It’s already 2013. I’m sitting here in my apartment, by myself, the morning of my first wedding of the season. I’m giddy, nervous and excited. I want so much to grow as an artist and photographer this year. I want to push myself so much it hurts. I want to keep pushing and pushing until I feel more satisfied with my work, which I am not. I want to make all the images in my head into reality, all my dreams into real photographs.
It’s been a big year, big life changes, I started HelloXOXO and I am now “Milou + Olin Photography.” I am slowly becoming the photographer I want to become and I want to do so much this year with photography, I want to learn so much and improve. I don’t want to ever stop learning and pushing myself.
I want more than anything to shoot more weddings. I want to be open to more weddings, more experiences and more of the goodness that has come my way. More weddings with meaning and incredible couples, incredible families and incredible stories. I want to travel more and photograph more destination weddings. I want to meet people with amazing lives and laugh with them. I want to see couples embrace, families coming together and having good times. And at the end of the day, I want to hug them and thank them and then deliver beautiful photographs to them as my appreciation for sharing their day with me.
Among my dreams this year is to photograph weddings in other countries, in India, in Southeast Asia, and especially in my own home and backyard: Jakarta and Bali. I want to be able to photograph the place I grew up in with adult eyes. Though my current eyes of an artist and photographer.
I feel so much inside I can easily burst. So much desire and passion inside of me to do more with my art. I feel so incredibly blessed to have a job that can help me achieve my dreams and now I am on the lookout for couples with weddings I can travel to.
So 2013, I start my wedding season with much anticipation and excitement. I feel like I’m bursting through my skin and I can’t wait to start photographing. Hello 2013.
