MY BATTLE WITH MY BLOG PHOTOS

I think all bloggers at one stage or another doubt themselves, their talents and their significance in the world of blogging. Whether you're dubious of your photos, writing style or just your ability to get a post out on time, blogging has the ability to "take it out of you". I am a perfectionist and sometimes I can spend 3 hours taking photos and dislike each and every one. I think 90% of bloggers would admit they have been in this situation a number of times. I do really enjoy blogging and taking photos but unfortunately, it is hard not to compare your photos with others. So I just wanted to talk about it, about my photos and how they've changed and how I wish to perhaps improve them.

"It looks like a child's craft project"
My photos have dramatically improved over the last few months and I should be proud of them, However, I feel like I've been stuck in a bubble of doubt, I know I've come a long way and I know I have a long way to go but I can't help but doubt myself. I feel like I am going through a phase of figuring out my photo style. Am I the queen of flatlays? Nope. Am I a pro at capturing "in the moment photos?" Nope. I'm working through all these factors and feel like I'm closer to finding my "photo style" but not quite there yet. Sometimes I place everything perfectly on a beautiful background and it works beautifully, then I look back at it and it looks like a child's craft project. 

I'm just trying to figure it all out, I don't have a natural gift to capture something and make it beautiful, it takes a lot of time and effort for me. I have a lack of knowledge when it comes to photography, lighting, and editing. I'm still learning my camera manual settings which is a task in itself. 

I know this post may seem a little obsessive but I treat my blog like a job and I've always had the oomph in me to work hard and do my best and whenever I'm not 100% satisfied with my work it does get to me. However, I refuse to let it be an issue and I will definitely research every little thing to figure out exactly how I want my photos. 

Anywhoo enough with the chit chat , now its time to have a little laugh at some of my older photos.
(some are really bad, some really old and some not as bad but just not my style anymore) Please excuse the fact that each photo is a different shape/size.

As you can see I've come a long way (insert crying laughing face here). 
I don't really know what point I was trying to make with this post, I just felt like I needed to explain myself and my photos. I hope you've enjoyed it anyway! and let me know in the comments below if your guilty of over thinking, over analyzing your blog.
