You know what I’m finally figuring out? Creativity takes a back seat when you overbook yourself. That’s because all I can think of are all of the pending deadlines, past deadlines and the new deadlines. Who has room to think about things like lighting and composition? And as you can see—it shows.
But the upside to all this . . . conditioning.
I’m sure that the latest two projects that I signed up for will pay-off down the road. You know, down-the-road, when I’m well conditioned to crank out a photography session in less than 90 minutes.
I know I’m always fretting on about this, but it drives me nuts how one day everything comes together with ease, and another day no matter how hard I try everything seems evidently “stuttered”.
The photography for this post was just that—stuttered, full of minutiae movement that amounted to no real change from picture to picture. But I’m reminding myself—conditioning—creativity happens with practice, not always by inspiration.

Ok, I would give almost anything to be able to photograph like you! Seriously, I need you to teach me a few tricks. I think every last one of your photos is gorgeous! And the Bread? YUM! Looks so good!

Even when you aren’t trying, your photography is so good! That bread is fantastic, I love the fluffy texture of it and apples are so tasty right now.

Kelli @ The Corner Kitchen says
I sort of think the creative process has ups and downs for all of us, and that eventually we can take away a lot from the down days. I always find your photography really inspiring! Also feeling seriously inspired to have more pull apart bread in my life!

I think that these photos are stunning. I adore the turquoise background. And the pull-apart bread looks pretty damn yummy too.
