Press on! / Southern Oregon Photographer

Sometimes in life we run into people and they just tear you down for no apparent reason. Your work, your style…pretty much everything that defines you.  It’s up to you to either take it in stride for what it’s worth, or allow it to discourage you and give up.

My wise 15 year daughter gave me this quote yesterday,

“No one can make you feel inferior without your consent ” -Eleanor Roosevelt

Eleanor sure hit the nail on the head didn’t she?  SO true.  Through this little experience, it has not only humbled me, but it has inspired me to encourage other aspiring artists out there with kind words.  The power of life and death are in the tongue.

Pressing on! It’s a new day!

To end the week, I wanted to share with you a photographers wedding that absolutely captivated me.  Jessica Claire is one of the BEST wedding photographers in the industry.  She greatly inspires me.  Her own wedding video is featured on STYLE ME PRETTY today. .  Scroll down to watch it and be inspired!!

Happy Friday!!!

elena w - you have a very wise daughter :)
I love some of the sayings that eleanor roosevelt is know for. this has been my motto for a long time – “Do what you feel in your heart to be right – for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
and you are so right! a kind word can change the course of one person’s life just the way harsh and unthoughtful words do.
