One Day...
I was taking photos of families for a church directory. This woman said to me before our session, "I have never liked myself in a photo. Never... So, good luck."
Yikes.
I was well aware of what it felt like to not like how you look. She wasn't the first person to feel that way. So, I made it my goal to not only make her feel confident, but to take a photo, at least one, that would make her realize how beautiful she actually was.
After the session while we were reviewing the photos, she cried with me and said "You made me actually look beautiful."
After that, I knew I was going to be a photographer for a long time. I had work to do and a mission to accomplish.
