Anne DeCamp Photography

I don’t like it! When I finally get around to dusting off my camera I kick myself because I remember just how much I love it.  Since my last blog post (which has been so long that I had to do a password recover to type this one) I’ve shot a wedding for my cousin, we took our annual coast trip, I took the annual pumpkin patch pictures, and I did my first client shoot in months!  I haven’t been taking clients while I’ve been in school but this semester is slightly less challenging (or I’m just so sick of school I’m studying less. Maybe that.) so I took a client.  I’m glad I did!  I love this family - they are gorgeous, fun and full of personality!

Didn’t shoot today, but edited a few more from yesterday.  Looked at a few blogs from photographers that I admire, feeling really inspired now.  Trying to link here but I think my version of Wordpress is so old I can’t (I’ll add updating to the long list of things that seem like good ideas but that I’ll never get around to actually doing.)  But huge thanks to Christie Hobson, Lisa Lucky and Meg Bitton - three amazing photographers definitely worth checking out.

Love the distortion in this. 

Love this.  My not so girlie girlie girl.

So first off, I am not a blogger.  I’d lie and say that I try but it’s not true.  I just don’t enjoy it.  That’s how I’ve felt about my photography lately.  Well, I guess I wouldn’t go as far as to say I don’t enjoy it because I always love photographing people, but lately I’ve just felt like I’m going through the motions.  I feel like I’m taking the same picture over and over again. I want to rediscover who I am as a photographer.  I don’t want to feel like I’m carrying around a mental checklist of what makes the perfect picture, instead I want to get lost in the moment.  I have seven more weeks and then school starts again (or maybe it’s only 6 now, I’ve lost count) but I want to stop making excuses and start shooting again.  I did that today.  And it’s nothing earth-shattering.  Not even close.  But it’s a start.  You’ve always got to start somewhere, and so I’m starting today.  I’d like to say I’ll blog about it but I guess we all know how likely that is.

Two more sessions to edit and then I’m caught up, and sad to say, done.  Not forever, but I am not taking any more sessions while I’m in school.  It makes me sad, because I love photography but I just don’t have the time that I used to and I don’t like feeling so behind on editing.  So, I’m taking a short break.  But until then I do have a few session sneak peeks to post - so here you go, A family.  I’ve been taking pictures for them since their oldest was a baby, and although he was so not into having pictures taken, I still think we got some good ones!

This entire family (even the dog!) was so incredibly beautiful.  Truly stunning family.  I’m so excited to meet your new baby boy in a few weeks!  Hope you enjoy the sneak peek, R family.  I had so much fun taking pictures with you guys!
