LOVING MY JOB


One of things I enjoy most about being a portrait photographer is being invited out to peoples homes. For one it breaks away from the norm of the typical parks and locations that I choose along with offering the challenge of unfamiliar territory. Usually my customers already have certain ideas in mind or props they want to use which poses even more challenges. Every so often you might even come across unexpected photo opportunities as well especially if they have animals.


Its not just for those reasons that I love my job or that I am doing what I trully enjoy, but I get the opportunity to know and meet so many people. Enjoying them individually or watching the dynamics of one family to the next, it's trully satisfying.


I, like many, have complaints every so often about this or that, my complaint mostly being about the many hours of editing that goes unrecognized to get those perfect pictures. But at the end of the day all is over looked.
It all started 9 years ago, and with patience and practice, many years of hard work, I can finally say that my perserverance is paying off.

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them. ~G.B. Shaw, Mrs. Warren's Profession, 1893

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. ~William Feather
