First off, want to say sorry to my blog & readers that I have hardly had any free moments during the fall/holiday season to post. Usually trying to work through piles of dirty laundry, dishes or enjoy my children! Also, Thank you to all my awesome clients for their trust, support, patience in allowing me to capture moments of your children or family! To my husband, children, family & friends...thanks for understanding that you don't get to see or talk to me much the past few months while I work long, crazy hours! Enough of the mushy stuff...
I awoke this morning to a few minutes of quiet before starting a busy work day. I chose to check out fb for few minutes & read a post on my fanpage wall. My first instinct was to delete it as most would, but I decided to shower first(lots great ideas have came in there!) & think about the best way to handle. I prayed about it "dot, dot, dot...(any Bachelor/Bachelorette fans out there,lol!)
....Lemons & my "Gran" came to mind. Gran was one of those people that everyone loved! She was sweet, kind & very wise & just darn lovable! Miss her everyday!
I often stop myself & think about what she would say or do in situations before I do something. Lemons then came to mind- LOVE the saying "Lemons to Lemonade"...
So my answer is to leave the post up. Yes, it would be easieer to delete it & even block the person,etc & just move on. But that's not me.
I am not going to comment directly about the situation because that would be unprofessional. Personal communication goes a long way, people should try it instead of hiding through social media! I will say that I know from beginning to end, I was nothing but kind, patient & professional. I provide all my clients, whether studio of hospital each with time, respect & lots of patience. Those that know me, know that I usually go above & beyond to get the perfect shots of their newborns, children & families!
I have worked hard to know the differnence between good quality photography & not so good. What I used to think was good was really not technically correct. There are alot of amateur photographers out there that people think are doing good quality work, which is whole other story. (many have wrote about it, just google it!) All I will say is that what you think is good might be that you just love the subject(s) and aren't really trained or know the difference in technically correct.
I have also learned to look at the negative situations, one's we may want to "delete" and see what I could have done differently. If nothing more that to push my self to do better! I don't think we can ever stop learning!
So that leaves me with lemons...Gotta go, going to go make some lemonade!
Wishing everyone Merry Christmas, Happy New Year & many blessings!
