If anyone were to ask me what it is about my job that I find so incredible, I would tell them that, hands down, it is the ability to bring my clients happiness. To make people laugh and smile, both during their session, and every time they look at their images after that.
It makes my heart so happy to see the emotion and joy that photography can bring to people and their families. I have experienced professional photography on a personal level and have been reduced to tears of overwhelming love, joy, and appreciation when I look back on these precious moments captured forever in a photograph.
I wish that everyone in the world could experience this same feeling.
Recently, my good friend Nikki, who is an incredibly talented Professional Photographer at Nicole Kathlyn Photography, held her annual Giving Back Contest. She received a record 112 entries, and I knew immediately that I needed to step up and do my part to give back to the community as well.
So, with all that being said, welcome to the 1st Annual Giving Back Contest. We all know that our community is filled with some amazing individuals who have fallen on hard times… maybe they’re battling an illness, have experienced a life-changing event, give selflessly of themselves to others, or just can’t seem to get ahead no matter how hard they try…
I’m asking EVERYONE who reads this to open their hearts and nominate someone you know who desperately needs the gift of photographic memories to remind them that there is beauty in everyday life to hold on to.
