The Fear of Starting Something New
I toyed with the idea of starting a photography business for years before I actually made it happen. I was terrified—what if I wasn’t talented enough? What if I didn’t know enough about running a business? What if I failed miserably and had to face the embarrassment of everyone I knew?
Then one day, I had a realization: the only thing worse than failing was never trying at all. Letting fear and insecurity keep me from chasing my dream of making a living as a photographer was simply not an option. So, I took the leap—and I can confidently say it was one of the best decisions I ever made.
A Dog Mom’s Hesitation—and What Changed Her Mind
Recently, a dog mom reached out about booking a session. As we talked, I could sense some hesitation. She had concerns:
Her senior dog wasn’t as active as he used to be, and she worried he wouldn’t cooperate.
Life was hectic, and she wasn’t sure if this was the “right time.”
She felt unsure about being in front of the camera.
So, I asked her—despite all these worries, what made her reach out in the first place?
Her response was simple but powerful:
"I don’t want to regret not having beautiful photos of my best friend when he’s gone."
Why There’s No Perfect Time—But Now Is Always the Best Time
Big decisions often feel overwhelming. Our minds come up with countless reasons to put things off, especially when something feels uncertain or a little risky. But the truth is, when is anything ever a sure thing?
If something is holding you back from booking a pet photography session this spring, I encourage you to ask yourself: is that reason bigger or more important than the joy of capturing this moment in your pet’s life?
Making the Process Easy and Stress-Free
I get it—life is busy, and stepping in front of the camera can feel intimidating. That’s why I make it my goal to ensure your experience is easy, fun, and completely stress-free. From guiding you through the session to capturing authentic, heartfelt images, my aim is for you to walk away knowing you made one of the best decisions ever.
