feeling incredibly grateful for black & white edits🖤🤍🎬 because they remind us to cherish color🫶🏼

there’s something so special about stripping a photograph down. when color no longer has the opportunity to guide your eye, you begin to see an image differently. 

you become more aware of things like composition, light, shadows and emotion. black & white asks a photograph to stand on its own without color telling you where to look or how to feel. Removing something so beautiful like color makes you appreciate it even more.🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙

photographers, I’m curious!!!!⬇️💘

are you drawn to black & white because it strips away the distraction… or color because it adds to the story?

Photographers📸 Are you scared to offer strangers a photoshoot?😳

I definitely was!! I was TERRIFIED… even when our skill level was something to be proud of. I still felt queasy asking someone to model for us. 

Why? 🤔

I had a fear of rejection!! And it made total sense… no one wants to get rejected or be told no. Especially when you are doing something vulnerable like stepping outside your comfort zone. 

That fear of rejection taught me something. Not that I should run away from moments where I could be rejected but rather a reminder that growth is on the other side of taking that risk. That fear showed me where I needed to fully lean in. DO WHAT SCARES YOU. Just freaking going for it. 

Not everyone will say yes! The ones that do will become so special to you. Friends you meet in the wild who are supportive of your growth and trust your vision and appreciate your value. But guess what? Even the ones that say no are going to teach you something. 

Maybe the lesson is to improve your pitch. To increase your confidence when you approach. To communicate their contribution and the value of the exchange. LET THE LESSON HAPPEN. 

And always stay a student. KEEP LEARNING. 

A special love note to Colleen & Peyton💌🍓thank you for saying yes!! And for such a beautiful sunset together on Sullivans Island Beach!! I will cherish these memories forever! Thank you for helping me to continue to put that fear to rest and encouraging me to continue to put myself out there!! You are both such sweet, giving and lovely humans!! I can’t wait for our next adventure together!!
