Living in the Why : My Commitment to You!

5/10/2017

0 Comments

 
I’m someone captivated by life and the experiences that occur within those moments.
Deep within my soul lives the want, the need, the passion for human connection.
Those intimate moments where a friendship, a relationship forms.
Me, seeing, honoring, documenting you, as you.
The beauty within your uniqueness. 


Being inspired by the Author, Dave Eggers in one of my all time favorite books, “What is the What.”
He tells a story.
The story of Valentino Achak Deng, a young man, once a refugee from Sudan, now a citizen of the United States.
His vantage point, well it was told from the voice of Valentino Achak Deng in what would be the climax of this story, the book.
Eggers painted the pictures so vibrantly, so passionately.
A story.
A true story within this life time lives by another soul,
yet described as his own. 


It clicked. 

Me, yes me.
I am drawn, connected to, put on this earth to tell stories.
That story of you.
My vantage point is this moment.
Where you are in your life. Right here, right now.
An engagement. Your wedding. An anniversary.
Documenting your new or ever growing family.
That business you just started, are revamping or the personal triumph of you being the best possible version of you! 


It is my whole hearted commitment to capture you in your best possible light
sharing the natural beauty, euphoria, pure joy, the laughter, the tears, the wildly candid moments when you are skin glistens.
I do this through and with confidence, transparency, an inspired heart and intimate connection. 


Your session is designed through a unique vantage point of posed expressions interwoven with naturalness.
Your desires, space and time aways of value,
always honored because quite frankly
you being you, creates space for me to be me. 


Our photographic exchange is that time the very time for me to witness,
take in, capture, process and share that every moment,
that very part of your story.
My communication will always be honest, sincere, humbly truthful.
As your connection, your love, your support and mirrored vulnerability
will be cherished, valued, heard and held dear.

It is my honor to document your story and to tell it, share it,
through the most vibrantly unique vantage point.
​Namaste my friends of clients.
