff! I really have to hold myself back b/c there are so many great prop/hat designers out there, tons of posing guides, and workbooks to spend money on!!

Thank you for that Lisa. I really needed that this morning. Your son is absolutely adorable and your work is always stunning!

Thank you so much Lisa for posting this! I am just finishing up my first year of photography and have found myself feeling some of the same things you have written about! Very encouraging!

OMW! How adorable is that little guy!? They are sooo perfect, that photo makes me miss my little guy so much now I can’t wait to get home this afternoon!

Great post, thanks for that – I need to turn the camera on more often and just shoot anything and everything, I’ve become too picky on what I want to photograph and it shows – I’m rusty when I do take the kit out of the bag.

I found a beautiful image of yours on Facebook and then linked here to find this awesome blog post. This post soooo hits home with me as well, but having it written out like you did, just clarifies things for me perfectly! Thank you!

Loved this post!!! I reflected on what you said about finding your true “style” from within yourself, not what others around you are doing, and not with the ‘newest’ fad prop either. I’ve found myself doing that lately… and while I’m a newbie in the biz, I also know that I have a lot of creativity within myself. Thanks for the insight you shared!

Also, I couldn’t email you at the email listed?? Not sure why… and I have quite a few burning questions saved nicely in a drafted email. :) Could I get the email from you? Thanks so much.

Thank you for this post,I have so much struggle with my editing…I don’t like “my style” and think about it too much,and it makes me sad…Love your work,you are such a inspiration,thank you:)

I spent this evening with the loveliest couple, their love for each other was so strong and beautiful to capture on film. We had a fantastic time in the studio and then to a few of my favorite locations. I had a hard time skimming down their session for a sneak peek we had so...
