Inspiration.... get me some of that! | Franklin Tn Photography Related Group
This week I want to discuss finding your inspiration. Something I myself have been really trying to focus on. I find for me personally I can have moments of being completely uninspired. Maybe its normal... maybe its not... maybe I'm too hard on myself... maybe I'm not hard enough! Who knows.. either way I want to share a few ways to get your creative behind into gear.
1- Obviously being inspired by other photographers, designers, models, & artists etc. is a huge way to find inspiration.... but what do you do with when you find it?? Well first you really need to pinpoint what exactly it is that is inspiring you? Is it the light, the colors, makeup, style, or the model??? Then take a note in a journal or post it.. whatever you have. Then go to 2.
2- Catalogs/Magazines... something you can have physically in your hands. Flip through them... and again what jumps out to you? When you find it cut/tear it out. Put it into a book a folder.. whatever... just keep them together somewhere. Then go to 3.
3- Open your eyes to the world around you.. find inspiration from people at concerts...coffeshops...walking down the street. Do you see something in their style that speaks to you? Do you see a color of a building or a sign that would make a cool location?? If so.. take note! Then go to 4.
4- Now look over all your notes and your pictures... are starting to see your style...and what you want to work toward? Once you figure that out you can take a mental note of what you would like to work on. Do you have a job coming up that you can try something new on?? If not.. make your own job! Sometimes practicing something new on your own time brings more satisfaction than a paid gig. The point is don't just sit and wait for it to hit you in the face... develop your style and continue growing! Then go to step 5.
5- Okay.. so you feel like you are unstoppable.. you have tried awesome new things...and actually seen what you know will make you happy with your work. Well...how to maintain it?? DON'T STOP. Constantly be craving inspiration... challenge yourself. I set up a 52 week challenge with another photographer.. that way I have to be accountable for at least once a week to push myself. What can you do??
Well there you have it! I hope this was helpful on some way to everyone in ALL of these photography related fields. We will definitely be talking more about staying inspired at our meeting November 4th. I will also be posting soon about originality.. and an interesting take on finding something and being inspired vs. the be original issue. Stay tuned!
Since... pictures of things are cool.. here is how the inspiration for this photo came about.
- assignment for 52 week challenge
- brainstorm...toss an idea to Sara.. she became inspired!
- She mentioned an old catalog I have never even seen.. but described it in a sentence.
- I became inspired by the sentence.. created my own visuals in my head.
- Sara then remembered an inspiring makeup look she had seen in a book.
- Once Sara was completely styled we went and got our shot for the assignment.. that's it we were done.... but wait...
- After we got done with the shot.. I was all kinds of inspired to keep going and shoot just for fun! That is when I got the shot below. It was awesome.. and probably my favorite personal shoot of the year.
I love this shot...

Mention Monday | Franklin Tn Photographer
Happy Monday! What's happy about it you ask? Well... I can't think of much other than I bought some $14 cookie dough from the neighbor's children. I always get suckered into buying whatever they are selling for school.. and I ALWAYS have a tinge of remorse when the NEVER say thank you. Oh well.. its all about the good cause right?;) Anyway, MENTION MONDAY...here we go...

Happy Mention Monday everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend:) I did, it was pretty low key.. just how I like it! I have a few things to go over in this post.. so get comfy and dig in!
Week 4 Photo Challenge: "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine.
First of all I have always LOVED this song.. and I think it is so cool that a song that was released so long ago finally found the acclaim that it deserves! I saw her performance on the VMA's and her voice was crazy good. Anyway, back to the important stuff.. My favorite thing about this challenge is seeing how Denné interprets the title. Hers is all about freedom, movement, happiness, and anything but stagnant. So pretty! She has the prettiest OOF(intentionally out of focus) shots on her flickr!This week I went for a more literal approach.. summer/heat over.. cozy up with winter and coffee. BTW.. went to Ugly Mugs in East Nashville for the first time.. and I had hot chocolate... THE BEST I HAVE EVER HAD!! They were super nice too.

For the my music video selection for this choice... going old school again... I LOVE 80's music..especially haunting new wave. I was somewhere recently and this song came on.. and I was the only one who knew who it was. TRAGIC;) So anyway... enjoy!

Lovely Lucy | Franklin Tn Pet Photographer
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all have an amazing weekend... I know I will! I am going to see The Pixies in concert tonight(a dream of mine) and my beautiful son turns 3 tomorrow! I can't believe it! So the last post for the week will be Lucy! You may remember Lucy... she was the 3rd place winner of the pet contest I held a couple months ago. Cats can be difficult to photograph...Lucy however was not difficult at all! She had been practicing all week apparently so she just did what we wanted... although I am sure she wanted to murder us when we put the cat hat on her! With winter around the corner hook your cat up with an awesome hat from scooterKnits! I am normally not all about dressing up animals..but I think these hats are so awesome and such a great price that it has to be done! haha Take it away Lucy.....
Since my son is turning 3... the music post today is a song that I will forever link to him. When he was a tiny 3 month old... he would get into a crying fit in the car every now and then.. no matter how hard or why he was crying.. if I played this song he would stop as soon as he heard the first note. It was amazing.. and in turn became my favorite piece of advice to give to new mothers.. find a song and play it a lot... sing and dance with your baby to it everyday... then they will recognize it and it will immediately get there attention in those times when you can't physically soothe them in the car.

Photo Challenge Shoot | Franklin Tn Photographer
EEK! I am so beyond happy with these images! This was a challenge inside a challenge for me.... Not only did I have to end up with a photo for last weeks theme which was a tough one, but I wanted to shoot at night. I am a natural light photographer and that's the way I like it... I have ZERO intention of ever having to have lighting equipment that has to be set up and on stands. I am too mobile and too quick to change my mind during a shoot. I will use my speedlite if necessary, but its always on camera when I do.
I collaborated with my awesome friend Sara for this shoot... she styled herself and did her awesome makeup! It had a rocky start at first, but as soon as I had an assistant to help me it just clicked... We originally only intended to take a couple of shots for the challenge... but she was so gorgeous I couldn't stop at just the two crazy ones.. so pretty we went!
Here they are.. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
oh and if we had played music... and we should have... it would have been this! I automatically associate crazy with this song ever since I heard it in Silence of the Lambs when I was young... and I just recently heard a cover of it on an episode of Nip Tuck last night... so I thought it was fitting:)
