Capturing 2010

CampbellThis past year has been such a difficult but rewarding journey. Difficult because of the many late nights I spent researching, learning, editing, brainstorming, discussing…anything photography related. My thirst and drive to grow consumed me because of my need to satisfy and win over my clients. I no longer wanted to be the “cheap” photographer but a desired photographer based on of the quality of pictures, style, creativity, and personable experience that clients would get when choosing me as their photographer. I have always been a driven person when it comes to mastering something that is foreign to me. Things may not come naturally but I have been able to be successful in areas that have been foreign to me because of my determination and strong work ethic. On the flip side, this past year has been so rewarding because of the many families, mommies to be, brides and grooms, newborns, and graduating seniors I got to meet! Each session was special in it’s own way and each person I met added more spark to my flame.

I could go on and ON about this past year and all the lessons that I have learned, but this blog post is dedicated to the people who trusted me with their pictures, who encouraged me in more ways than they know, who supported my passion and who gave me the confidence to continue pursing what I love. You are all the reason why my photography business has continued to grow and I thank you for your support and loyalty to my dream! Thank you for making 2010 a year never to forget.
