Freelancing

As much as I love my job I desperately miss freelancing.  I never pictured myself working in a studio. I always felt like they were too limiting to what you can do and in a way it is.  Flash id unlike any studio I've ever been into.  Everyday I work I apply new poses, techniques etc. to my shoots but I miss the natural beauty of sun flares and vibrant colors that can only be found outside.  Some days when I browse pinterest I think to myself this is it in my "spare time" (I have non) I'm going to get back into photography and apply what I've learned to my style of shooting.  I miss having my beautiful friends at my photography disposal.  I can't tell you the amount of times I've called one of them up and put together a spur of the moment photo shoot 20 minutes later.  That freedom to do whatever I wanted with my camera and editing was amazing.  I didn't have to worry about whether the person I was shooting liked my style or the things I tried because they were my unjudging, do anything friends.  It took me three years of busting my ass to build such a successful and satisfied clientele.  I relied on my reputation to get bookings and it worked! Sorry for the vent I just really miss doing my own thing sometimes when it comes to photography.  I'm more than grateful for the shoots i still book even though I'm a state away.  Every time I go home I come back to Utah with more great shoots to edit and another loyal client.  I'm coming to terms with the fact that if I want to start doing my own photography in my spare time here I'm going top have to work from the ground up as frustrating as that is it's also exciting.  I'm ready to start trying new things with the friends I have here and with my shoots scheduled this year back home.  I have two weddings this summer with couples that are making photography a priority in their wedding which makes me even more excited to shoot them!  Until my next shoot here are some re-edited old favorites of mine that will forever be beautiful in my eyes.  I miss my perfect photogenic friends!
