so this next family I'm going to be really honest, and i didn't think were going to use me again. the first time they asked me to take their photos was about a year ago. i was soooo excited. this was going to be my FIRST real session for anyone that wasn't family or a really close friend. i was so nervous and felt extremely unorganized, and after an hour of taking pictures and chasing kiddos, i drove away from that session feeling a little proud and a little but like i wasn't sure this was really going to work. the hobby that i love may not be good enough to make something out of. but at least i knew that i could walk away from that moment knowing i did try my best. fast forward a few months and i got their Christmas card in the mail, and every photo on it was the ones i took for them that previous summer. i still get goose bumps even now just typing it. it was my real ah ha moment ( thanks Oprah!) that i may be able to pull it off... that it may not just be all my "friends" that like my love, but strangers too.
