I take pictures.. What do you LOVE to do?

Happy Valentines Day! This is my first Valentines Day in a very long time in which I am completely single. No expectations, no disappointments!! I've vowed to spend the first 6 months of this year dedicated to just ME. Being selfish sometimes is one of the most important parts of true self love. If you are anything like me, a people pleaser, it is essential to take some time for just YOU. Even if it means not being there for a friend ONE time, or having to cancel on plans, if they are your true friends they will understand.


Part of self love is also being happy with what you are doing with your life. My yoga instructor said "you are what you do every day.. so if you claim to be an actor.. you should act every day.. if you claim to be a singer.. you should sing everyday." If you LOVE what you do you should be doing it every day. So this made me think.. am I a photographer? Do I take pictures EVERY day? Yes.. Yes I do.


I have to admit.. Lately I've been questioning a lot of things.. Am I on the right path? Is photography what I want to do for the rest of my life? Should I still be in LA? I don't really know the answers to any of these questions.. but what I do know is that I am a photographer. No matter if I am taking headshots, taking party pictures of my friends and I, doing "self portait" kissy faces on my iphone, or taking pictures of random objects on the street.. adding an effect on instagram.. and posting it as "art", I know that I for sure take at least one picture every day. So yes, wherever life takes me, whatever I end up doing to make money, I at least know one thing. I LOVE CAPTURING LIFE, BEAUTY, AND PEOPLE.


So for Valentines Day.. take a look at your life, the people in it, and that "thing" you do.. every day.. that defines you.. and if you don't have one.. start searching for it.
