{ For the Love of Photography ~ Personal Post }

"Find something you're passionate about and keep tremendously interested in it."
- Julia Child

Have you ever grown to love something so much, become so immersed in the pursuit of it, even reaching success in it, to realize you feel a bit disconnected with what stirred your heart in the first place?

The other day I was driving and it dawned it on me that I don't remember the last time I've taken my camera out to shoot just for the love of it. 

Ok so I'm on instragram constantly.  But when I upload a photo and other people comment on it, it's so social.  I love being alone somewhere and just shooting in my own little world with my real deal camera that has the capability to do so much more.

My interest in the art of photography is what has platformed for all the amazing people I'm honored to shoot for, but I want to keep the basics a continual part of my life.

So recently before a shoot I had a date with my camera.  No expectations, contracts, pressure, money, performance; just it and I.  And you know what?  I fell in love all over again.
