the models || snapshots

My cousin Helen came to visit from Chicago this past weekend. We decided to do a random photoshoot at the park since it was a really nice day out. I normally don't like doing portrait and posed shots, but this was a lot of fun. I think when it comes to photography I feel the most comfortable when I'm shooting people I know very well. I need to step out of my comfort zone and learn to work with people I don't know. I have a laundry list of fears when it comes to photography. As different opportunities open up for me I'm slowly starting to get over my fears. Even starting this website and sharing what I capture is a step. 

What are some of your fears when it comes to doing what you love? I love photography but I get so afraid so I tend to lose my motivation to take pictures. How do you get past these fears?
