AH! This session was so so so good for me.  I’ve recently felt like I was in this rut. Photography became solely work, going through the motions.  Started to feel like I was doing the same things over and over and I had lost this creative touch.  I’d pick up my camera for a session and then set it down not to be picked up until another session.  I stopped shooting for ME.  And us creative folk we need an outlet!  So late fall I knew it was time to start working on personal projects, not just sessions for clients.  One of the things I really wanted was a girl in wedding dress who would tromp around and let it get dirty.  So I posted it up on FB and Laura JUMPED on the opportunity.  I was STOKED.   A gorgeous girl, a fellow photog, a new friend, could this get any better?  Then she said she had horses.

Yesterday was a crazy day and truely, it wasn’t going well.  The morning was all over the place, I kind of wasn’t in the mood, I definitely wasn’t feeling it.  I hated it.  And it lingered the whole drive, this isn’t how I wanted to start this session.  This was supposed to be fun, adventurous, and an opportunity to step out of my rut.  Hey, guess what?!  YOU CHOOSE HOW YOU REACT TO OR IN A SITUATION!  Ya I know, no brainer.  But sometimes I need to pep talk myself, and by sometimes I mean VERY often 😉  A quick reminder that how this time went was something I would determine.  You wanna know how to start a shoot of right? HUGS! Hugs make everything better.  And from there we were off.

I’m so jacked about how these images turned out.  We were freezing but in my opinion, it was worth it.  So check them out! Then you should head over to Laura’s Facebook Page and leave her some love.  Cause, that’s what awesome people do 😉
