It seems just like yesterday I was photographing this sweet baby boy during his newborn photo shoot….time flies! This is the sweetest family and it has been an honor to capture every milestone during their Baby Portrait Plan. They have a special place in my heart, as I have watched this family grow over the past year.
This family had a lot of life changes over the past year, and not just baby boy. They moved from North Carolina to South Carolina several months ago … and I am so blessed to say they remained clients. They drove well over 2 hours (one way) to the studio for multiple milestone photo shoots throughout the year. I am absolutely humbled and honored that they chose to invest in the portrait experience I offer, especially with the added travel time once they moved away.
It warms my heart … I know I say it often, but I adore this job. I spent countless hours climbing the corporate ladder years ago and went home at the end of the day completely exhausted, drained and unfulfilled. I worked 60 -80 hours a week, and while I absolutely loved my staff and co-workers, the job itself left me longing for a deeper purpose. Please hear me out on this… I am thankful for that career…I poured my heart and soul into that job (like everything I do…if I’m in, I’m all in, there’s no in-between). I worked hard, accomplished a lot, but most of all I LEARNED so much from that job. I learned life lessons there like hard work always pays off, integrity is always rewarded and that customer service is the key to success. Those lessons and many more all helped mold me into the business owner I am today.
I say all that to say that it is no small miracle to have a job that you LOVE. I am so thankful for the opportunity to do something I am passionate about….capturing memories. telling stories and having the privilege of walking down this journey in life with some amazing people. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for allowing me to document your life…I am grateful.
