After having this website for quite a few years, this is my first blog post... 
 

I was inspired to write this blog because of the amazing experience I had on a photo shoot yesterday.  I photographed a beautifully intriguing woman.  As the shoot progressed, more and more layers of my client unraveled.  She spoke of her passion for her women's group and how she wanted to build unity in women with God as the main influence. 
 

She held her head high throughout the shoot; smiling and giving off strength in her eyes.  It was obvious that she was a very gentle, yet determined lady.  She danced freely and allowed herself to enjoy the moment; It was absolutely beautiful.
 

At the end of the shoot, we went more in depth of her ventures and what she would accomplish 'God-willing'.  She started weeping, expressing how wonderful the photo shoot experience was and how it was an emotional and mental boost for her.  She was so overwhelmed with emotion and thanked me several times.
 

Whenever I experience my clients become overwhelmed by a photo session, I too become touched.  Photography is more than a business; more than income.  It is a tool that motivates and enhances self-confidence and builds strength and ultimately why I love being a photographer.
