Okay, being a little vulnerable here for a moment. 🥹🤎
This session with Sarah and Smores ended up being a whole lot more sentimental to me personally than I ever expected. And if you swipe to the second photo, you might understand why….
For those of you who haven’t been around since the beginning, here’s the back story: Five years ago, I photographed Laura and Akil in this exact same spot. It was one of my very first creative model calls. I had this vision of a girl in a white dress, a dark horse, and the beautiful fall colours.
And somehow, that Image became my first little taste of going “viral.” It was the photo that got my work noticed for the first time. The one that got shared in photography groups and earned me a noticeable amount of followers. And to this day it’s an image on my website that people mention!
Fast forward five years, and here I am again. Same spot. Another beautiful girl in a white dress, another gorgeous horse, and that same golden autumn light. But a very different photographer behind the camera 🥹
Because when you’re in the thick of running a business, it’s so easy to focus on where you want to be next that you forget to look back at how far you’ve already come.
Five years of learning, experimenting, doubting myself, finding my style, losing it a few times, and finding it again. 🤣
And suddenly, a session that I thought was just going to be another beautiful fall evening turned into this unexpected little reminder of how much I’ve grown.
I still love that original image and I’ll probably always love it. It was such a big moment for me back then. But looking at these images of Sarah, I can see how much my eye has changed. How differently I see things now.
So here’s to five years of growth, to the photos that started it all, and to the beautiful people and horses who continue to trust me with my crazy visions. 🤎🍂
