The struggle is real 😩

Writer's picture: Gretchen MaldonisGretchen Maldonis

This is one of those posts I feel I have to put out there in blog land! After years of learning and practicing and learning and practicing my now beautiful Canon camera with my awesome Sigma lenses I find I just can’t seem to get anywhere. I offer a lot of free photos but still can’t seem to get anywhere. This caused a lot of self doubt and a lot of questioning of, what am I doing? Maybe I really suck as a photographer and should find something else to focus on. But it’s my passion now, I don’t want anything else. So I just continue to offer my services and practice practice practice. I’ve always struggled with self doubt and it does hold me back. I feel like its a wall that I put up and I need to hurdle that wall if I want to succeed in this passion I have found. So here I sit, staring at this beautiful camera bag, filled with an awesome camera and sweet lenses wondering and asking myself, how do u fix this? Soooo, my plan is to pull up my boot straps, cross those people off the list that don’t want to take my offer of free beautiful images and venture on!! I’m not giving up on this passion I have learned to love, nope!! If it’s not my destiny to be a paid photographer and eat lobster and drink champagne then I guess it’s Peanut butter sandwiches and kool aid, lol!! That’s okay because I’ll be doing what I love!❤️


Thanks for reading
