On a blog we can tell what we want to tell, share what we want to share, and in a way, be who we want to be. Today I’m just gonna keep it real….Not that I am normally fake, but you get what I’m saying…(right?!)

First of all, Friday has snuck up on me two weeks in a row now!  Before I know it Friday rolls around and I haven’t prepared a blog post. Not that I am on a blogging schedule, but when I have shoots to be blogged, I try to blog about every other day. And lets be honest, blogging takes time. So I normally blog the night before and schedule the post to publish the next morning. So, when I realized it was already Friday (again!), there was no way to throw a blog post together this morning. It was all I could do to get myself and my girls out the door on time to get to my shoot (adorable newborn shoot..ahhh!) And Kennedy generally has some sort of meltdown as we try to leave. She doesn’t want to wear those shoes, she wants to take something with her, she wants to walk, she wants to be held, I didn’t do something exactly right, the list goes on. Anyway, I am finally getting around to blogging today – while they are napping

So, that brings us to Cetarium. An awesome band made up of  five guys; Chad, Rodney, Chip, Rodney and Levin. Now, still keeping it real… As I waited for these guys to arrive at our location I sat in my car and called up Stuart (my husband, for those of you who don’t know) and was all like “Babe I am so nervous!” Not sure why I was nervous, maybe because I had never done a shoot that included 5 guys, maybe because I had never done a shoot for a rock band (or any band for that matter) and I was just feeling a bit extra nervous. How would they do in front of my camera? How would I do directing them? How could I make them look ‘cool’ and rock bandish? Yeah, maybe I was overthinking, but that is how it is with me and my photography sometimes. It means a lot to me, I want to love my work and I want my clients to love it.   Anyway, Stu said all the right things “it’s gonna be okay, your gonna do great….it’s good to be nervous, keeps you humble….just go out there and do your thing….. have fun….”  He was right. As soon as I stepped out of the car I didn’t think about my nerves. I didn’t think about the ‘hows’. I just did it. And I have to say, this shoot was SO much fun!

Thank you guys for rocking it out (pun intended!) in front of my camera!  Seriously, I had a great time
