I had a shoot a week or so ago with a young girl named Nicole. She is beautiful, not sure though that she sees herself that way. She is kinda quiet, but came to life as we moved through the shoot. What was incredible to me, was how it all affected me! Ever time I watch the video that I created for her I get tears in my eyes. Her entire life stretching before her, a blank canvas… so much she will accomplish, all the changes in the world she will experience. I feel nothing but joy when I think of this for her!

This is why I do this. Yes, like everyone else, I have to make a living. But the feeling I get when I watch someone view the portraits we created together is something I can’t even articulate. I moved out of my comfort zone, and this is where the magic happens…
