I think we will make it.

Michelle Moore's a super star senior and fashion photographer and also an awesome blogger. Her recent post about being yourself and self doubt really inspired this post. She is one of my favorite photographers and if she's doubting herself - well then maybe it is just a normal feeling in this business...
I feel like photography is such a competitive thing, not necessarily always in a bad way - but I for one always am looking at pictures and comparing, which is just stupid. I know its stupid and yet I do it anyway. You just have to be yourself and do your own thing, and that is what is going to make you stand out. I cant tell you how many people's blogs I have found who take pictures that look just like Jasmine Star's. Really beautiful pictures but at the end of the day people are drawn to Jasmine's skill AND her big personality. So for those of us who are lucky enough to have skill - let's take the time to figure out who we are and what we want our message to be. I think then we will make it.
