I hate to fail. I'm terrified to find out that my abilities are inadequate, or to leave someone disappointed in my efforts. I think it's a big downfall for this to be your insecurity, because it causes me to not strive to take that risk, to be better than I am if there's a chance that it will blow up in my face. I have a few others, but I think this one is the root of me. For instance, I am so nervous about my photography business. Although it is doing pretty well for as long as I've been at it, I always worry "What if things don't go the way I want them to? What if this client isn't happy with their photos?". I want SO MUCH to be a success and to be able to support myself someday through my photography, but there's always that nagging little insecurity in the back of my mind, asking what if I do something wrong??? I don't really know how to show this in a photograph... but this kind of sums it up (thank you internet photo search!).
HOGWASH!!! You are a FABULOUS photographer! and I've got about a billion wedding pictures to prove it. I totally understand the fear of taking risks, but there is a difference between being afraid and being paralyzed by fear. don't let your fear over rule your ability to take these risks! you have an AMAZING talent! You will achieve great things! <3
