I’m Uncomfortable Too…. | Hawaii Wedding Photographer | Personal

wonderful blog post. I am very guilty, as an overweight older woman I am very self conscious. Very.

I look forward to working with you once you relocate to California, after reading this post I am even more excited to see your work and to have you take the photos of our family.

Aw, I totally get it! Being photographed is hard for almost everyone, I think! I know that brides have a lot to worry about on their wedding day, that added pressure of looking "beautiful" is almost always there. Everyone needs to learn to appreciate what we have to offer, inside and out, every day. We’re all amazing, if we choose to look within. I think it’s great that, as a wedding photographer, you choose to get on the other side of the camera and get some headshots! Beautiful, btw!

You are too cute and your headshots are so great! These are perfect to showcase on your website as a San Francisco wedding photographer!

you look fab! it’s hard to be photographed sometimes, it’s easier to preach it than do it. So glad you did though. Hope you love California, it’s a great place to be a photographer!

These are beautiful head shots of you! I think the same things, and I feel very uncomfortable in front of the camera too. I wish other people could see themselves through my eyes, and I am sure I would be surprised to see myself through theirs. It is important, no matter what, to get in front of the lens!

What a lovely blog post. I’m glad your okay after your accident. I bet this positive attitude helps with your wedding clients from San Francisco. I am always so awkward in front of the camera. LOL Thanks goodness for amazing photographers to help me at least look relaxed.

Girl, these are amazing head shots! You personality and beauty really shines through. Thank you for sharing a personal post. SO. MANY. people are uncomfortable in front of the camera, I think it would be kind of a relief to know that, sometimes, photographer feel that way too! Good for you for sharing these images will all of us. They really are beautiful.

I couldn’t agree with you more! Being in front of a camera, instead of behind it, makes you feel so vulnerable and critical. I used to really hate being in front of the camera, I really didn’t like not being in control, but eventually I realized people see you everyday, and from every angle-living your life, and if you wouldn’t hide yourself from the world, then why would you hide from a photo!! It also helps these days that when I look in the mirror I try not to say or think negative things. I used to make all these “I wish” statements about my body, and all that does is pick yourself apart. Look at yourself with love and celebrate the accomplishments that you have been through! <3 celebrate the beauty in others and most importantly yourself!

You ARE beautiful! And this is such a wonderful post! 😀

That’s so cool you put the shoe on the other foot and had a turn behind the camera! I think every photographer should experience that so they can better empathize with their clients.
You are absolutely beautiful, btw! Rae Marshall did an awesome job too!
