Last Saturday, I woke up a lot happier than I have been in a while. I'm usually NOT a morning person. I went downstairs, put on a pot of coffee, poured myself a cup, and went outside to enjoy the warm morning sunshine. It was a quiet morning. I found myself doing a lot of reflecting. I talked to God Briefly (I believe I thanked Him specifically for sunshine, clean air, butterflies, and fat-free french vanilla Coffee Matte) before making my way back inside to the shower to get ready for my day of photographing another beautiful May wedding.
"Why do I feel such joy right now?" I kept asking myself. Life is so hard and I get down on myself sometimes just like everyone else from time to time. Then I realized that the feelings of pure happiness were coming from the joy I would experience getting to do what I love once again for another Saturday. I'm so lucky to have such amazing clients that are so down to Earth. God has blessed me with allowing me to work in a field that I am so passionate about. It was in this moment that all I wanted to do was cry because of the realization that I have a lot to be thankful for and God was reminding me of that. I think I said Thank you God 50 times while I was washing my hair.
I proceeded to photograph a great wedding with a smile on my face the entire day. I even captured what I believe is my favorite bridal portrait of the season that day.
I feel blessed to be a photographer. And I feel even more blessed that you took the time to read this very personal side of me. Thanks and may God continue to bless your life!
