Who knew I'd love photographing animals on a farm???

Most of my life I spent trying to get off the farm. Now as a stay at home mom and photographer I'm finding I really enjoy spending time with animals. There is something sweet and innocent about spending time capturing their uniqueness. It's not like working with People. People have an opinion about what their image is supposed to look like when the day is done and animals rarely realize you were doing anything other than standing in their space. I guess it's the lack of expectation that I enjoy. I just get to do what I love and see the results at the end of my day. I really love flipping through the images after a few hours. Where with people I find my self in knots because I am worried about what they are going to think. It's hard work really and I think I make it so much worse for myself with all the doubt I have about my own skill and talent. Really I don't know what I'm doing most of the time. I just know what I want it to look like and keep trying til I get it. Mostly it's luck I guess. For now...I am going to just keep going and hope to find the same joy in photographing people as I do in animals.
