I love my job! I’m so blessed to get to meet so many wonderful people and have them invite me into their lives to document their special moments and the love and growth of their families over time.

But this job is not an easy one. So often people assume that if you have a nice camera you can take professional grade photos and it’s simply not true. There is so much more that goes into truly great photographs than just having nice equipment. Really understanding your equipment and what it takes to get those genuine smiles as well as the serious faces that capture your heart in a professional photographers images.

On top of the skills that are required, there is an unlimited list of things we are doing behind the scenes. We’re doing our financial paperwork, working on marketing pieces, writing blog posts, educating others, educating ourselves, updating our websites and portfolios, retouching images, creating Facebook features, designing albums and other products, contacting clients, and so much more. And that’s just what we do for work! Many of us are also running households and in charge of making meals, cleaning house and doing laundry.

But there is one reason we keep working away. There is one thing that continues to motivate us and encourage us to keep moving forward. And that’s the love support and encouragement of our clients! Nothing makes me happier than seeing the joy on my clients faces when they receive their final products or the tears in their eyes when they view their images for the first time. It’s the little notes and emails from clients expressing how much they enjoyed their session and how thrilled they are with their products. It’s the kind reviews you post on our websites or google.

In reality, we may be running the business, but you – our loyal and supportive clients – You are the reason we are here! You are the backbone of our business. Without you we wouldn’t be able to do what we so love to do! We wouldn’t be able to continue providing you with those precious moments you will cherish for years. So thank you to all of my amazingly wonderful clients! I can’t begin to express how thankful I am to have you on my team!

Well I hope you’re having a great Wednesday and I’ll see you back here on Friday! 🙂
